Ann- hold on to your clothes...as I am about to TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!

This is a question I like to ask when someone says that something bad= something bad, like violent shows/video games = violent people.....

Does that mean watching nothing but really talented people sing/play sports/ act = you being able to sing/play sports/act really well? No way! Or, I would be a REALLY talented singer, and trust me, my dog howls better than I sing. (And, I have watched alot of tennis, world cup, etc., and I just ain't that good).

So, why is the converse true, that violent shows/video games = violent kids????? It is your upbringing, your moral values, your parents or lack of, your discipline, or lack of...and, face it, being odd/different is WAY more acceptable today than it was even 50 years ago (no, I wasn't born then).

As to nudity/separate bathrooms, shower curtains being non see through??? WHAT?????? Come on people! Seriously? Nudity does not equal sex. The American people have a big 'ole hang up on the human body, and we pay for it in the strange obsessions we pass on to our children.

Funny, but true story. This weekend, there was a little street fair in a well to do community. The lines for the bathroom at Starbucks (my fave coffee place) were riduculously long for the women's, of course. The mens? No lines, no waiting. I walked passed FOUR women, and had one lady say, "we are in line" . I said, 'for the men's?" SHOCK/DISMAY "Oh, no"...so, in I went. Guess what? IT HAS THE SAME STUFF IN IT THAT THE FEMALE BATHROOM DOES! That is just plain absurd crazy stuff. Do you maintain separate restrooms at home????? UGHH...
