if by depravity you are referring to the number of “children” who run around shooting each other i agree things are definitely getting worse here…but i think that is first and foremost lack of responsible behavior and involvement by the parents, as well as the ridiculous availability of guns here…[/b]
…And, let’s not forget the federally-funded actions: a drug war that has marginalized large numbers of young people and given criminals a reason to organize (and the money to encourage others to emulate their lifestyle), all the while driving the cost of certain addictive and lethal drugs down by increasing their availability (and locking away, in disproportionate numbers, people using non-addictive and relatively harmless drugs). But, no, let’s blame rap music on that instead. That makes a *lot* more sense.

Well, I can’t speak for DT (though he’s been known to speak for me), but the traditional stance taken by certain groups of fundamentalists has been that the godless communist liberal secular humanist Satanists that run Hollywood have been systematically inserting their agenda into the mainstream in order to make the people of this great nation turn their backs on God and embrace their heathen and paganistic ways (which includes, but is not limited to, embracing homosexuality as an “alternative lifestyle,” sex for reasons other than procreation, enjoying sex when it’s *for* procreation, living together out of wedlock, etc.). It’s all part of that vast Satanic conspiracy that will lead to the rising of the Antichrist and his acceptance by the masses in the last days. You know, *that* conspiracy.

Like you, I also watch a lot of horror flicks, listen to a lot of what some might call “offensive,” read anti-social material, and whatnot, and I’m one of the nicest folks around. Of course, I’m a dyed-in-the-wool, card-carrying, soul-snatching Satanist, so maybe DT has a point. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img] [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]
