Give me a break!!!

The past few days the Morning Show has covered some things that have me sitting here shaking my head in disbelief.

Sex Addicts???????

You gotta be kiddin me!!!! Sounds to me like a good excuse to justify some people's normal behavior.

High heels on children????

I kid you not. Six and 7 year olds wearing high heeled shoes. Argghhhhh!!!! :arg!

What in the world ever happened to good old common sense?

What are your thoughts?

Common sense and respect, i've been wondering that too.

My thought on a 7 year old wearing high heels..hmmm,

the young boys, and pedifiles out there will be very pleased with these mothers that allow this. Its like dangling a T-Bone steak in front of a Lion , and saying ...you can look , and even enjoy, but dont touch. what 7 year old has the knowledge or confidence to avoid sexual remarks, whisteling, the "wrong" attention she will get. How would a 7 year old girl ecape the hold of a 12 or 13 or 20 year old man? Sex addiction...is an excuse for not having control over an addiction . addiction or not its wrong. and it offends me.

sorry, thats how I feel

little girls dressed up like barbies makes me want to vomit, curled hair, lipstick , just sick

little girls in spelling bees, or playing with barbies , or making pies out of mud , and playing with ponys...suits me just fine. women worked for years to gain equality...lets keep the equality going , we have brains, good judgement , we are strong, soft, rational , sympathetic people , not just a body without a brain.

It has been going on for years sadly.

But then, I personally think, parents that dress their small children up as an adult women... have a screw loose somewhere.

I agree common sense, respect and consequences are no longer around.

Those 7 year olds, will wonder why their mother allowed them to wear heels when knowing they would have problems with their feet and legs in the future. Hope just another fad.

My step-daughter claims she's a sex addict- I think her mother needs to give her some rules and maybe put her on a leash.. or a chastity belt.

As for high heels on young girls. Just wrong. They need a chance to let their bodies grow normally before they subject their feet and legs into an unnatural tip-toe position. Plus, little girls should NOT look "sexy". They need to be little girls.

Common sense, manners and respect ALL out the window. There was a poll done asking if todays children were spoiled and had no manners , 87% of parents stated that children were rotten. Of course they wouldnt think that their own children were part of that 87% LOL People no longer think that they are a cause of their problems, its a disease, its a sickness its someone elses fault.

Drs dont seem to help, saying oh its not your fault its the food, its the drug its this its that grrrrrr

Well just like violence on TV and the movies has no effect on crime. ARE THEY NUTS!!! Sex is also all over prime time TV. Most movies have nudity and sex to get an R rating. Sex is no big deal and not private any more. If I act badly and am a "DOG" and have sex with anyone that wants it. It isn't my fault. I got addicted. Just like drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. It just isn't my fault. YEAH RIGHT!!! What about good old fashioned accountability?

And little girls, seven year olds wearing high heels. This can not only lead to feet and leg problems. It also causes back problems. They showed what high heels do to your back and pelvis on the show "The Dr's".

I don't watch the Morning Show, but have heard of sex addicts before. I always have a hard time thinking of 'addict' in reference to anything that doesn't involve some chemical dependency....nicotine, heroine, cocaine--those kind of addictions I can believe in, but addictions to sex, or gambling I don't see as true addictions...always seems more like a lack of common sense/self control.

For sure common sense is dead...long ago buried in fact...I see evidence of that almost daily! Respect is something that few have for others any more--there is no respect for other people, nor for other people's property, and some people don't even have respect for themselves.

When I was 6 or 7 years old we would play dress up, wearing our mothers' high heel shoes (not that they were usually all that high "back then"

) and dresses...all of which were too big for us. I don't think any of us kids would have thought of or even wanted "heels" of our own--that wasn't the in thing back then.

Idiocy and lack of common sense are hardly new. Every generation bemoans the fall of civilization as proven by what they see amongst those younger than they.

As for "diseases," it is a bit pathetic that everything seems to be labelled as a disease or condition. However, for someone to say they suffer from a "disease" tells me that they recognize that their actions are wrong and wish to change (even if they are denying responsibility). I'd have to say I prefer this to those such as NAMBLA who insist their abhorrent acts are perfectly normal.

While not an excuse many who act out sexually or many so called "sex addicts" are often dealing with childhood sexual abuse it can be a vicious cycle that one feels the only worth they have is as a sexual object.

I think the saddest part of all of it is we as a society forget or simply do not want to acknowledge that statistics show anywhere from 15 to 25 percent of all women and 5 to 15 percent of all men are sexually abused as children. OFten it goes unreported and the abuse goes on for years and more often then not from a trusted family member or friend of family which of course blurs the line of right and wrong and what is love.

Not everyone who is abused becomes inappropriate but it is not uncommon and we as a country need to address this issue.

While we talk about it more now - I think somehow a bit more knowledge on the part of our kids doesnt always give them more power but sure leads to alot more guilt. All of this IMO does relate to children sexualizing themselves earlier and people becoming "sex addicts" if that is the term you want to use.

No easy fix and an excuse some use for sure but there is also some real issues that go along with acting out in that manner.
