Read Romans 1:18-32. The Apostle Paul wrote that to the Christians in Rome who were living in a Greco-Roman world that was about as hedonistic as the one we live in today.

Summarizing, people quit believing God exists even though it's obvious through creation that God exists. So God removes His protecting had from part of people's sinful nature so that it's easier to give into heterosexual sin. The idea being that we'd get so depraved we'd take a step back and say to ourselves: "Wait a second! How did we get so depraved? We need to get back to like we once were and get back with God." But if that doesn't work then God removes His protective hand some more to the point that homosexuality seems cool. If we don't wake up and go: "What? How'd I get to the point that my idea of good sex is tearing up my butt? I need to get back to God.", then He removes even more of His protective hand from our sinful nature.

We're seeing that play out today just like it played out 2,000 years ago in Paul's time (and the centuries leading up to Paul's time). We're basically undoing from our culture the positive effects of the First and Second Great Awakenings. God wants us back and is hoping the really bad effects of our sinful nature wakes us up.

We are at a point where the acceptable conservative position seems to be that you must wait until a child is 8 years old before teaching them “sexual orientation or gender identity”. Sounds like a good plan.

Good.

Hope the trend continues.

They deserve destruction, it was self imposed.

Looks like another excellent investment opportunity for a certain investor we all know.

Taking a step back, I can't help but look at this today's events and reflect on what a sad thing this all is.

My family and I have many fond memories of our visits to Disney World years ago when my kids were still small. EPCOT, too. Memories I wouldn't trade for the world.

Yet look at it now, and what has happened; a slow, vile, cultural rot that infiltrated and has now largely subsumed what was once a grand enterprise. It's a damned shame.

The left poisons and destroys everything it touches. Everything. It is long past time to turn back this decadent tide, and hopefully this is a sign that this turnaround has finally begun.

I think it is because of those memories that we are all so angry and willing to do whatever it takes to put Disney back on track.

As I understand it, Iger is the one who started Disney on its slide into woke-ness.

“I hope they lose more....”

They won’t lose more. There are many more woke fools who are more than glad to have Disney take their money.

That’s why “I hope”, and I’m not shorting them…

I was in a restaurant yesterday waiting to pick up a ‘To Go’ order. It was busy and service was a little slow. There was NBA basketball on the big TV. I saw more NBA action there than I have since about the early 1990s or even further.

There was no sound on, but what I saw was odd. I did not recognize the teams. The only White people on the Court were carrying whistles. The players travel, they carry, they cannot dribble, and almost every shot was a dunk. There were some 3-Pointers, mostly failed attempts. The shoving and pushing was not allowed when I watched years ago. These guys ought to be wearing Football pads if this was the new normal.

I too stopped watching the NFL following that flag kneeling thing, but I stopped watching all other Pro Sports by 1994 with that MLB strike.

There is no room in my life for this foolishness. I do not understand the appeal. Upon reflection, I suppose that I never really did.

Officially, no..but there are rumors that recently-retired CEO Bob Iger is warming up in the bullpen for a return to the corner office. While the woke mobs in the animation division and the film studio promise more protests and walk-outs, the bean counters are looking at revenue projections and are looking a window to jump out of.

Watch the summer numbers for Disneyland, Disney World and some of the new movies. Lots of speculation that visits and ticket sales will be down significantly, as flyover country reacts to the Mouse that Went Woke. Also, it looks like sign-ups for Disney + have been slowing since last fall and you may see a net decrease in the months ahead: https://fortune.com/2021/11/10/disney-streaming-sign-up-growth-disappoints-wall-street-sending-shares-tumbling-3/

There’s a belief that Iger could somehow navigate the wokeness path without alienating the “ordinary” Americans the company relies on for its revenue. But it’s a pipe dream; Walt’s company has gone too far for 98% of its customer base and they will pay a heavy price. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch....

When I first stopped, I felt like I was missing out. Then I started reading more and going on hikes/walks. Eventually I couldn’t believe how much time I had wasted watching men play a game. I felt embarrassed that I did.

Many families enjoy the theme parks, but some cranky fat white guy like you says...get rid of them and you would take that away from people. I smell some envy if your angry rant. Like maybe you did not have the money to take your family to an Orlando vacation . It’s ok, someone has to dig the ditches and clean out the septic tanks. But don’t take your white-collar envy out here. It shows.

Are you angry that we defend children from pedophiles?

Ever see those hidden sexual images their animators included in their family movies with a child target audience.

Yeah, bye.

Yep. Deviants are deviant, and homosexuals are deviants.
When your identity is linked directly to your genitalia, something is wrong.
