Morals?

I heard sex does have something to do with these pregnancies they go on about.

Seriously, the media I don't think promotes them - very often the media tries to either represent the world, or give people technically what they want to see. Yes, you do see shows with lots of sex/violence, but often when the show/book/whatever is fictional then that is a representation of that characters world which they live in, and shouldn't be taken as what is actually going on, and most people probably shouldn't think that's what actually goes on eiter, although often they actually get close to the mark, no matter how ridiculous it seems sometimes.

The fact is we do live in a world where people take drugs, have sex, drink alcohol and generally do bad things. The media shows that, or maybe uses it to get more readers/viewers, although it wouldn't get more readers if people didn't want to read/watch about that kind of thing . People who idealise these things are just gullible idiots, although occasionally the media might play a part in this, overall it's down to how the individual perceives it, and theor own ideas of it.

The media is often used as a scapegoat that promotes these things, but they were there in the first place, they just put it up for everyone to see.

EDIT: Also, in the past, lives were a lot more private, and the media in general were a lot more reserved. Long before the first political scandals, sex stories and Heat magazine these things probably still went on, but many years ago, private lives were private, whether they were famous or not, and papers/tv didn't report that kid of thing, and general public attitudes at the time were that they didn't discuss these things. You could say they reported "real" news, rather than which celebrity has the saggiest tis and the most celulite. Times have changed, now these kinds of things sell papers, so hey report it, TV and film shows it, and music sings about it, and people discuss it. Generally the world is a lot more open and less inhibited, which in many ways is a good thing.

E2: tagline - it's a loss of inhibition and stuffy old restrictions, not a loss of morals that has happened.

When i think of morals i think of 3rd party perspective and the concequences towards the 3rd party. Being at Uni its very clear that men take advantage of drunk women, do these guys have any morals or am i being a "pussy" as some guy called me the other day.

Quite frankly i think guys that take advantage of women whilst drunk, and guys that constantly cheat on their girlfriends (without valid reason) should be shot in the fucking head (likewise women aswell)

Controversially though, i have been put in that situation 3 times in the past 5 months and have had done nothing. Quite annoyingly after talking to select girls about the situation they say they get drunk to give themselves more confidence and to inevitably get laid. Infact most of them have never had sex sober. Quite frankly i think thats fucking stupid. Im not against drunken sex and im not saying that these guys are (rape-ing raping?) them ...infact im not even sure what im trying to say.

Watch Scrubs and you'll learn some morals

Morals are for babies, gamerz got gunz.

I thought this was gonna be another post about Sony when I read 'morals?'. Who needs morals in this day and age? Look at Bush boy, he hasn't got a single brain cel let alone a morale centre, and he's doing just fine and dandy.

Oblivion lets me be as immoral as I want to be. If somebody looks at me wrong I steal their hat and kill their wife!

Yes the world has lost all it's morals. We just have to wait for the second coming of Jesus to bring the Kingdom of God to those who still have morals. All sinners go to hell.

I think you are joking there, but cannot be quite sure...

Morals are a religious invention to make us feel as if we are superior to animals (who 'don't have them'). Therefore, I obey my own moral code and ignore what anyone else think it should be.

Out of curiousity, why is this in the gaming forum?

It isn't anymore!

United, you are clearly a christian and what is moral to you, will have clear boundaries set by your religious beliefs..

My names not United, never has been . Yes I am a Christian... however one thing that no-one may understand is the fact that to be a christian does NOT (I repeat) NOT mean I am religious. Religion is boring, unapealing, crap and traditional because they dont know how else to live. Its just a lable that people have put on boring old farts who have nothing else better to do. You really think that God, creater of everything is going to be boring? If you where God whould you be?
