I'm not sure if anyone reads these comments, but i do. I just have a couple things to say. I'm 24. I grew up in the 90's (in Toronto), watching just as much television as the next kid. Listening to the same popular music, being exposed to the same world that these "young people" some of you are referring to, are exposed to.
I read a few of these comments and I could never understand why people pin the blame on violent games, or hip hop music, mtv or the internet. First of all, whatever happens on tv with celebrities and athletes, doesn't represent the real youth in society.
Most young people who are trying to get through college or find jobs, don't have the same attention seeking disorder. They don't feel that the world owes them a debt because of MTV. Anyone who feels that way wasn't raised properly. They weren't taught that rewards comes with hard work, and hard work alone.
And how can any one generation compare themselves to another generation? The youth that rebelled in the 60's are the people creating the rules today.
There has and (seems like) there will always be drug abuse, violence, uncivilized behavior in the media... In the end, every single person is on their own. They have to experience the world around them, and make decisions.
i like the song in the background.. man on the moon - kid cudi!
