La Shawn Barber blogs about a conference on “Moral Reconstruction”.
I can’t help but think that those ideas need to be cross pollinated with the the raw ideas of Domestic PNM Theory that are floating out there.

I’m in the “info tech” field as well.

You said: Just go to MySpace and see what is being posted by America’s youth.

Yeah, personal information that can be used for sexual preditors to do what they want to do: target underaged kids. Personal information from the kids with bawdy sexual references, sexual humor, etc.

but have YOU really been around MySpace? Most band sites are clean and there are hundreds of positive, upbeat pages by kids

That’s true and their are hundreds of questionable sites as well. And yes I have been around it, before the media became aware of it. My daughter and her friends are/were on it and my daughter showed me around. I wasn’t exactly pleased and I’m not a prude.

Spam? Ads? News? Oh, you mean porn. Well, sure it is ubiquitous, and shocking, but hardly the number one business. MySpace, for instance, is more profitable. When porn is the darling of Wall Street get back to me.

You have just mixed things up good here. Let’s start with the combined income of all porn sites vs. MySpace and you would see MySpace dwarfed. Next, Wall Street is irrelevant to the world of porn but its not irrelevant to the world hotels. Room order porn generates a lot of revenue for hotels, it’s a reason why they offer it and it is a reason why they don’t want to let it be known how much money is generated. It’s equivalent to hotels not putting alcohol on reciepts for business travelers because they know the biz travelers drink a lot of booze but the companies typically don’t pay for it.

OK, this one really baffles me. I’ve been into podcast for almost two years and although there are many randy amateur talk podcasts out there I don’t see any commercial porno podcasts. Can you provide links to back up this claim?

I make no distinction between audio and video podcasts. Porn makers were the first to make heavy use of video podcasts.

A very much married President of the United States – a liberal and darling of the National Organization of Women – has sexual relations with a girl as young as his own daughter (an employee, no less), in the Oval Office. And nobody thinks much of any of it.

Sexually transmitted diseases abound and nobody seems to care very much. Clearly “safe sex” isn’t being practiced or there wouldn’t be so many unwed mothers – and so many children living in less than optimum environments for healthy mental and physical development. Yes, many of them thrive. Some don’t. Some succumb to the drug culture, robbing us of some of our best and brightest – one such was my beloved godson.

If one accepts that we reap what we sow, we are in a whole lot of trouble here. And certainly the licentious and completely amoral attitudes of far too many Westerners can only help the Islamfascists in their efforts to paint us as the “Great Satan”.

There are days when I’m glad I’m 64 years old and this is one of those days. I very much hope I will have joined my Lord (and hopefully see my beloved David again) before the inevitable deluge occurs.

This threw me for a loop also, but I assumed that Darkstar was talking about video podcasting and not voice podcasting. The porn industry does have a history of being a first to use new technology such as movies, VCRs, Internet..

Stupid photos? Links to lame videos? Really obnoxious, sparkly GIF animations? You obviously refer to puerile content, but have YOU really been around MySpace? Most band sites are clean and there are hundreds of positive, upbeat pages by kids. Check out this one: http://www.myspace.com/bitzofbrin. She’s fourteen years old and she’s one of many kids just like her.

Look at the number one business on the internet.

Look at the first industry to make use of commercial podcasting (porn sites in case you didn’t know).

Immorality is a problem in society. I once was treated shamefully by an old friend who claimed he didn’t need God to be moral as he mocked my religious beliefs and talked to me contemptuously. He has always represented the attitude of the opposition for me: intellectually superior and morally bankrupt. When there is no right and wrong, what does “morality” mean?.

JLP has attacked T.D. Jakes on Jakes’ style of preaching, but I note not Jakes’ substance.

JLP has attacked Fred Price for stating that a former(?) friend of his, a pastor, was wrong for saying that inter-racial marriage was wrong. This occurred years ago. Price then did a year long series concerning racism in the church and how it has divided the body of Christ. Yet, JLP attacked Price for being a race hustler.

JLP has attacked the Black church and prosperity teaching, yet kisses up to Pat Robertson, who in my opinion, shows how money can corrupt the Word. If you don’t like what I state about Robertson, look at his involvement in “blood diamonds” and his defense of Charles Taylor.

JLP talks about letting go of anger, yet when Alvin Williams backed out of one of JLP’s conferences, JLP let fly with a string of insults that was jaw dropping.

On his now defunct radio show, JLP did an interview of David Duke. JLP agreed with Duke’s positions, only saying that Duke’s “problem” was his focus on white people.

If anyone wants to indite the Black church, feel free to do so. But if you don’t do so without inditing the church, in general, you are wrong and you are helping separate the Body of the Church. Just go to MySpace and see what is being posted by America’s youth. Look at the number one business on the internet. Look at the first industry to make use of commercial podcasting (porn sites in case you didn’t know). Then tell me the church, in general, hasn’t failed.

Morality? Ward Connerly? John McWhorter?

Most Blacks left New Orleans.

Most of the things the media first claimed happened in New Orleans and the SuperDome, didn’t happen.

Maybe it’s me, but I see more hatred and darkness from JLP than I see the light of Christ.

Judged by being black, female and having a stripper’s name – must be bad. But after a first impression, most people will give you a chance as an individual.

- Don’t give your daughter a stripper name – Brandi, Candi, Bambi, Tiffany, etc. If you’re not famliar with current stripper names, it may be time for field research.

In fact, I did not make an assumption about your character, but rather evaluated the general run of your comments which quite typically are critical of others. Your words were evaluated, nothing less and nothing more.

So many social liberals eschew religious faith, even though they claim to espouse (selected) religious tenets.

I am afraid that the morality of convenience and the rejection of critical thinking has taken such firm root that only a generation of two of abject failure at life can awaken some segments of our society.

I generally reject Darwinism, but history shows that only fit societies survive.

Basically a park in South Africa was having trouble with rhinos dying. After investigation, it was found out that they were being killed by young male elephants. Long story short the park was out of elephants five yrs earlier and the park was restocked with elephants from another park. The problem was that the transport trucks werent large enough to bring in the full grown male elephants and only brought immature males and females. The young males had no authority figures to keep them in line and show them how to act, so they acted out in a destructive way. The park imported a few giant tuskers to reign in the adolescent males and guess what????? No more rhino killings and everybody in the park coexisted as they should.

It was an AMAZING program and, I think, a lesson the black community could learn from. With nearly 75% of births in the black community in the past ten yrs going to single parent households, it will get worse before it gets better.

Did you get a chance to watch the NBC News Special “Separate but Unequal” last night? It was hosted by Tom Brokaw and focused on issue of race and poverty in Jackson, MS.

For the first time in a while, a liberal news show actually called out many of the issues you speak of. And furthermore, it was refreshing to hear many of the African-American honors students of Jackson, MS talking about morality being the biggest issue facing black America right now. All of the honors students interviewed came from 2-parent families.

At times it read like a script from your blog, and provided factual evidence. Furthermore, there was less focus on blaming whites and more focus on blaming other factors….

Amen, amen, and amen! Glamchild, you hit the nail on the head. Just take a look at many of these mega churches and televised evangelists, most of what they preach is about receiving a “blessing” from God but they have to do something first to get it. You have to give money or pray a certain way to get something from Him.

So even among those blacks who are supposed to be exemplars of morality, it is a false morality. One that is of posturing rather than of any substance. Therefore it is of none effect within the black community. Pretending to be moral is as bad as being immoral. This is why within the black community there is still high rates of immorality even though you have so many blacks who call themselves Christians, attending church regularly, jumping and shouting in so called praise to God.
