There’s a lot of Manufactured Mental Retardation in our Brave New World society and drugs have a lot to do with it.

I agree, but I don't regard drugs as the primary cause. That would be the idiot box through which an endless stream of left wing Propaganda mixed with Left wing approved news and commentary, reaches into our homes and pollute the minds of people who have no better sources of information.

Television is making us stupid.

I agree with the poster on this thread that put a lot of the troubles we are facing in our country on decades of over-use of drugs.

I believe that is the case.

I have seen what drugs do to people (without worrying about the word “dependent” which to me is totally arbitrary) and seen how stupid it makes them.

The NEA
The Media
The Drugs

All three are working to make America stupid and keep America stupid.

In My Opinion.

Which the Union did as well, and had no intentions of stopping.

The northern part of the U.S. did not launch a rebellion to protect slavery. The Southern states did.

You repeatedly keep dragging up the word "slavery" to justify what your side did, and you keep ignoring the evidence that they didn't really do what you are claiming.

All the justification the U.S. needed was the fact that the Southern states claimed to have left and then launched a war to further their aims. The U.S. goal in fighting the war that was forced on them was first, last, and always to preserve the Union. Slavery didn't enter into the motivation, and the fact that the institution was fatally weakened during the course of the war and was finally done away with shortly after it ended was one of the few happy outcomes of that tragic and bloody conflict.

No, but very interesting how you so often reply to any anti-drug post I make with a bunch of craziness and never about anything else. Creepy how you watch me, dude.

It's not just you, I have to say he is an "equal opportunity employer" of craziness. He sends crazy vibes out to everyone.

Now this I agree with unequivocally. It is indeed this triumvirate of factors making people stupid.

Actually he said "hooked on drugs" - hence my references to dependence.

Is alcohol one of the drugs whose overuse has contributed to the troubles we are facing in our country? If so, what should we do about that?

You don’t have to reply to them. I’m willing to say let’s agree to disagree on this and move on.

So lets say they launched a rebellion to protect their forest timber. Would that allow them to exercise their rights to leave?

You keep holding up that "slavery" shield to protect yourself from having to defend a clearly tyrannical position.

Very interesting how you always fail to demonstrate the alleged "craziness" of my replies.
In your dopey dreams - creepy stalking loser.

Go ahead and deny that from the 100+ replies I have gotten from you, not a single one was ever abut something other than drugs. Add to that - it is always you posting to me and not the other way around... yea that’s because you are sick and a waste of time.

Biology. Tradition. Children.

...the Constitution?

Rubbish.

So said the Supreme Court of the United States this morning in a 5-4 decision striking down laws in every state passed by the people upholding marriage.

Today we got the “Roe v. Wade of marriage” — where the Court pretends to settle a controversial social question by judicial fiat, while the rest of America says: “no way.”

For years same-sex marriage advocates have knowingly lied and deceived the public. They first claimed that they simply wanted the right to ‘marry’ the person they love. And yet where same-sex marriage has been approved, a tiny percentage of gay people got married.

They claimed homosexuality was genetic, but now say ‘gender’ and ‘sexual identity’ is a choice.

They claimed the mantle of tolerance and diversity — and yet have betrayed those same principles in attacking anyone that disagrees. Speak up for marriage in any public place today and you will be shamed and shunned, or worse.

So what is really at stake?

For many in the LGBT movement, the marriage debate is merely a proxy for a much larger revolution underway. Their end goal is to destroy marriage altogether, including the family, religion, and any institution that proposes limits on human behavior, especially sexual behavior.

They believe gender is a social construct and that children should be brought into the world outside of the traditional family. For many, the idea that men and women are made for each other or that children deserve a mother and a father is a form of discrimination.

This is what the fight for marriage is ultimately about — and why it’s far from over.

Some things to ponder:
The world did not just end. The Court decision is a reflection of our deeply lost and misguided culture. Judges don’t change reality.

According to a recent survey approximately 1.6% of Americans describe themselves as gay. And even where gay marriage has been made legal, a tiny percentage actually get married. The media has and will continue to massively overstate the prevalence of same-sex unions.

With the gay ‘marriage’ decision considered ‘settled,’ the predictable assault on religious liberty can finally be unmasked. Gay groups will inevitably begin to splinter and disagree on what comes next. Their overreach will come, and there will be a backlash, politically and culturally.

If and when forms of persecution come, rejoice. “Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.” (Matthew 5:11-12).

Look around you (especially in you live in Charleston, SC). Americans are still good people, devoted to faith, family, and children. Remember 50 million Americans voted to defend marriage. No rainbow flag, Supreme Court decision, or minority living in San Francisco or New York is going to change that.

In many ways the tables have now been flipped, with the burden of showing respect, tolerance and opposing discrimination now in the hands of the gay-marriage movement.

Will they respect the right of ordinary Americans who believe in male-female marriage to live out this time-honored truth?

Today is the feast of St. Josemaria. With today’s news, it’s good to be reminded now more than ever of our calling to be saints in the world.

This is a time for prayer and bold witness.

So much to do.

So many people need Christ.

Brian

If done with the agreement of both sides of the issue then it doesn't matter what the underlying reason for leaving is.

You keep holding up that "slavery" shield to protect yourself from having to defend a clearly tyrannical position.

Since I'm not the one claiming that some states have no rights while other states do then I don't think I'm the one defending tyranny.
