So I’m listening in the background as my 14 year old daughter watches Miley 
Cyrus in some movie she made a few years ago.  She and her handsome boyfriend 
are having an argument (on the beach at sunset).  She really wants to get 
something resolved but suddenly her boyfriend just grabs her face and gives her 
a forceful kiss, which, you guessed it, she succumbs to.

So, let's see...what does this teach us?  

Boys: instead of trying to think things through with your girlfriend, just use 
force
Girls:  don't expect too much from your boyfriend, just go with it

Maybe instead of violence and nudity ratings, there should be some other kind 
of movie rating system - one that evaluates the subtle messages movies convey 
to our children.

Okay, okay, time to relax, get off my high horse and get back to work.  What a 
fuddy-duddy father I am...
