Well, look at who some of the role models for young people are today....
Examples:
Britney Spears, a confused woman who can't even remember to put on her underwear before leaving her house for the day.
Michael Vick, an idiot who gave up a promising professional sports career because he loved torturing and killing dogs too much.
Paris Hilton, another very confused and spoiled young woman with a lot of issues and a lot of pornographic home
videos floating around.
various rap stars with their associated criminal records and antisocial behavior.
America has set the moral standards bar pretty damn low.
BTW, for those of you who don't know what a slim jim is, he's not talking about the dried jerky that you can buy in most convenience stores, but a slim piece of metal with a notch in the end that is designed to unlock car doors without a key. Usually about 3/4-1" wide and two feet long... and mere possession of one is often considered a crime.
Looks like this:

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
