Justified or Incarcerated

Recently I had a conversation with my wife about the media and the influence of it.  Let's face it, every young adult has an Facebook account.  Facebook statistics show that it has more then 800 million active users.  But is there a different between parents and children generation in media?  Children were born to use Facebook, it came naturally; parents were forced to use Facebook, and it came with pain when learning was done.  But the question remains to be answered, is the media a good thing or a bad thing?  Here's some facts from Parent Further website about children exposure to media:    "According to a study conducted by the National Institute on Media and Family , children spend more time sitting in front of electronic screens than doing any other activity besides sleeping. 1 Kids’ excessive screen time comes with all kinds of hazards: lack of physical activity, exposure to adult themes and content, and lack of interaction with f...

Gary Thomas writes a short story of a marriage relationship in his book that is worth reposting.

Male scorn for women affects every aspect of our lives: our relations with our mothers, our girlfriends, our secretaries, our wives, our children, the church, and even God himself.  I do not speak here merely of yours corn of women; I speak of mine as well. My relatives grew up on the streets during the Depression, learning early the fury and scorn that characterize so many people in dire circumstances: drinking heavily and seeing women alternat...
