In government schools, children are fed a toxic diet of futility and blame for the ills of the world by environmentalists, while secularists outlaw any mention of God, the Creator and Preserver of the universe.

Now why do you suppose the young are taking anti-depressants? Adults have taken away childhood. Sometimes the penalty for that is death.

We live in a society that promotes nihilism. Idiot leftist like Richard Attenborough go around saying that humans are a plague on the planet, and kids are fed this drivel in elementary school being told that an endangered frog is more important than they are. Rainforests cry and bleed. The Earth “has a fever,” as Gore says. Humans are apparently the cause of every bad and negative thing in the world, and as such, we are to be condemned and castigated at every turn.

This sort of negativism being fed to our kids leaves them listless. They’re told to “explore their sexuality” when morality and nature say, “I’m not supposed to be interested in my best friend that way.” They go to the Internet and post nude pictures of themselves for approval by “peers” when in reality it’s a bunch of pederasts and faggots looking to get off who are on the other side of the screen.

Kids today are brought up outside of the church, outside of the love of God, they’re brought up in a world that espouses sexual promiscuity, recreational drug use, and dependency on government for everything from cradle-to-grave.

Is it any wonder why kids are so depressed? The natural drive is to succeed and prosper, but they’re constantly beaten down when they’re even perceptibly “better” than a peer. That sort of conditioning is damaging to the psyche and is leading them to use anti-depressants and anti-psychotic medications. After a period of time, they become zombies who want nothing to do with anything and feel their only way out, their only way to be recognized for anything they do is to become “popular” through the use of violence. The media promotes it.

If we don’t change the way our children are raised and teach them the value of life and a love and reverence for God, we, as a society, are truly lost.

Rebecca D. Costa understands the depth of the horror. Thanks God for people like her...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, antidepressants are now the most prescribed drugs in the USA, climbing almost 400% from 1988-94 through 2005-08. Not surprisingly, the biggest jump is among preschoolers and adolescents.

This is a national disgrace. How have we allowed so many of our children to be drugged like this? I know an elementary school teacher who says that half the kids that go through her school will at one or another be recommended for pharmaceutical treatment. It's an outrage.

“We have a widespread affliction on our hands that is affecting the entire human race.”

Yep, and it’s called “postmodernism”.

Personally I blame radical militant feminism, post-modern liberalism, and HIPPA laws.

It doesn't work.

In English we still make subjects and verbs agree in number.

You and me both, FRiend. The feminists have destroyed what it means to be a man. Two, going on three, generations of American boys have been raised as emasculated eunuchs.

There is an excellent book on the subject of the destruction of traditions and culture, [After Virtue], it was written by a former Marxist; Alasdair MacIntyre.

Although I do not agree with everything he suggests, It exposes a number of false premises on the far left.

Sounds like the warrior culture that’s been around throughout history.

What better way to go than in battle?

Demented psychos shooting toddlers brains all over the wall are not products of a “warrior culture”. A warrior culture weeds out these mutants. A liberal culture calls them victims and gives them preference and benefits.

Adults have taken away childhood. Sometimes the penalty for that is death.

And paradoxically, adopted perpetual adolescence.

This is a VERY WELL WRITTEN article and TRULY sheds a great deal of light on the CORE ISSUE behind these maniacal mass murders.

‘Nature has designed us so that the will to live acts as a deterrent against anything that threatens our continuation — including opening fire in a public place.

Fix this, and it won’t be long before gun control is superseded by self-control.’

I think most everyone already knows this, yet no one knows how. How does someone go about fixing something that nature screwed up? How does anyone even know who needs fixing before they break?

I remember the first time I heard the term “death by cop” - it was a little while after antidepressants hit the country...

Philosophy now teaches what is post-modernism. The only reality is what the individual perceives. Nothing outside your own experience really exists. You are totally alone. There is no God, therefore there is no absolute truth.

People, kids, need to know the truth. The father of lies is deceiving them and killing their hearts and minds, withering their souls.
