This generation of young adults is better equipped to love and respect all their fellow young adults regardless of sex, race or religious beliefs.

You are right perrjojo, you can influence change by not how you run your mouth, but how you run your life.

perrjojo: Certainly that is one way to view the world today. However point to the "good examples" young people follow today. would that be the Kardashians of the world? How about Whitney Houston Pay close attention to what young people view as their priorities. Why is there a higher percentage of single mothers today given abortion rights, free contraceptives, sex education?. We could go on and on

I opine others can decide.

Could there be good opinions spoken and bad actions in the way you run your life?

I think you are stretching the intent of the quote. I think it means.... Stop complaining and DO something positive!
Of course, that's just my OPINION.

Certainly. and I also like this quote.


"It is not what you TELL your children that they will become, It is what you ARE that they will become."

I feel certain that while you opine, you also project a good example.

We can be Knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom. ~Michel de Montaigne


Wisdom begins at the end. ~Daniel Webster


Patience is the companion of wisdom. ~St. Augustine


Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk. ~Doug Larson


Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it. ~David Star Jordan, The Philosophy of Despair


He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study and hard work may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty. ~Mary Wilson Little


Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. ~Tom Wilson

one thing for certain that has changed is the advances in technology have altered what and how we see the world......communications.

The advent of 24/7 instant, happening now news, sports, events, etc. reporting.

Unfortunate side effects:
> it is it is the only input for far too many people.

> those with the money control the messaging whether it is entertainment, news or politics.

> there is no requirement for anything to be true to be reported.

> the credo of if it bleeds it leads affects both news and entertainment, with emphasis on the good relegated to a secondary position.

In closing if I may....just watching the evening national news...any one of the alphabet networks....they spend 29 minutes highlighting the most recent atrocities of man VS man.....natures devastation.....etc....and usually one minute at the end of the broadcast of something truly warm and wonderful.

I for one believe the priorities are skewed in the wrong direction.......however the media will only proclaim they provide what the audience want to see/hear most.....which I personally do not believe or accept.
