This morning on Fox and Friends they showed a survey that I think shows where and why our country and world are in such sad shape.
Apparently, every year around this time in the UK a poll is taken among the children in that region of the world (whose morals, standards, etc are similar to those in the US) to determine what makes them happy and what is important to them. According to British pollster Luton First, a survey of kids under the age of 10 said the best things in the world in order of 1-10 are as follows:
Being a celebrity
Good looks
Being rich
Being healthy
Pop music
Families
Friends
Nice food
Watching films
Heaven/God
OK, in light of the recent news concerning Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton…how much are we actually doing to encourage this sort of mindset?
And not just that, but look at the toys out there. $600 game systems that people are willing to rob and kill over; Bratz dolls that show little girls at an early age what it means to be a slut, and Saturday morning cartoons that should make parents blush.
It did appear though that God managed to rank #1 as the “Most Famous” person in this same study, …although somehow that Jesus made the list at #3. Glad to see that they are developing the next generation of theologians over there! If there is any hope in this, both Jesus and God did finish ahead of #4 David Beckham and the Queen of England at #5.
Who was number 2 you ask: none other than Wayne Rooney! Who is Wayne Rooney you ask…well so did I. He is a forward for the Manchester United Soccer Club in England.
I need some duct tape…I think the head is getting closer to exploding.
