You have passed judgement and assumed that people with an opinion that differs from yours is dumb. Mmmm girl scout cookies.

I was motivated to post this topic by witnessing the day before in Academy, a guy wearing two, rather large, rhinestone encrusted earrings his grandmother would be proud of. Funny stuff.

And for me at least, thought provoking.

I understand your view and struggle with judging a book by its cover. I have a 16 year old sister and see some really great kids that fit your descriptions.

I too believe that our culture has become somewhat anti-masculine. You should read Wild At Heart by John Eldredge. The book looks at some of these issues and attempts to answer them from the viewpoint of a Christian man.

Take care and we need to get out to the range!
