USA: Loneliest Country In The World – Because We’ve Abandoned The Traditional Family Structure?

-— Recently read a selection from Jean-Jacque Rousseau ——

Like most (all?) modern philosophers, Rousseau loved humanity but hated people, abandoning all of his children to orphanages and almost certain death.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— It’s part of the reinstitution of slavery. Broken families don’t as often rise to compete. -—

The clan is the best bulwark against State oppression. It’s easy to pick off an individual, not so the Duck Dynasty clan.

in the abstract but not in the concrete huh

Why not?

The ONLY reason that I haven’t fled this country is because our GDP is still high (for now) and there are abundant educational facilities. After I finish grad school I’m getting the hell out of this insane asylum masquerading as a nation. This place deserves to be carpet nuked. Best way to stop the infection.

So Joseph Stalin won the war in the end. Ain’t life grand?

Western Culture, western movies, TV, I see them (Taiwanees ) take up smoking here much like Korean immigrants kids do here. I never met a PRC who smoked.

Go to China. Men over 40 smoke like chimneys, though it does seem to be less popular among younger people.

You can take heart in the fact that nature’s flow is unstoppable. You can delay it, but eventually the dam bursts. The culture America has will die a painful death, then a rebirth will occur some time after.

Nations which go down the path we are going usually don't recover. Actually I can't think of a single nation which has had a true "rebirth" after this level of total corruption.

Posted by me on another similar thread I posted:

It’s true that what was once ‘polite society’ in America is Gone With The Wind! A very large percentage of our society has rendered itself soul-less.

I honestly believe that the societal situation is too far gone to attempt any recovery effort. Who to blame? Or, rather what to blame?

The central socialist governement as well as the complicit state and local governments. The local governments for allowing the Washington, D.C. takeover of local school systems and taxing the citizens to death.

The whole thing is, indeed, like the example of the frog placed in a pan of cold water atop the stove. After the stove is turned on the frog sits there in a stupor as he is slowly boiled to death.

We are that frog and the burner is govenment.

The only Chinese I have seen smoking are from Tiawan.

I never met anyone from PRC who smoked, or even thought smoking was a good thing.
