The New Norm: A Generation Raised on inappropriate content

[gurneyhalleck1]

When faced with the choice of a colonoscopy done while I'm awake or watching Miley Cyrus in a loop, I say let's get in the car and drive me to the hospital...

I didn't see the Miley Cyrus video (I find her about as appealing as a plate of day-old liver paté---and that goes for her clones, Britney, Lindsay, Paris, et al); all I saw were the still shots on the news feeds, and I was disgusted in the extreme. Nasty.

So, no, I don't find her or her antics arousing, unless it arouses my instinct to vomit copiously.

You got that right. I'd just as soon get a cayenne pepper suppository inserted with a fireplace poker.

 

[Chany]

Anecdotal, of course, but I haven't met anybody who has found that display arousing.

I don't think that's the intended effect. It's meant to shock and provoke for attention.

I had a girlfriend who was raised in such a sheltered way she did not know she had a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. Now I appreciate her innocence, because its been a long time since I've seen it last. I first saw inappropriate content when I was about twelve or thirteen. Most of the people I work with under 40 are at least occasional consumers.

I sorry but

TMI

Maybe TMI, but I don't sedate for a colonoscopy...and much prefer it to watching Miley.

I think Charlie was referring to the information of an ex-gf's lack of education concerning her own [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse].

She never took a health class or an anatomy class?

I hope you're not saying it's ok to be an occasional inappropriate content consumer? BTW, I include Playboy and Cosmo as inappropriate content.

 

[Michie]

Yeah there are better ways to learn than propping inappropriate content as a learning tool.

 

[Miss Shelby]

I've read up a fair bit on this, and indications are that kids today, while exposed to inappropriate content in greater ammounts than previous generations, are bored with it. I forget where I found the study, but there is information out there that indicates that 30-70 year olds are more likely to suffer from "inappropriate content addiction" than the generation that grew up with internet inappropriate content at their fingertips 24/7.

Nothing works like desensitization.

Hmm. 30 - 70 is a big span. What ages does the other group cover? A lot of people are living with parents or roommates until they are 25 or so, which may put a bit of a damper on excessive inappropriate content use, if they are including teens especially.

It's funny, but I just saw Charlie's email. I was responding to Guerney...

Ok.

 

[Imperiuz]

While inappropriate content is horrible, I do think that the root of this problem is the popularization of masturbation, not inappropriate content by itself. inappropriate content just adds fuel to perverted thoughts that are already there - masturbation is what causes the addiction.

From experience, parents and roommates are not impediments to teenager's inappropriate content use.

Masturbation has been here since the dawn of time. It's just not looked at as a secret now. It's much more multifaceted than an either/or situation.

Well, I don't think they stop it. But it adds some restrictions to where and when you can do it. A bit like cutting down on a person's smoking by making more areas non-smoking. You can't come home from work and do your thing all evening in the living room .

 

[Root of Jesse]

Ok.

Sorry, not email...post...

 

[Michie]

Sorry, not email...post...

I thought that is what you meant.

 

[WarriorAngel]

I've read about this too in articles very sad... it starts out really bad and then gets more and more perverted.



I agree that there's a desensitization in our culture. A few decades ago, if someone showed people kissing that was a big deal. Now, we're shown all these immoral things and no one cares. HMMM...

I think it's better to just turn off the tv, not watch any of this garbage, and only watch good things that are actually completely wholesome.

"Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is nigh. Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things." (Philippians 4: 5-8, Douay-Rheims Bible)


We should be horrified at the idea of watching sin!


totally agree!

We dont get satellite anymore.
Do not miss it either.

 

[WarriorAngel]

i have no idea - but the upper channels of the satellite when we did have it - i think were inappropriate content channels.
Have no idea if they were accessible or not - or if you paid for viewing...
But it always made me leery about my kids being home without one of us to watch over their viewing.
