Young Adults Ignore Traditional MoralityDid you survey the Boomers when they were the Mosaics' age? Because otherwise this is a moot survey- instead of surveying morality between generational groups, you're surveying between age groups. Obviously someone in their 50s would act differently than someone in their 20s.
One of the most stunning outcomes from the Barna survey was the moral pattern among adults under 25. The younger generation was more than twice as likely as all other adults to engage in behaviors considered morally inappropriate by traditional standards. Their choices made even the Baby Boomers - never regarded as a paragon of traditional morality - look like moral pillars in comparison.
For instance, two-thirds of the under-25 segment (64%) had used profanity in public, compared to just one out of five Boomers (19%). The younger group - known as Mosaics - was nine times more likely than were Boomers to have engaged in sex outside of marriage (38% vs. 4%), six times more likely to have lied (37% vs. 6%), almost three times more likely to have gotten drunk (25% vs. 9%) and to have gossiped (26% vs. 10%), and twice as likely as Boomers to have observed pornography (33% vs. 16%) and to have engaged in acts of retaliation (12% vs. 5%).

Boo Ya! You nailed it.
So I'm also curious about this AdSense...I've been curious for over a year but never looked into it further. Is it worth it? Are you actually making any money? Is it steady or up and down?
I signed up for AdSense late on Saturday. Sunday I made $1.49, Monday $0.85, Tuesday nothing, and today I made $2.34. The more clicks, the more $ obviously, and while it's not substantial, it's around $0.75 a post. I can't figure out how it works with page views though, because my hit counter has me with more page views than AdSense. I feel like it's free money though, and even if it's a check for like, $30 a month, I'm okay with that. I guess they send checks once a month? Something like that.
awesome Kara! Yes, they should've surveyed the boomers when they were our age. You know the old curse "I hope you have a kid just like you." I guarantee my mom was just like me at my age.
Ha Deena, I definitely agree on the mom thing. My mom has told me stories and she and I would have been friends for sure. I get tired of all these bunk surveys... I should do my own! Haha
