RE: VN Bus. News [Have we lost our innocent?]

Hi all

I found the sentence below interesting. Is this true?

I also wonder how they collect this info. Do they go into theaters and
watch what other people are doing or do they ask young patrons? And how
young are these "young people"?

To me, it's plausible, but hard to believe (or do I NOT want to
believe?). I remember when my girlfriend in 11th grade absolutely
refused to even be seen talking to me at school. I followed her to
school, but had to keep my bicycle at a distance behind hers, etc...It's
kind of hard to think that youth nowaday would "make out" in theaters in
full view of others. I can see it in a western society, but in VietNam
?!?!

Am I getting to be a real "old geezer" or have we lost our innocent ?

The real question is: did you guys do this? :-)))
If the answer is yes, then I think I may need to talk to my teen-age
cousins soon. ;-)

Ti`nh tha^n,
HL
