C-flat: I have eight kids (ages 32 to fifteen), here in the USA, and have raised kids in the seventies, eighties, nineties, etc. I have three grandkids. What is amazing is how conservative these kids become when they become parents. Their are many, many more youngsters who aren't sexually active, using drugs/alcohol, and are fine people. I don't thimk that we can complain too much about how demeaning pop culture can be, rather its cheap popular music, MTV, demeaning sexuality, glamourizing alcohol/drugs. IMHO, we've both dumbed-down our standards, and we have falsely elevated pop culture.
