ROFLMAO!!! Hahahahahaaaaa... I have to hand it LAfan though kid is probably 13 at the most and he gets people to respond to him seriously. Pure greatness!

Back to the topic at hand kids should be fixed and have it reversed once they are of age. And again I will stand by my statement that it has nothing to do with the media and everything to do with the parent. The parent has complete control of what a kid sees and does if they brainwash them right like the cults do.

Sorry, but when you sit your kid in front of the tv for the tv to raise them, what you think is going to happen? And when you put that kid with many other kids that also had the same up bringing, what you think the result will be?

I do not blame the media, I blame the parents of course. But the media does broadcast things and kids do pick it up. Kids imitate, that is how they learn, when the parents are not there for them to imitate off of, they will imitate off of something else.
You are absolutely correct, but I would definitely include overall Television, and movies. Look at MTV the types of shows and music videos that play, that was just an example, look very closely at the messages that movies even display....Television is brainwashing our youth! who do you think those crappy parents are?, the teenagers that got brainwashed in the first place trying to raise children. It is very scary where this world is heading especially the USA.

Actually 19! You've got to be a female. Because if the childfree bash the other childfree, its usually the women who does it.

TV, Movies, video games, etc are not as restrictive in european countries and certain asian countries. And they do not have high teenage pregnancy like America. So to say its the media is just an excuse that bad parents use.

I have not read this thread, but I would just like to say that teenage birthrates are lower than they have been since 1940 according to page 10 on this link. In 2000 about 48.7 girls ages 15-19 get pregnant per 1000. I also agree with the argument comparing us to Europe? Why does Europe have significantly lower teen birthrates than the US?
