How did we get to this point as a society? (Page 3 of 4)
|
The more comfortable society is the more of this we see. Folks dont have time to count genders or play dress up if they gotta think about where their next meal is coming from. Society going out of its way to tolerate anything and everything because they think tolerating anything and everything is virtuous. Rejecting Christianity has led some to find a morality chasm they are quickly trying to fill it with whatever they want. |

I feel like a lot of our problems as a society could be resolved by more people minding their own business. "minding our own business" is the mentality that got us here. Ay they wanna buttf*ck their dog in the privacy of their own home, mind my business. Ay, they wanna kill their kids, don't hurt me, mind my business. Why don't you mind your own business? What business is it of yours if somebody is taking pictures of people who went out in public to be seen? Be quiet. |

Back in the day those people were mercilessly hounded and teased as kids and to an extent dragged into assimilation for emotional survival. Today anything goes, everything is accepted and encouraged... a young man that was employed in government filmed his sodomy session in the senate offices for godsakes.. why would anyone think that's a good idea unless they understood anything goes in this permissive society? |

Didn't think so. What Boomers actually did was destroy their marriages and let strangers and mass media raise their kids to a much greater extent than prior generations. -pretty much nails it... add the iphones and bammm hear we are. |

I'm sure the 20% of Americans on psychotropic drugs has nothing to do with it. Or the brainwashing from the media and the schools. Or the hormones in our food. Or the fact that testosterone levels have fallen off a cliff. I'm sure it's none of those. |

Life has gotten too cushy. You think people in 1926 had the extra time and money to play "dress up like a fairy" every day? How about 1826? |

It was called the " Roaring Twenties " Girls were chopping off their hair, wearing short skirts, drinking smoking, and listening to evil jazz music. This is all relative to the lifestyle at the time. It's nothing new. And really no big deal. |

When the going gets tough, the tough go cyclic.
