Todays youth versus yesteryears.

Remember watching, Leave it to Beaver, The Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island, Bugs Bunny, The Superheros, Eight is Enough, The Dukes of Hazard? Today kids are watching Sponge Bob, ICarly, Jimmy Neutron, CSI (Miami, Denver, Chicago, LA, MInnesota, Kansas City, and who knows what other names they call it), Heroes. Do you think that they act out according to the shows? If they were to watch only the shows from the older generation, would they act the same or be different. These old shows, I think, taught me to be kind and treat others with respect. I'm sure shows like ICarly does this also, however I feel it's not enough. Sure parents have the most influence, but our younger parents today didn't see those old shows. Just wondering if they did a study on kids for one year to see if this hypothesis would prove true or not. One group of kids could only watch the old shows and the other group could only watch todays. Would each group act different? What are your thoughts?

Glad you are motivated, respectful and uncomfortable with killing but to announce that you are "comfortable with death" tells much about what you understand of the advantages of experience and years. I rest my casenow. Fair thee well.
