Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the answer to a question by the winner of Miss Teen USA:
Judge: What does Integrity mean to you?
Miss Montana: Integrity…to me…means…making a goal…and working towards the goal…and staying with the goal…till you reach the end of that goal…thats what integrity means to me.
How are we, as a society, able to produce these types of people…and still find ways to sleep at night?
Today my dad and I went to Subway and asked for a 12" long savory turkey breast sandwich on wheat bread. When we asked if it was actually going to be savory as advertised, the lady (teenager) looked at us funny. She didn’t know what it meant. Then we asked the other employee. Same deal.
a few weeks ago i went to subway and the lady (teenager) was cutting the bread and sliced half way through her thumb. then her and the other lady working there went out back and didn’t come back for 10-15 minutes.
We sleep with visions of Miss Teen USA jumping on a trampoline. Works for me. Better than counting sheep.
LOL niice
i get to sleep by wacking myself in the head with a mallet!
I think most of the country gets to sleep with the aid of something called Tylenol PM.

ahahahaaaha
Me. haha
How are we, as a society, able to produce people who watch that show…and still find wasy to sleep at night? 
You’ve got one point JJuggle (mind if I call you Raphael?).
Fortunately we do not have “miss teen France” contest, but we still have a lot of crappy TV shows (no pun intended but most of those come from the US).
Last week I was watching TV, desperately trying to find something interesting to watch, when I saw a few seconds of “l’île de la tentation” (tentation Island), and I told myself “how can people be so stupid and go to this kind of show, what do they expect from such an “experience”?”
The answer was tough: “they expect stupid people like you (me) to watch them”.
I turned the TV off but It’s so easy to get caught by those bs, people watching the show feel so clever compared with those poor stupid men/women… It’s a good and cheap way to get self satisfied:(
Back to the topic, this contest must be fun to watch: I guess it’s a kind of human robot-fight, 
We, as individuals in society, are able to produce all types of people by … not sleeping at night.
I did not happen to catch the Miss Teen USA competition, but I watch more than my share of crappy TV, so my comment should be taken with grain of salt.
Please, feel free to call me Raphael.
I’ll answer that question in two parts.
Part A: We can produce these people because there’s no license required for having children. We’ve dumbed down society to the point where Darwin can no longer “do his work” and a myriad of stupid people are multiplying like so many rabbits.
Part B: Society has relaxed it’s view on those who aren’t well-educated or cannot express themselves eloquently. We don’t call people dumb anymore, they’re challenged individuals. Heck, we even put them on reality TV shows and digitally parade them around the country for our entertainment. It’s hip to be clueless and intelligence just isn’t as sexy as it used to be. Meh.
Sadly enough, you’re right.
I wouldn’t exactly say it’s “hip” to be clueless…it’s just that the cluelessness is overlooked because of beauty and physical perfection. The people that are clueless are clueless because they spend time to perfect themselves physically, and in today’s society, that’s all that’s needed to become attractive. There are still beautiful people who have more than half a brain to work with.
This is very true. I happened to catch the Q&A section while flipping through the channels, but I could have just turned off the TV and read a book instead. I should really just smash my TV.
me and my dad was talking about this when she said it
Correction – American society. Many other societies still have their priorities straight, I hope…
