Okay, since my last debate didn't go too good. I decided to do this because this generally makes me upset, even though it's nerdy.
I was watching T.V. the other day and a commercial came on, a commercial that said the word Funner! Funner is not a word and personally I believe that they shouldn't be allowed to say it on a commercial. On some shows okay, but not commercials that are being broadcasted nation wide so that little children can learn how to use improper grammar.
I mean that just shows how dumb we are. We don't even take the time to present good grammar to our own people. A little slip-up here and there is okay like a sentence that ends with a preposition, but funner, really? That's going too far.

It's the media and I have little to no expectations from them anymore. When I started seeing commercials for Trojan vibrators and commercials that have curse words in them and showing way too much graphical content...yea. It just goes to show how downhill things are getting. There used to be a standard, I think, but now it's just ridiculous. Most of the kids I see aren't being taught how to speak properly anyway because their parents don't know how to speak properly.

One person I talked to said that her teacher didn't know how to spell the word write and marked off when she spelled it right. You'd think someone--maybe the moor educated or simply more caring people--would step in to put a stop to it. Surely, someone must hear the cuss words flowing from our children's mouth like that of the water after the dam has broken.

Standards have not just gone down, they have hit rock bottom or at least I hope they have. Still, what's wrong with parents now a days? You'd think that natural part of raising kids would be wanting to protect them, including from the pure stupidity of their own words and actions. To protect people though you have to let them experience some of thee consequences from their action like getting spanked and having their mouth washed out with soap when they use words like b***h and d**k before they're ready to, which is deffinitely not in freakin 2nd grade.

I know what you mean. Have you seen the show Winx Club, that one ust made me so mad. It seems like the Villians wore at least half way sensible outfits while the heroes wore mini skirts so short that you could see their undies with every stray breeze. That's really what we're teaching out children. If you wear sensible clothes you'll be mean and nasty and oh--yeah--no one will like you, but if you wear scandelous clothes belonging more on a street corner instead of school--well--then who wouldn't like you. And with the parents thing. I don't under stand how you could not find it wrong. Think back would your own parents let you talk like that, probably not. then maybe there's some reason to that. Still, it is hard to stick with all of the filth that is bombarding our kids not just from the media but on their way to school to. On high school buses you wouldn't imagine the filth that falls from high schoolers mouths and eventually falls from the 1st graders as well.
