What about the differences between Islam and Christianity. Anything from the media that Islam requires good works to get to heaven and that certain bad works can only be balanced to the positive by martyrdom.

This eye-opening video offers an astonishing examination into the effects of Movies, TV, News Journalism, Music, Video Games and Cyberspace on today’s society. Is the entertainment industry largely responsible for society’s declining morals and loss of traditional values? Do we need to be concerned about the shocking rise in media inspired crimes of sex and violence? Are we being entertained to death by multi-billion dollar media conglomerates?

- Now the reasons I say this long introduction is I had a realisation the other day that the reason some of us get into messes is the stuff we watch. You see we imitate what we feed ourselves on.

Now college presidents from across the United States are calling upon lawmakers to rethink and consider lowering the drinking age to 18. These officials believe that current laws actually promote binge drinking.
