"Major study blames iPhones for collapsing birth rate.
It's a cute hypothesis, but in fact conservatives are having as many kids as the 1980's.
It’s liberal ideology that's eating the kids."

So we’re ignoring the point and resorting to juvenile name-calling. Ok then.
The cause is supreme selfishness.
So you favor massive immigration?
What self respecting person wants there kids to grow up like weeds? Gonna kick your weed out at 18 with no money, no education ?
I doubt someone with a bunch of kids is going to give them much help and their life will be a struggle to say the least.
“It all started with “The Pill”.”
Yep. The greatest evil ever perpetuated by man. And I’m dead serious.
It’s not name-calling if it’s true.
And, on the contrary, it IS the point.
Morality and rights are not subject to a utilitarian calculation, or being malleable over time. Indeed, the left loves the concept of a “living Constitution” because, to quote David Kopel, it renders the Constitution dead.
Gun rights? Well, they may have been ok in the 1700s but we got problems today that renders them null and void, especially those scary guns that aren’t muskets. Free speech? Incompatible with feelings and sentiments and the current flavor of Hate Speech laws. Illegal immigration? Cmon, man…have a heart. A man is a man? Oh, that is SO yesterday - amen and awomen (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3921211/posts).
The devil and the left love ambiguity, lies, and bob-and-weave. They start out small, then we find ourselves in boiling water.
Our Side stands athwart these delusions. Morality and rights are eternal.
The Pill is an abortifacient, life begins at conception. Ergo, the Pill murders babies.
We can pray for conversion of mind and heart. I just did so. Have a great day.
It did...although I’ve argued that so did penicillin - some STD’s that could be death sentences disappeared with a pill. It lowered the risk especially for gay men, encouraging the behavior - which became a death sentence again when HIV arrived.
Between the two, they fueled the 60’s “love fest”. Behavior like this was unseen prior, for good reason, with the illusion that there were now no more consequences...with the truth being the consequences just shifted, with the results of dismantling the nuclear family.
It’s liberal ideology that’s eating the kids.
Yes dressing like a clown or sounding silly and dumb and ugly plays a part too.
“So we had iPhones in 1978?
O-kay.”
Umm, yes.
Didn’t you have one then?
The phone would not fit in my pocket.
Mine hooked directly into my 8 track tape player and CB radio.
Women can get undeserved attention from anywhere in the world on their phone. Guys can jerk off to porn on their phone. Having a relationship and kids is way too much work when you can instantly satisfy the base instincts of our lizard brain.
That is the point of the video which most people here didn't figure out because they likely didn't even bother watching it.
Lord, no - that would be against regulations.
