No-strings sex takes toll in UK

The liberal social engineers are turning the world into one big dogpack.

[Tax-chick]

The most recent report on social trends by the Office for National Statistics found a record 1 in 4 children in Britain live in households headed by a single parents — overwhelmingly single mothers.

This is an interesting number. To me, it suggests that the single-mother birthrate, in spite of record promiscuity, is still lower than the married-immigrant (or British-born Moslem) birthrate. Either that, or they're considering it a "two-parent" household if some guy lives with the mother, as recent statistics here did.

It's all THIS guy's fault:

This is what a dying society looks like. No culture can withstand the flood of fatherless, undisciplined young men that results from trivializing sex like this. The result is either anarchy or a police state resembling Oceania in “1984”.

Leave Benny alone. BTW isn’t that the chick from Frazier in that pic. I know she started out on the Benny Hill Show.

Marriage civilizes men and keeps women from being used.

For the most part, I agree. However, marriage is a precious gift from God that can be horrendously abused, just like sex. Only God can save us from our sins.

Deuteronomy 11:26
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

Malachi 2:2
If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

1 Corinthians 7:28
But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

While I understand your point, I take exception.

While there was certainly a great loss of life in WWI, and to a certain extent during WWII, that alone is not an excuse for what England, Britain and the rest of old Europe has become.

It is a common and simplistice answer for what has happened.

[Theodore R.]

That’s what happens when the British outgrew the need for God.

[Aquinasfan]

in the modern world, women are at the whim of men like NEVER before.

Who would have guessed?

Consequences of Artificial Methods

17. Responsible men can become more deeply convinced of the truth of the doctrine laid down by the Church on this issue if they reflect on the consequences of methods and plans for artificial birth control. Let them first consider how easily this course of action could open wide the way for marital infidelity and a general lowering of moral standards. Not much experience is needed to be fully aware of human weakness and to understand that human beings—and especially the young, who are so exposed to temptation—need incentives to keep the moral law, and it is an evil thing to make it easy for them to break that law. Another effect that gives cause for alarm is that a man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and, disregarding her physical and emotional equilibrium, reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desires, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround with care and affection.

I don’t believe any species has ever “shagged itself to death” Infact the opposite is usually true

Leave Benny alone. BTW isn’t that the chick from Frazier in that pic. I know she started out on the Benny Hill Show.

I think you're right. And I have nothing but admiration for Benny, I think that he probably met one of the saddest ends when he was discovered slumped over in his cushioned chair at home, apparently suffered a fatal heart attack, and what was the last thing playing on his TV when he was found?

You know it: 'The Benny Hill Show'.

I heard a bit of rumor years ago that the British actor Robert Carlyle (Full Monty, Ravenous, etc) was invited to portray Benny Hill in a bio-pic of his life, and Carlyle turned it down, saying that he didn't think he could do Benny's style of comedy justice.

Benny was way ahead of the curve.

“The abortion rate in Russia... though was still the highest... “

Maybe the researchers don’t consider Russia a “major industrial nation” (snicker,snicker)

The ladies on The View tried to take her apart on this point. They thought it was a terrible, terrible thing to say. But the facts are out there. Statistically, the odds are against these women and their children. Liberalism has cost them dearly.

That's why Ann has to be demonized. They must suppress the truth, because it exposes the lie of liberal compassion. Since they can't argue the facts, they can only ridicule the messenger.

I walk into a store with my wife. A single man sees her and wants to have sex with her.

Either she's a supermodel, or you are someone less than secure about it, but not every single man wants to have sex with every woman he sees all the time. Stores are often seen as good places to buy things, not as pickup joints.

You are right about the feminazis not seeing part B. But they'd like to monkey stomp every man, not just the ones smiling at your wife.

“Shagging” is a mindless flippant term used by someone who has no respect for sex and that’s what happened in Britain.

[When do we get liberated?]

im with swain on this one

“People don’t realize the incredible toll the loss of the best of British men from WWI and WWII took...”

Add French losses in WWI and the South’s in The War. Civilization is a game of inches at best and when the Reaper takes so many of the very best society does indeed suffer the consequences.”

See thread above. This is what Newsweek article was saying about hunting vis-a-vis animal de-volution.
Interesting juxtaposition.

"Oh, behave!"

[Cronos]

Actually, swain's post is very informative and brings out a good point -- "As a man, I find it hard to come out against lots of women willing to have no-strings sex" -- the entire "revolution" has, instead of liberating women, just given men more license to do what they like to women.

Marriage andsex only IN marriage safeguarded women by ensuring that men knew the consequences of their actions. However, now men have nothing barring them from shagging their way around, with no consequences.

I was in England for nearly 6 years before coming back last Dec and I can vouch that a large percentage of the problem are Anglo-Saxons. The Caribbeans are more family oriented, while the African immigrants aren't significant in numbers.

The lower classes in England are in a bad state -- their education system is worse than in the US and the native Anglo-Saxons are devolving quickly.
