What really annoys me is that people these days try to act like you're wrong if you try to pass your moral values on to your kids. If you're not at all religious or do not have any kind of cultural background that includes a preset list of morals, then obviously you're going to take the route of "morality is subjective, and it's up to each person to decide what's right and wrong." Well, that's fine and dandy if that's how you want to raise your kids, but please don't bust down my door and tell me I'm a horrible person if I tell my kids they shouldn't *********e. It's we're back in the Victorian prude era but with the shoe on the other foot. All this nonsense needs to stop IMO.
While we can't really force moral values onto other people, we are at least entitled to pass them onto our kids. And the problem right now, is that our kids are constantly being bombarded by all forms of media, telling them ideas of right and wrong that you probably don't share. I think now it's more important then ever to make sure you know what's going into your kids' heads, because if there are things in there that you didn't want when you decided to be a parent, it's your responsibility to talk to your kids about it. Personally, I say screw "every person must find their own moral code." If they're my kids, I'm going to pass my values on to them.
Bah. This topic is getting seriously derailed. It all started with whether or not Transformers is appropriate for kids, and it's probably going to turn into a very heated morality debate, and I absolutely loathe those, because they seem to bring out everyone's nastiest personality traits. I'll be leaving now... *sneaks out the back door*
