The Culture War Continues, MTV is out to destroy what is left of traditional American values.

I believe people should have the freedom to make decisions about moral issues that affect their lives. I’m not going to tell you that you have to do this or have to do that. As long as it doesn’t trample on my rights, the choice is yours to make. Now does that mean I’m going to keep how I feel about these issues a secret? No way. I’ll tell you what I think, and you can decide for yourself. That’s usually how it goes.

It goes that way with smoking for instance. I’ll tell you that I don’t think you should smoke. It causes lung cancer, it’s not healthy, and in my opinion you shouldn’t do it. I’m not going to call for laws to be made to keep you from doing it though.

The same can be said for irresponsible casual sex. I think you’re an idiot if you are just sleeping around for the fun of it. It shows a lack of respect for yourself and for whoever you’re sleeping with. I personally think sex was intended for marriage and I think you’ll be happier in the long run if you would save it for marriage. Does that mean I want anyone to come in and make you behave this way or that? Absolutely not, that’s your decision. I felt it necessary to preface what I’m about to say, with what I just said.

We have a real problem in our country. I don’t envy parents right now. I’m not one yet, but I know that if and when I do have kids, it’s going to take a lot of work to protect them from the forces of immorality at work in our culture. One of the biggest offenders in this culture war is MTV. MTV in case you haven’t watched it since the 1980’s is not a channel featuring music videos anymore. It’s a channel with all sorts of raunchy programming. For years now it has featured programs that push sexual promiscuity. These programs target pre-teens and teenagers. Programs like Laguna Beach, Undressed, and others. (If you’re not familiar with these programs and your kids watch them, you might listen up!) This is nothing new, this network has been pushing irresponsible, recreational, casual sex for years. I would highly advise parents to lock out MTV on their televisions.

(The MTV Music Video awards just aired, and if you want a perfect example of what this network stands for all you have to do is look at the filth that aired during that show. Including Brittney Spears running around in lingerie and suggestively dancing with men and women, plus overtly crass sexual jokes by comedian Sarah Silverman. Mind you, this is a television network that targets kids. Did you know the awards show even made big press? It made headlines talking about Brittney Spears possibly ruining her career. Not because she was dancing around in scantily clad clothing practically having sex on stage, no that is perfectly fine. It was because she was overweight while doing so. How sick and shallow has the media and Hollywood and all of the entertainment industry become?)

If any of what I’ve talked about in regards to MTV wasn’t enough, now they’ve gone a step farther. They’re now behind a new show that will be airing on the network promoting bi-sexual dating. Click here to read about it. I started doing some research and found out that MTV is the company that owns and operates another television network “LOGO” which is a gay and lesbian television channel. They also happen to own and operate Nickelodeon. Is anyone else a little suspicious about a corporation that produces such filth also operating a children’s network? I’d be putting the channel lock feature on LOGO, MTV, and Nickelodeon if I were you folks.

Now I’m not calling for censorship, or for these networks to be forced off the air. (Although I’d certainly like obscenity laws to be looked at very hard when it comes to these networks.) I’m merely writing all this to tell you how I feel about it, and to make parents aware of the kind of filth on basic cable television. It’s very easy to not police the television, and I think that it’s a huge job parents need to do! Kids are bombarded with sexual images and perverted messages, and that doesn’t even address the violence, bad language, and other questionable material that families are subject to all of the time. This world is not a friendly place. It may have been back in the 1950’s but it’s not now. In fact, it’s worse than ever.
