Can we talk about idiot social panic?

So at work today I've been spending all day reading different articles about idiots in various countries panicking that some relatively minor thing is going to destroy their life, rape their children, turn their children into hookers, rape the hookers, and then take their assault rifles and give them to socialist hookers.
AUSTRALIAN BULLSHIT PANIC: So apparently heaps of people over 40 think that the hypersexualized nature of pop music and billboards and shit is going to turn their little girls into whores. Nevermind that girls putting on makeup and pretending to be ladies (nowadays generally quite slutty ladies) has been going on forever. Because a whole bunch of 18-21 year olds think that when you go out to the club you gotta look like Fergie or something means they are just going to fuck a whole bunch of random guys and die of an STD? They are going to start doing it when they are FOURTEEN?
Honestly though I think most of the people on this board grew up watching an endless parade of pop stars gyrating constantly. Is Lady Gaga really any worse? Is she really going to destroy the minds of little girls everywhere?
AMERICAN BULLSHIT PANIC: Okay well the whole tea party thing is just crazy. People somehow hate big banks and think Obama is a communist and that the communists and the big banks are somehow in league? Does this make any sense?
AUSTRALIAN BULLSHIT PANIC #2: The internet and electronic media in general. This is basically the product of people who are in charge being afraid of technology they do not understand. Porn will destroy children. Video games will destroy children. Videogames and porn together will destroy society.
In summation: the socially conservative are terrible.

You can also find me on Twitter if you want to be inundated with my horrid opinions off the forums, too!
it's conditioned into them after all the spiders and whatnot
also lurker every time you post I smile
if you don't know shit about shit you're not going to worry about it
but once you see it on the news and EXPERTS and stuff are being asked about it (read: the "experts" are the only people who give a fuck on the topic being discussed)
oh noooooooooooo my precious babies
this, too
that whole thing about people over 40 thinking that the media is going to turn 14 year olds into sluts even though 14 year olds have been dressing like sluts since the beginning of time
that whole thing
the way 40 year olds NOW are thinking
that's been happening since the beginning of time
Australian Bullshit Panic #2 is definitely happening here, but there are indications of it occurring in other countries currently and in the near future too.
The sexualization of kids thing: People don't want to acknowledge that their children will one day be sexually active in this age of relatively open discussion of the topic.
Tea baggers: basically fear that white people don't control the country.
and people being afraid of technology they don't understand.
that is both global and not even specific to something that is happening now, it is always happening and probably will always happen
because pretty much everything they say is either easily proven wrong by the outside world or by their own statements that contradict other ones kind of like religion lol
also gaga destroying modern civilization would be p owny

because that's a pretty funny social panic
oh man
I want to make a blanket fort RIGHT NOW

satan, check this wishlist's rims out
Have you even looked at youtube in the last two years
news sources carrying stories like that (____ will kill your children/destroy society) isn't idiotic at all, provided they're privately owned
it's presumably going to make them money. they don't have to believe what they're reporting.
which isn't to say i love the fact that this crap gets spread like this, but really, what are you going to do, institute a ban on reorting that seems to cater to old, socially conservative white folks? that kind of coverage will stick around as long as there's a market for it.
Idgi, is this a dig at me? Because I was a kid not that long ago, comparatively speaking, and I still remember those years pretty well.
it's also a fake one
oh yea!
jeeze if that was real I would have felt real bad for you guys
well, more than I do now, anyway
Pretty sure my lounge room will always look like this when I'm older
best post on the subject
