In 1965, there were MORE stable families,of ALL races, than there are now. The black out of wedlock pregnancies/born children were ONLY at 25% and NOW.....now it is reaching very close to 80%, with white out of wedlock pregnancies far higher than that of blacks in 1965, at somewhere close to 40 %, with neither race having the old fashioned "normal" stable family.
Hookups, shacking up, easily available porn of EVERY imaginable kind? Ho hum...what else is "new" in 22025? In 1965 ALL of THAT would have shocked the vast majority of people!
The numbers of people going to religious services once a week? NORMAL in 1965! NOW? Okay...you tell me!
Dressing respectfully? Once the NORM! NOW? ANYTHING GOES! AND AS MY MOTHER USED TO SAY.....YOU BEHAVE THE WAY YOU ARE DRESSED!
I could go on and on and ON, in the same vein, but IF you haven't gotten the clue YET, or disagree with what I have written, then there really is less than NO point in my posting about MORE things.
But one last tidbit...kids, today, as well as young and not so young adults no longer understand what dating IS, nor HOW to do it. Many also have no idea HOW to be a real friend. And manners? LOL...only old fogies imagine that that matters.
Okay, now ask yourself WHY!
It's really quite simple.....the stinking RED DIAPER BABIES began all of this garbage, back in '67, escalated it to a very high degree in '68 and though it took a bit longer and with the help of LBJ and almost ALL Dems, the fabric of civilization was torn asunder. No rules, no nothing...the Commies won!
Okay, there are still some pockets, here and there that aren't quite as BAD as other places, but can you tell me, honestly, that NOW, America and the West, shorn of what made these civilizations good to great/civilized, are better?
I was only trying to add some levity in the thread. I don't understand how anybody could be piqued about proper fashion, when fashion has been as changeable as the climate over the centuries.
