Re: tv, internet, media

ok first, here is one of many links to the story:
http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-us&vid=5bd9fb50-3dfe-442b-8391-8e3c15d5baf1&fg=rss&from=34
It includes video of the milder portions of the beating that the victim endured.
It was announced today that the girls will be charged as adults which means hard time because they are facing felony charges…maybe THAT will wipe the smirks off their faces and stop their jailhouse-talk to the guards about whether they’ll miss cheerleading practice and (giggle giggle) “I guess WE arent going to the beach this weekend”. Hard time will change THAT attitude pretty fast.

Anyway, I really dont understand what it is about the USA. We have columbine, we have THIS. Yet our guns laws I think are a bit stricter than europe and when I was in Pak, almost EVERY house had at least a few firearms. We ALL have internet access, we ALL have TV.

So what IS it?

Lack of values/respect. All kind - religious/cultural and all that you can think of. In search of making life so easy by not having complications of religion and traditions ppl have created a huge hole around them and they are keep digging in it to hide themselve but the sad part is they don’t knw at the end it will bury them and kill them.

Things are getting soo materialist and superficial that many of us don’t eve know where to go and run to when we face such problems. Its every where now, not only in America. America we see more since media is all over to cover every little story and detail compare to the other arts of the world.

I wouldn’t blame 100% to media/internet or tv. I believe strong family/parents are those who teach their kids the difference between the right and wrong using sources like religion and culture and then let their kids go free. If they were taught strongly then no matter where and which part of the world would they go - nothing can harm them as openely n freely as once might believe. If foundation is strong then no matter how many tornados and hurricanes u get hit by - u stand still strong.
