As for the rollerskating, was it at a rink or just in the neighborhood? That would have an effect somewhat on how I would answer that question.

In a rink on 'christian night' when the only music played is contemporary christian music, all the kids are church kids from the local churches and there are chaperones aplenty.
Honestly Jay I am glad that this stuff does not exist in your experience and I pray that it NEVER does, ever. I am so thankful that you have never come under abusive authority.
oohhh clicked on the link for a free concert earlier and found a radio station... they are playing a song called 'Ready yourselves or Until the whole world hears.. or something...' makes me want to rollerskate!!
