ditto baby.

morals are very subjective so I don't think we can say morals are declining (unless a poll was taken and a majority of people said they violated their morals)

I think treating people as you want to be treated, being honest, being peaceful, not judging, and being compassionate to everyone is very moral.
(and sadly I have at times failed in these areas)

We all have the right to judge others, but does that make you or others more moral?

I consider myself similar to a comedian. What you see here is part of my "act". I used to be disgusted by Fedupamerican because of what he said about our troops, etc. He still does piss me off, but I view him differently now. First, he is protected to say what he wants under our Constitution. Secondly, I understand it is part of his "act".

I can't take this place too seriously. It is afterall a place of entertainment as well as education.

Miller, I agree that we have freedom of speech but with that freedom comes responsibilty.

Sure does, Rob.

BUT, you can't legislate morality. What is moral/immoral in the eyes of each individual varies.

We would all be better off minding our own business and not worrying so much about others.

Miller, show me where I said anything about legislating morality. This is a personal issue for all of us.

Genital based morality.
