We became comfortable, at a critical-mass level, with all of this in the late 60’s. Those few of us who warned and condemned were laughed down as “prudes.”
Well, this is the opposite of prudence. I hope society likes it.
Yup. That’s some pretty wild genetic diversity in the delivery room.
You are right.
Im sure Im going to catch all kinds of crap for this too, it WAS letting women vote. 90% of them DON’T have a rational braincell in their heads. its all about emotions from the apple to prohibition to abortion.
The pill can’t be discussed without legalized abortion - the Plan B when the pill fails. Also, these gimmicks didn’t just let unmarried women to be promiscuous - they allowed MARRIED MEN AND WOMEN to do so as well.
Well put; the widening gap between people who spend hours watching TV (especially daytime TV) and those who work or otherwise spend their time productively can’t be bridged.
When did we pass the point?
Cultural acceptance of birth control.
Another day in the free-sex utopia. They’re all consenting adults ... except the child, but he’s not going to stand up and object, at least not right now.
Back in the 1960s.
It all started with “the pill.” When men and women could have sex without consequences, except occasionally a woman would forget to take the pill, well you can imagine the result. Plenty of bastard children out there. There used to be a time when being a bastard child was frowned upon by society as a whole. Also, there was a time when parents would warn their daughter’s with the phrase “why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.”
The Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus told her that Epstein didn’t kill himself.
It was well documented and predicted. All of this cultural rot
In the ‘60s.
Right on all counts.
But The Pill was first and was the game changer.
Legalizing the pill gave birth control the patina of government approval and therefore morally permissible.
Once the pill was permitted the next logical step was abortion.
Once abortion was permitted the next logical step was euthanasia.
Life has become cheap. Why are we surprised at drive by shootings?
Why are we surprised when a little girl and her father are shot while Trick-or-treating?
Our society kills our own children in the womb. It is obvious that we have no regard for life or the future.
Looks like you beat me to it. See post 50.
It’s not about voting. Women vying occurred in the ‘20s. This started in thee ‘60s
It’s about personal choices.
But allowing welfare recipients to vote is corrupt and has many bad consequences
I understand; I guess condoms themselves, since they pre-dated the pill, were the start of the slippery slope.
Beyond the cheapening of life, the separation of the sexual act from reproduction has created a bizarre, amoral world.
Years ago I was in a awaiting room and picked up a “Readers Digest”; a middle-aged woman wrote an article in which she described her shock at how many of her friends (white educated professionals)thought it completely acceptable for her to dupe her boyfriend into involuntary fatherhood”. They rationalized it by saying he’d had his fun, and now she should get what she wanted. The writer was appalled by how many also considered it barely relevant if the guy stayed or not.
Very disturbing; guys need to know this is what they are dealing with.
It is amazing that these shows even make it to the airwaves, while they throw in token whites to fend off accusations of racism, they show many blacks in the most unflattering light.
The Founding Fathers understood this and limited voting to taxpayers; in the days before income and sales tax, this was property owners. Many whites (including men) couldn’t vote when this country was founded; they contributed nothing to the pot.
The older I get, the more I appreciate the wisdom of the men who made this country - and the more I despise those who would destroy it.
So that's where we're at.
