Most proms are immoral and can be vulgar, depending on the school and what not

I don't think we're talking Jewish prom here. I think that dancing is innocent, dressing up and feeling like royalty for an evening is innocent , and even interdancing. I respect your culture and your religion but I admit, I'd have a hard time giving up things from the culture I'm in if I were to convert to Judaism. I LOVE dancing with my husband and in a group of men and women. I LOVE wearing clothes that are feminine but don't show anything off..but I love having the freedom to choose a lot better. I also love PDA (Public Displays of Affection). (I'm not talking about sex on the beach or anything but people who wouldn't mind someone else seeing how in love and dedicated to their spouse or significant other they are. )
I'm glad we're all different. Otherwise conversations like these would not only be one-dimensional but not much fun at all.

Erica, you have essentially accepted on principle this movement believes in...No One World... If we all had the same religion and same this and same that and one country, it woudl be a very one dimensional world. On a smaller scale you have always known that...

And interdancing... Yacov, stop picking on celebrations that actually make others happy.

I agree - Yakov, cheerup dude !!! You need a woman in your life to make you wanna celebrate these great moments.

I think its culture that allows them to be immoral, if the culture is created to allow such behavour then its one that can't be promoted.
Every school dance or social we call them, I have been too we all had a good clean time ( I have been to around 5).
Its a little worrying that alot of you seem to be in areas of unacceptable social standards.

That's actually always been my mantra. I've ALWAYS accepted other religions and different cultures of people because everyone SHOULD be respected for what they stand for and for the positivity they bring to the world. The one thing I'm against is bashing colors of other's skin, comparing people to monkeys, and bullying good people. Say what you will about those who aren't productive and constantly start trouble...just don't doubt that there is good in every culture.

Maybe JTF can learn a few things from Erica.
