10. I can't stand "Criminal Minds."

There's some really perverted shit on that show.

I know that disturbed people will think of disturbed things to do to other people, but what about people on the edge? If they watch this kind of crap, can it push them into it? Is it possible, even, that it ignites something inside of some, a desire, a curiosity to try what they are seeing on TV? Most people say that they are not influenced by what they see on TV, but when certain values/actions are portrayed over & over again, it becomes acceptable.

I remember how teenage boys acted & how they treated girls when I was in high school & from what I read today, we are going backwards at an alarming rate. The kind of touching & harassment that is now commonplace, wasn't when I was a kid.
