what do you like and not like about it
I like, nothing about it really
One thing I cant stand is hooking up, I mean Why do we call it hooking up?
when it really should be called being promiscuous, unsafe, and immoral

The Media Assault on American Values
The conflict between the media,
personal responsibility and respect for religion.
This Culture and Media Institute Special Report, The Media Assault on American Values, is the second in a series of reports presenting the most important findings of CMI’s major survey of American cultural and moral attitudes, the National Cultural Values Survey. CMI is a division of the Media Research Center, America’s foremost media watchdog.
The first Special Report in this series, America: A Nation in Moral and Spiritual Confusion, summarized the survey’s overall findings. The survey established that Americans overwhelmingly believe that our nation’s moral values are in decline. 74 percent of American adults believe moral values in America are weaker than they were 20 years ago.
The Media Assault on American Values will report the survey’s revelations about how the American public perceives the news and entertainment media, and how the media may be influencing the nation’s social and moral values.

NEW YORK - During a class discussion on adolescence, a high school teacher recently asked her students whether they go on dates. We don’t “date,” the 12th graders reported. We “hook up.”
If you’re in your 40s, “hooking up” might mean catching a friend downtown for lunch. But to people in their teens or 20s, the phrase often means a casual sexual encounter — anything from kissing onwards — with no strings attached.

Hooking up is the rage, but is it healthy?

Carolina Aparicio , a Boston University junior from Los Angeles, met TJ in a Shakespeare class a year and 11 months ago. There was dinner and a movie. He paid. They've been together ever since.
Chloe Nolan , a sophomore from Boston, met Max at a party her freshman year in an old-fashioned, "Hi-my-name-is-Max" introduction -- which was, she emphasizes, all that happened that night. She glows when she talks about him. "I'm hoping he'll spring for Godiva tomorrow," she says. Valentine's Day will be the first anniversary of their first date.
In a culture where young women take pride in having guilt-free sex with partners they barely know, Nolan and Aparicio are rarities. They have genuine boyfriends, not hook ups.
"I don't know anyone else who's in a relationship, do you?" Nolan asks Aparicio. Nope, no one else.
