If you are implying my post stated that sex is bad, I believe you just want to argue. I will repeat that drug use and sex are glorified on the television and at the movies. This was not the case years ago and it will be interesting to see where society goes from here. I was a flower-child and even lived very close to Haight-Asbury. Yes, there was Woodstock and most of us seem to have survived that. Each generation has their unique traits and many of us remember ours as the generation of "free love" and all. But we also remember growing up, going to college, getting a job, getting married and having children.......in that order. Yes, as we grew beyond smokin, drinking and free sex, we moved beyond the sweetness of youth to grow-up to be responsible persons - holding jobs and raising families. Will that be the same path for the youth of society today? Who knows - certainly not me. But I do worry that more and more youth of our society see life as one big dangerous party. They don't get to see June Cleaver or Ozzie and Harriet types. Their role-models on TV and at the movies portray a life full of drug use, murder and violence. Many teens don't have employment, have mom and dad supporting them and play (often violent) video games all day. If they do have a job, smoking or drinking ON-THE-JOB (as the original op posted) could be a very worrisome sign of bad things to come.
It is clearly different from our generation but who knows what will shake out in the end. I'm old....I worry.
