It's like I said on page one. Not that I'm faulting you for it or anything. It's just that some people get older, and harder set in their beliefs while they keep telling themselves that they aren't and that it's media's fault. Then eventually they stop trying and shun all the stuff that annoys them because they tire of fighting it.
The only way to fight that old man inside you is to embrace your sense of humor alongside your beliefs and learn to laugh at yourself, lest you turn into my friends who live in the same area as you. They quit watching TV years ago and won't watch any movie with a political reference or that is rated PG-13. That's called letting your beliefs consume your life.
Heck, remember that episode of Family Guy where Quagmire tries to get death to whack his wife so he can get out of that marriage? I hated that. I found it completely distasteful, then forgot about it an hour later and moved on. Comedy is comedy. As long as you keep laughing, you'll never grow old inside. If you quit laughing, you turn into Glenn Beck. Nobody wants to turn into Glenn Beck.
Nobody.
