As far as you saying I am putting my opinion in a fact, not true. I am telling you whjat girls have said, not what I think they said. And I never said teens were stupid, just that the bar has been lowered(you know it too) and so therefore it is not news to be reported now.

Although this happened a few years ago,tell me what you think of this.
When Pastor Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual politically correct
generalities. But, what they heard instead was a stirring prayer,
passionately calling our country to repentance and righteousness. The
response was immediate-a number of legislators walked out during the
prayer. In six short weeks, Central Christian Church logged more than
5,000 phone calls, with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.
Commentator Paul Harvey aired the prayer on the radio and received a
larger response to this program than any other program he has ever aired.
Here is the prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness and seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe on those who call evil good, 'but that's exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values. We
confess that: We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism. We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism. We have endorsed perversion and called it an
alternative lifestyle. We have exploited the poor and called it the
lottery. We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it
justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem. We have abused power and called it political
savvy. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it
ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and
called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us O God. and know our hearts today-cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been ordained by you to govern this great state. Grant them the wisdom to
rule, and may their decisions direct us to the center of Your will.
I ask it in the name of Your Son, the Living Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Central Christian Church is now receiving international requests from
India, Africa and Korea for copies of this prayer.
