You're right. Morals are going the wayside. *shrugs* My opinion - go with the flow & be yourself. Do what you feel is right, and if the rest of the world frowns on it, then they can jump off the nearest bridge with all of their cronies. I have always been what everyone called a "free spirit" - I do my own thing. My morals may or may not correspond with what you or anyone else consider to be RIGHT or PROPER, but if I believe what I'm doing is right, then I'm going to do it.

I think that basing advertising on sex images & mostly naked models is wrong, but if you go to Europe, they consider nudity to be a natural thing, not something bad or wrong. *shrugs* It's all a matter of perspective & individual choice. It boils down to making the right decision. That comes from being influenced by people who think logically and can provide a good example to follow. I am fully aware that I am not a good role model & I will never pretend to be. However, the bigger half of the equation to making the right decision comes from having the courage to actually do what you think is right, regardless of the people around you.

(Yes, me and my soap box are well acquainted!!) This is actually a topic I feel very highly about. I came from a very conservative Christian family who believe that if you step outside of the lines at all, Hell is your destiny. Premarital sex, homosexuality, drugs, cursing, etc are all one-way tickets to the hot spot. I do not believe that way. My views are very liberal, and as such I can be very annoying when people try to condemn others... *shrugs* Okay... shutting up now!
