Gay Marriage: Get With the Times!?

Just this week, Lady Gaga came out with a new single called: "Born this Way" (Click HERE for lyrics). One of the most controversial songs of this age. Many have compared her to Madonna. One lyric that stood out to me was "A different lover is not a sin." I interpreted the word different meaning the minority or not the norm. It made me think of homosexuals. I think Lady Gaga was trying to say here thast it is ridiculous for religions to make people feel "wrong" for being gay or lesbian. I definately agree with her in that sense. Why can we have inter-racial marriages yet not inter-gender marriages? It is wrong to hold predjudice against people for whom they choose to love. Lady Gaga is definetly being bold by writing this song, she sure has gotten a lot of heat for it, but I admire her for doing so. I think its time we are more accepting and non-judgmental of homosexuals. It is a persons choice of who they be with.

Who Have We Become? PART TWO

I HONESTLY CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING!!!

Right now, the cover story on CNN is about Lindsay Lohan stealing a necklace. (http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/celebrity.news.gossip/02/08/lindsay.lohan.charge/index.html?hpt=T1)

Really?

Who Have We Become?

Today has been a great day because I luckily found a $25 gift card to itunes that I thought I lost! With haste, I checked up on the itunes top a hundred list, and previewed some of the latest hits. Yet, I was really surprised with the songs I found on the list. For example, the list consisted of songs titled: F**k You, I Just Had Sex, What the Hell, F**kin Perfect, Tonight (I'm F**kin You), U Got it Bad, Lie to Me, Porn Star Dancing, and Party and Bulls**t. I wouldn't help but think that these are the most listened to songs in America today. What does that say about us!?

My dad always tells me that using profane language and searing displays a poor vocabulary. My dad and I started talking on the subject, and he brought up some song titles from when he was a kid. For example: Brown Eyed Girl, I Got You (I Feel Good), Blue Suede Shoes, You Make Me Feel So Young, Satisfaction. NONE of these contain ONE swear word! Nor do they express anything negative.

Is it fair to say that Americans have become more "down" over the years and have turned to abhorrent music? Have we lost a magnitude of positivity? Happiness?
