Common Courtesy

Pet peeve#2...rudeness and thoughtless behavior ........ Emily Post is long gone, and politeness seems old-fashioned...but common courtesy and good manners, such a simple "thank you" or "please" are the threads that make up the tapestry of a civilized society.

Trash TV: Exploitation of Young Girls

Sex sells AKA Trash TV.....let's be honest, we all watch one or more of these so-called entertainments but some go too far in matters of immorality, and one of the top ten, (in my opinion) is devoted to the misdeeds of a family who has an obsession with one letter of the alphabet in their names. The matriarch has no problem with the exploitation of her daughters. A younger one is 14 and since she is an "aspiring model" two of her older sisters posted pictures of her, in very poor taste considering her age, taken during a photo shoot at the beach. The message to all the young girls who watch this trash seems to be.....its O.K. to look like a hooker and if that gets you publicity great! Oy vey!
