Talking with hubby tonight and he said "boy,people are really stupid" Where have we heard this recently? My take is:
1. People have gotten too far away from the farm to know where food comes from and other common sense values.
2. People have gotten too far away from church to know the difference from right & wrong. Not a gray area here.
3. Lawmakers have gotten too far away from the 10 Commandments to know the law.
Thanks! I feel better now.
If you don’t mind I feel like that’s a great beginning for a sermon. I need a good Spring sermon for Sunday.
New Yorkers have gotten too far from a child’s picture book to know what a tiger looks like...
...or a raccoon.
Please record so we can all hear a good sermon!
In my tagline “sluts” is intended as a gender-neutrsl noun...
There isn’t a single marketer paying for media ads who doesn’t want stupid people to watch them. So I blame the media first.
Well said.
Tiger reported running through streets of New York _ or not
God is great, beer is good, people are crazy..
They don’t visit Central Park anymore?
Because of technology, people no longer talk, face to face, to one another. They believe that what's on line is "true", when it is NOT! And most people have NOT/do NOT read anything worthwhile anymore; not even the greats of fiction...let alone well written nonfiction books.
Parents have long ago abnegated their responsibility...re teaching and raising their children.
Movies and T.V. shows are utter garbage.
Being well educated is no longer seen as valuable.
Imagination and curiosity has been beaten out of several generations.
LOL, I never record. I hate the sound of my voice (awful southern accent). I honestly don’t know how my parishioners can stand it. However, I might send the typed version to you via private mail here on FR.
Come on folks, give me some more “too far” away examples.
Supposedly the last time 65% of eligible US voters voted in national elections was back in 1908, less for state and local. It hasn’t broken that since, a lot of them being below 55%. At least by any thing that I have seen.
Nobody really seems to care that millions and millions in campaign money is spent to convince the swayable to vote one way or the other, and we still haven’t broken 65% eligible voter turnout in 108 years. That is pretty amazing to me.
Supposedly the dumbest 10% of voters, the ones that vote one way and then another and can’t usually give a reason that follows any sort of logical explanation and aren’t guided by a consistent political philosophy, are the ones that decide elections. Supposedly all campaign money is meant to sway the swing voters, at least after the primary process.
That’s something else I find amazing. That the dumbest 10% of eligible voters who still somehow manage to vote decide all elections, whether or not a pub or dem wins. It could be a good result or a bad one, but in any case the idiots decided it based on who managed to sway more of them.

Come on folks, give me some more “too far” away examples.
It all stems from the combination of two things: a standard of living unparalleled in modern times (if not all history) and a failure to impress upon the youth (from the boomers on) how blessed (yes blessed, not lucky, not fortunate) they are to be living in this era compared to what preceded it.
I do mainly blame liberals for this, since they have successfully infiltrated the public schools, the popular culture and many legislative bodies to ensure that “if it feels good, do it” took the place of what used to be known as common sense.
We’ll be watering crops with Mountain Dew before this is all over.
Your husband is a wise man - but he’s probably giving people too much credit ;-)
Would love it!
