How dare you leave out the pedophilia!
Oh damn, I forgot. You're right, there's always that little extra spice thrown in.
How dare you leave out the pedophilia!
We were fortunate to have grown up in America during those times. Each succeeding generation has been further downhill.I'm glad I'm near the end of my life, I'd hate to be growing up today. Growing up in the 50's 60's was great.
That's been said by every generation about the new kids for as long as language has existed. If it were true, humanity would have gone extinct thousands of years ago.Each succeeding generation has been further downhill.
All I can go by is in my life. While I'm sure there was some that wanted to be a different sex than the one they were born with, and there were pedophiles, neither of which was celebrated until recently.That's been said by every generation about the new kids for as long as language has existed.

There's definitely some stupid shit going on. There always is. With the advent of personal social media technology, as opposed to mass media, dumb ideas have become contagious diseases. So social interaction these days evinces a huge downside potential.
Not as bad as nukes but still pretty bad.
Yet, even in my most pessimistic moments I continue to have faith that lessons will be learned and humanity will move on to better places. There are lurches backwards and sideways from time to time but, overall, 100 years from now things will be better.
Isn't that about the best we can hope for?
<>I think religion has something to do with it, growing up religion was important. We were made to go.
Also: Fear of God, choosing NOT to fear man.<>
Yes, Religion and the ethics derived from it.
Sanctity of Human Life,

I'm gonna say that this only goes so far. As an example, if an adult commits suicide, it causes hugely negative ripples all around them like a rock thrown into a pond. If what they are doing to themselves is causing diseases, causing their soul and conscience to become further evil, this DOES affect society.I can care less what an adult wants to do to themselves, I just don't want it thrown in my face. Pedophilia will never be okay with me. That's preying on the most vulnerable, and nothing can get my blood boiling more than that.
After the murders, three TN congressmen tried to hold the capitol building hostage over gun control. The legislature expelled two of the three and was promptly labelled racist.
The veep went to Nashville amd gave a speech in support of the expelled representatives. Didn’t even bother to acknowledge the victims, much less meet with the families. About the best that can he said is she kept her whore mouth shut about the murderer.
Wasn't it that scumbag Rham Emmuel (my apologies, I don't feel like wasting my time on looking up his name) that said, "never let a crisis (or in this case, a tragedy) go to waste?The victims only matter to us. That has been made obvious again and again - the victims are useful until there's some other lever they can use to push for civilian disarmament. To the left, they're nothing but stage props to be used for effect and then forgotten about.
You left out "serious" crisis, and what he meant by that "And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
