When did our society start to decay? What happened?

so, if there is a bad kid we can know their parents didn't love them?......BucKKKleon's parents were evil.......

I was a Problem Child ... and I'm still a Problem as an Adult

[Bourbon]

Nope, I don't buy the premise of "the good old days", that elderly tea-bagging conservatives in rocking chairs always jabber on about.


80 years ago, women could not vote and were treated as second class citizens.

50 years ago, we had Jim Crow, blacks were still being strung up in trees, white male hegemony was entrenched, and even the remote concept of equality was inconceivable.

30 years ago, gay people were treated as if they were mentally ill, and discrimination against them was not only perfectly acceptable, but widespread.

15 years ago, the concept of gay marriage, gay adoption of children, or equal rights for the LBGT community seemed a distant prospect.

10 years ago, marijuana was not legal, and people with chronic pain or health conditions that needed it were treated like criminals.




I would really like to know when exactly this alleged "golden age" of America was, when all its citizens were treaty equally, treated with dignity, and afforded full protection from discrimination, harassment, and persecution.

Why do you use so many periods? Because you have no support to offer for your asinine assumptions.

Well, that's what bitches do because they have no point of view, don't know where they're going to.

I'm not sure anyone, right or left, can argue we are at a terrible decayed point in our society.

Just the other day my niece and nephew who are fostered by my brother had to visit their drug addicted mother. She is incapable of raising a field mouse, but has 3 other kids she raises. She can barely function from opioid addiction, yet govt gives her 1200 a month in SSI payments. So she can fund her drug habit. Yup! YOur tax money hard at work.


Anyway, my niece brings friends over from time to time, and nearly all of them come from "mixed" "blended" families. IE not married parents, half siblings, step siblings. 2-3 different dads, different moms etc. Keep in mind this is a generally affluent area.

The situation is much worse in minority families. Blacks have 75% out of wedlock birth rate. High abortion rates.

So what happened? We went from nearly everyone coming from a nuclear family, to the family being completely destroyed.

It started happening after the 1960s. After Johnson passed the "great society" unfettered welfare act. This gave people, mothers a new option. Don't get married, have as many kids as you wish, and govt will raise and pay for them. It's been a complete and utter disaster. The family is dead. Our society is dead, and this is completely unsustainable.

Yet SJW, Libtards, BLM are worried about what bathrooms trans can go in. Cops doing their jobs, etc. Not a word on family or societal decay that is causing MASSIVE disorder, crime, death, etc.

ALso, most active shooters come from fatherless homes and broken families. Maybe a refocus on this issue would stop gun violence? Rather than more govt intervention.

There's nothing particularly wrong with kids coming from 'blended' families.

Lashing out because you don't know who your father was isn't going to solve anything, sugartits.

We don't live in a democracy. A lynch mob is a democracy. I think it was Franklin who said that democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

Yeah sure, Adolph.

think of each one as a slap upside your head.......hopefully by the time you get to the end, you've gotten the message......

[Darth Omar]

The greatest single reason for the destruction of a society is the breakdown of the family. A traditional family unit is a microcosm of the larger vision of a society. Each member of the family has specific functions and duties so that there is order and cohesion. It's the foundation and once the foundation crumbles, so goes the whole house.

Saved me from typing.

[Controlled Opposition]

Yeah sure, Adolph.

Okay, Stalin. Between you and Franklin, I'll roll with Ben.

[Cancel 2020.1]

There is a lot of "traditional family" talk, but I'll go one further with that - most families need both parents to work now, and even in those cases, one or both need multiple jobs, just to make ends meet.

Cost of living increases & the wealth gap are factors, imo.

It's the fault of the left! No, it's the fault of the right! No, simpletons, it's our culture.

which has aided a sociopath into the office of president by convincing idiots to hate their fellow man and help him tear our government apart.

It doesnt matter if hes doing it on purpose or by command of Putin

either way it makes Putin giggle like an anime school girl



AND Detroys our Democracy


be cheating in elections


That is not the Democratic party helping them fool


The Democrats are fighting the right not helping them hand it to Putin


Every time the Republican party breaks our government and or our economy they TRY REAL HARD to convince everyone its the Democrats who helped them do it .


Its the Democrats who have pulled in the reins and STOPPED THEM.


this is the Republican partys fault for helping Russia infiltrate our elections and government.


YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THIS FACT WITHOUT DEMOCRATIC PARTY MEMBERS

You've been invited to show and have yet to show up. Seems you're one of those you described.
