yes its sad isnt it? families only have a few hours a nite "what did evry one do today " ? well we have to eat supper then go to bed. good nite every one. Thats what you hear all the time. And the only ones who get to have all the fun in gods world are the rich. Fair huh? & it stays that way. I have 2 jobs. barely home with my kid. I'm gone 11 hours a day. you see that every where today. people have crummy jobs. I cant drive. I lost my license 12 years ago. seizures.. But still, I hear people saying they have 2 jobs to get things to meet. then their never home w/ their family's today. like it was back in the 1940's or 1960's . houses are expensive etc. wars also got to protect the rich people... Neat huh? poor people pay.. ah well ... Life

The article below is very interesting.
America has the highest teenage birth rate of the developed world.
Reasons for lower rates of pregnancy in others countries
-mandatory, medically accurate sexuality education programs that provide comprehensive information and encourage teens to make responsible choices
-easy access to contraception and other forms of reproductive health care, including abortion
-social acceptance of adolescent sexual expression as normal and healthy (ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!)
-straightforward public health media campaigns
-government support for the right of teens to accurate information and confidential services
"Preliminary findings show that in 2003, 414,961 women aged 15–19 gave birth, a rate of 41.7 live births per 1,000 women in this age group. This figure marks a three percent decrease from the 2002 rate and a 33 percent decrease from the 1991 rate. This is a record low birth rate among U.S. teens (Hamilton et al., 2004)."
The abortion rate for teenagers is also decreasing.
Generally, it seems to me America has a big problem... that is slowly being addressed and corrected.
Let's not get started on the weed...

I strongly agree. I've heard that their was a study made saying that, children born after 1991 is more rebellious and stubborn than before. Though in a way I blame the parents; if you don't teach your children right, how on earth are they to know what is right & what is wrong??? Wel, yeah, guess everybody think they knows best...

More and more kids are being raised by daycares and nannies because mom and dad can't keep it together and be a family. We always hear on the news people saying they didn't raise their kids to act like that. You know what they're right they didn't: the babysitter did.

World is searching for love in any form without thinking about it's effects.
A child loves an ICE cream without fear of getting a fever.
A boy loves Disney without realising it's unreal.
A teen loves to follow its instinct without realising effects.
An adult loves money without understanding the effects.
A grownup relishes in its posessions without bothering its effects.
An old person loves sweet without bothering its effects.
Now tell me friend are we all people stupid?.
YES we are and we have to search for answers.
For you to search I can suggest a location www.iskcon.com .

It all comes down to poor or no morals, poor upbrining and bad parents. Yes, ins ome ways the planet is getting worse. We need new laws, and we need all laws to be enforced on every level. maybe even in newer ways.
