How has American society become so confused and contradictory towards itself? Here is a sign that everything is spiraling towards an inevitable conservative onslaught of right winged Christianity shoved down the throat of teenage girls: Stephanie Rosenbloom's article in today's New York Times, Thursday Styles section (don't ask). I remember when the word slut was almost as harsh a slur towards a woman as the "C-word". And throughout my life, dealing with women, either my sisters, my mother, girlfriends, my experience has taught me that these two words are not ones you can just cast about and expect everything to be ok within five minutes. Has society dipped into a region where nothing is taboo, where there are no moral limits, no inclination of decency? Yeah I know I sound like a Born Again Christian freak, but I am making no claim that God has any say in what women should wear or how they should behave, nor does the government, nor do I, and nor should our schools. Hey, I love seeing half naked women on the street, but what bothers me is the age at which women are dressing like this, and becoming sexually active. Our culture is perverse and regressing towards primal times. It will have lasting effects upon the health of the society if the taboo becomes the unabashed norm. The show Sex and the City was horrendous for what it does to young women, it is great because all of the characters were career driven independent women, living in the greatest city in the world, but they were all sluts. And the show promoted promiscuity without once alluding to the fact that these women were still single and in their forties because they had a penchant for sleeping around and dressing like hookers.

What am I talking about. I sound like a Nazi.

To make myself seem even further like a National Socialist:

Can someone explain to me what right Israel has to just go out and start a war without consulting the world community, who do they think they are, the USA?
