Sexualisation of Youth

The petition is entitled stop corruption of young minds from the easy availablity and accessibility of pornography/sexualisation of youngsters in teenage magazines and the explanatory notes say
"Tony Blair don't you care (about the state of our nation)? This question has gone round and round in my mind since I witnessed a protest in London about children and how as a nation we are letting them down. In time the results of this gross betrayal of our youngsters will be all too evident, but too late! The need for change from some of the traditional methods of dealing with youngsters was obvious, but values such as manners, social etiquette and respectful discipline, which have all been undermined in some way by liberalists, need to be reintroduced if we are to change the moral abyss that permeates our society at the moment."

Where's that Plato quote I quoted yesterday?
"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?"

Fascinating leap in this petition from the availability and accessibility of pornography and the sexualixation of youth to manners, social etiquette and respectful discipline being undermined by "liberalists". Oh, and a moral abyss permeating our society? Gosh. That sounds scary. You'd have thought I'd have noticed something like that ...
