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…if on the other hand you are referring to couples living together,gay rights, and single parents, i do not see what tv has to do with that…speaking as someone whose parents did not let out of their site, and who monitored my grades and behavior, the first thing i think of when some 15 year old does something atrocious is, where were their parents? i watch a lot of splatter and such, i read a lot of material, but i still call strangers mr and ms/mrs, i still open doors for other people, i do not steal, nor do i beat or kill other people…i do however refrain from having my friends with ill-mannered children to my house, and i will snap a putdown to a rude person in a nanosecond [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]…so, like aleck, i am asking you to be more specific
