Well, this is the reason why the Muslim world hates America. .
What?
You know I can't even count the on both hands the number of people who have no idea what they are talking about in this thread. If you cant figure out who they
are, then you are probably one of them.
Elvis was immoral and rebellic fiftyfive years ago,so it's not exactly a new thing.
What was considered rebellious then is very tame, and cheesy now.
Were the previous generations really that sheltered?

I can't think of anything that divides more than religion.
I wouldn't blame religion entirely, it's the people that ruin it for everyone. Christianity was intended to be used as a tool to teach moral guidance, although it's crude at the time it was written compared to now... where it should be common sense to just do the right thing.
People can skew religion to fit their own selfish purposes, churches do it too. And it's not just Christians. Catholics, Muslims, Mormons, Baptists, and even the outright obvious scams of a certain Hollywood centered religion. Sure there are a few that actually go out and do good, but they are very, VERY rare. People take religion out of context to the point of justifying cold, blooded, murder.

Well, this is the reason why the Muslim world hates America. When I was a kid in the early 90's, Snoop Doggy Dogg was our idol. We were only ten years old listening to a former L.A. Crip member ex-felon, who was accused of first degree murder at the time, spit rhymes about sexing hoes, drinking liquor, smoking weed and shooting people. Jay-Z, one of the richest men in America, got rich rhyming stories about being a big-time NYC drug dealer and degrading women to an obscene footnote. Hip Hop, in itself, was an extremely low-budget movement that reflected the harsh socially disorganized and impoverished conditions of African American inner cities across the country in the post-Civil Rights era of Reaganomics, stagnant wages, de-industrialization of our manufacturing cities, sharp recessions every decade and the advent of crack cocaine.
America's entertainment is toxic in many different forms as well. America is the world's number one producer of pornography; another shameless all-American past-time that has engulfed the nation in the internet age. People like Jenna Jameson and Ron Jeremy would not be famous in a Muslim country. If anything, all of this signifies that America has been in decline for quiet some time now. Our perversions are no different than the gluttony, sloth and excess of ancient Rome right before their civilization collapsed into flames.
This the best post I have seen in a while. Very well said.
It's the same here in England. There is very little real talent, so they've got to sell their
sleazy magazines so they fill them with the talentless idiots from soaps and reality TV shows.
I walk past
Sorry about that, as I was saying! I walk past the magazine racks full of the doings of these
so called stars. There is one in particular, who has managed to parlay a TV reality show win
into years of Magazine coverage of marriages, children by different fathers, drunken behaviour, so called book writing and records, into much riches. I have even heard young
girls talking about her in admiring tones. We sure have fallen a long way with the behaviour
of stars, who once upon a time were expected to set some sort of behaviour standard for
the young, at least for public consumption.
