This is a great thread Leslie.
I think it's the same old story. Each generation finds a reason to "worry" about those who follow. Youth always have a way of shocking society. Elvis moved his hips and caused panic. The Beatles were an outrage. When heavy metal hit, some said it was the devil. There is even an idiot in another forum that thinks we (Greeks) are involved in cults. Kids have been killing kids throughout history. Is it bad today? Yes, it is. Is it really any different than 20 years ago? I don't think so. Perhaps it is different than 50 years ago. Do I worry about it? No! I tend not to worry about things I cannot control. All I can do is make sure I'm not involved in the stupidity, be aware of the dangers, and hope that when I have children, I can raise them in a manner that they learn the value of life and the difference between right and wrong. OMG, moral absolutes... LOL. Yes, I said, "right and wrong."
