Earlier, I was sitting around shooting the breeze with a buddy who is a year older than me, and graduated from the same high school. While he is more of a “metro-billy,’ we still share many hard-core right values and beliefs. We were discussing the pit falls of, what I call, ” I.I. or “Instant Info.” Especially as it relates to the easy access of porn.
When we were in jr and sr high, we always joked about how we stayed up late the night before to watch Benny Hill in hopes of catching a quick view of a lady’s fun-bags. Sometimes we hit the jack pot when and old copy of Playboy was found in the school’s parking lot. My, how times have changed. Kids getting caught during the school day viewing porn on their phones. I don’t even want to think about what these kids say on social media sites, or what they do with pictures of themselves. Why I am no supporter of Islam, I can understand why many of theses Muslims consider our nation the great Satan.
I am so grateful to The Lord that this garbage was controlled during my youth. Yeah, there were the Adult Theaters, but they were always on the bad side of town, and the patrons kept a low profile. Now days, the theaters are in pockets and purses. The predatory pedophiles roam the net, and the streets, almost unnoticed.
I person can spend a lifetime trying to explain how this has ripped apart, and destroyed the moral fabric of our nation. But It will not change the fact that kids are under assault from this crap. I.I. has its pit falls. I feel sorry that many kids are not given the chance to be kids for a much longer period of time. So here is a big thanks to I.I., and the folks who abuse such a wonderful tool.
As always, God was right: There will be a time when Good is called Evil, and Evil is seen as Good. I sure miss my Atari and Pac-Man game days:(

I grew up in a time much like yours that adult information was just that, for adults, we all looked for more information but the best we had was what we found and that was not always good. brings back memories of a magazine I found as a kid, yowza, anyhoo, I am glad I grew up when I did, I really think that the “kids” today learn too fast and that is thanks to the internet and society.

It’s that Hollywood agenda wherein you are a jerk if you respect and enjoy clean and wholesome. It Miami the average six year old already has a vocab that includes crack whore, status hearing, child support, abortion, drive-by, pre-trial intervention, weed, section 8, food stamp card and every possible name for human body parts.

We did not even have those adult theatres growing up.
You’re right – kids these days have lost much of their innocence way too early…
