America and the lowest common denominator: Vulgarity

To be an American is to be a pervert???

The American moral fabric has torn, vulgarity rules.  Half of Americans view pornography on the internet weekly.  Even the clergy of Christian denominations are found pandering and joining prostitutes in seedy hotels or in their leer jets and mansions.  The world is returning to the days of the pagan Roman’s with graphic sexual imagery in advertising and main stream media.

I think the Muslim clerics have it right.  America is a cesspool, and Americans are going to hell.  Only jihad can cleanse America.  The Christians have cold hearts and chase skirts just as often as the unchurched.  41% of children are born out of wedlock.

My son plays Call of Duty, and I listened to the dialog in the portion of the game called “Campaign.”  The “F” word was heard 9 times within 4 minutes of one portion of the game – the characters are all cursing as they come into a combat situation.  This is a 14 year old who commonly uses the F word himself, but this is the norm in American schools.

It appears that the youth are headed to a new low plateau of language, as the suction of the moral substance of America is dying off.  The generations of moral, Christian Americans, those who suffered through the depression, the second world war – the backbone on the society.

The nation is so low as to spend millions of dollars on the worst vulgarity: Hollywood entertainment.  Either movies are filled with extremely graphic violence or filled with sexual innuendos or displays.  What once was kept in the closet is flaunted as the new norm.

One perfect example of this degradation as a culture is the film The Hangover.  But today we’ll just think about the sequel: The Hangover part Two is out and the sickness continues.  America is addicted to black humor of the worst drivel.  I knew it was really bad when x-ear biter, Tyson, showed up in the film.  The first was bad enough, but the soul-less and amoral youth of America demand more – even if the crap is telling jokes, it’s still crap.

One reviewer of the Hangover Two movie writes:

One of the biggest differences between the two films is the sequel’s focus on raunchiness and vulgarity compared to the original. The filmmakers try to top the original but instead of focusing on more clever and original comedy, they simply included more unfunny raunchiness in it along with a lot more male nudity. Once the “Wolfpack” wakes up, the crude humor takes center stage and never lets up.

The moral abyss is deepening, and the youth are driving on the Highway to Hell, but the road is long, and my generation were driving on it 30 years ago and listening to AC/DC, doing drugs, and getting some.

I know as I write this piece that many are laughing and will mock these words, with the who cares attitude, as ironically the internet itself is the largest venues for filth.   The America society of Christian virtue is long gone, and the results are soon to overtake society.  Sexual perversity and eroticism will be part of a society that takes to spending over $400 million on such a stupid movie.  What is the limit?

We should expect that our world turn more and more like that of the collapsing Roman empire.  The sports and violence we watch are like the gladiators and games of old.

In a piece on the web about porn, I found the following comment:

Roman Porn

The actual term “pornography” was first coined when the ancient city of Pompeii (buried in A.D. 79 by the massive eruption of Mt.Vesuvius) was excavated and many sexually graphic paintings and sculptures were found. The ancient Romans (1st century AD) did not perceive this sexy stuff as shameful, and displayed their sexually overt art in conspicuous places. It was not uncommon for a graphic sex scene to be shown right beside a landscape scene. 19th century archeologists were shocked and appalled by this ancient smut and quickly stashed the dirty pictures in order to shelter women, children and the lower classes from corruption. They used the term “pornography” to classify these hoarded artifacts and pictures. In fact, pornography has been suppressed since the notion was created (6).

Pompeii Porn

Why would the world feel that way.  Well it had something to do with the growth of Christianity.  The pagans worshipped idols and had sex with the temple priests and priestesses.  They had orgies of food, women and music.  Doesn’t that sound like what’s occurring today.  The culture today is headed right back to bacchanalian perversion and sin.

I say let them.  Let the rift between the faithful and the damned grow wider and wider, so doomsday will come.  The end of the world will be one fine party for all of them.  Face it, if they don’t value their own souls, then let them run amuck.    The Revelation predicts that one day they will be saying that they wish they were dead.  It also says that the ungodly will kill off the believers.  The darkness can’t stand the light.

Just remember the saved are just as sinful, but you would think they would no better.  But the suction of a world sliding into hell is pulling them down.

Wiki on internet porn

The Internet is an international network and there are currently no international laws regulating pornography; each country deals with Internet pornography differently. Generally, in the United States, if the act depicted in the pornographic content is legal in the jurisdiction that it is being distributed from then the distributor of such content would not be in violation of the law regardless of whether it is accessible in countries where it is illegal. This does not apply to those who access the pornography, however, as they could still be prosecuted under local laws in their country. Due to enforcement problems in anti-pornography laws over the Internet, countries that prohibit or heavily restrict access to pornography have taken other approaches to limit access by their citizens, such as employing content filters.

Many activists and politicians have expressed concern over the easy availability of Internet pornography, especially to minors. This has led to a variety of attempts to restrict children’s access to Internet pornography such as the 1996 Communications Decency Act in the United States. Some companies use an Adult Verification System (AVS) to deny access to pornography by minors. However, most Adult Verification Systems charge fees that are substantially higher than the actual costs of any verification they do (for example, in excess of $10/month) and are really part of a revenue collection scheme where sites encourage users to sign up for an AVS system, and get a percentage of the proceeds in return.

The bandwidth usage of a pornography site is relatively high, and the … Many commercial porn sites exist that allow one to view pornographic …. The NCMEC estimated in 2003 that 20% of all pornography traded over the Internet was child pornography…

The Man Behind the Curtain and Understanding Pictures

I’ve known for a long time that people read different meanings into pictures.  Their perspectives are focused on how they connect to the pictures in front of them. This image I’ve made in Spark, as I was trying to learn how to use the software, seeking meaning in visual expression. But really what do the […]

Is History Funny?

We have all heard the expression “history repeats itself.” And so we also know that human beings have a tendency to forget harmful and even wicked events. We bury them. And once we bury the history, do we forget it? It struck me today that when Jerry Lewis died, people start talking about the film […]

Of Perfecting the Human Genome

What do we do when we’re all physically and mentally perfect? Congratulate ourselves on eradicating the need to help each other?  Shouldn’t everyone fend for themselves?  Is human society evolving or turning neanderthal? It’s always best to start a philosophical piece with questions. How perfect is the human race today?  We still have a world […]
