I can understand women making themselves attractive-ie pleasing to the eyes- but these days even young girls present themselves as nothing more than walking vaginas, ready and willing to be used-then discarded like Kleenex. Sex has become a valueless commodity instead of what it was ordained to be. Women certainly don’t have to be “wooed and won” anymore, they present themselves as there for the taking, whether that’s what they intended or not.

I was a little shocked when I watched television programming aimed at pre-teens. It’s all about sex. There’s incredible pressure for kids to “match up” in grade school and any girl who is worth anything MUST have a boyfriend or two. This carries right on up through high school where going to the prom with somebody, anybody is a MUST and then into young adulthood where programs like Sex in the City are somehow about “liberation”. Women really haven’t “come a long way baby” and in many ways they’ve regressed.

And somewhat related are the different cultural norms with respect to women. Since we tossed the melting pot in favor of the diversity patchwork quilt, the objectification of women in other cultures is now not to be questioned and in many cases “celebrated”.

IMO this is typical Memphis diversity at its best. I hope I have plenty of ammo and am healthy when Armageddon starts so I can defend myself from the hoards coming from the West.

Yes, everything in this culture promotes the message of “if it feels good do it” and they’re getting them younger and younger. I see it as all part of the same plan to sedate people’s consciences. The better for the state to become the “conscience” of society-hence the only sin is “intolerance”.

Of course the goal is to undermine and weaken America, and the infiltration of Islam is another tool in the eyes of the left, who seem to not realise they have a tiger by the tail in making use of Islam to weaken America. But anyway that would explain why they overlook Muslim towards women that they would never tolerate in western culture. Undermining America trumps their feminism, just as their leftism trumped it with regard to Clinton’s actions.

I’m certainly not going to ascribe to a nanny state mentality and believe people need to take personal responsibility rather than legislated responsibility.

Fullilove is not a common name. I just watched an older episode of the First 48 where the Memphis PD busted a another Fullilove for beating to death some dude with the butt of a shotgun... Just saying

I’m not promoting the notion of the state being the arbiter of morality, merely pointing out where the overall culture is. That is a societal problem, not a legislative one. Our forefathers didn’t need legislation to live with common decency. I don’t subscribe to the idea of government dictating societal morality (broadly speaking-the push to undermine society by destroying the family through official recognition of “gay marriage” is another story-but it’ going to happen eventually anyway). I’m saying that this trend is weakening and will destroy this civilisation, history shows this. But that’s the trend and it will continue. As a believer in Bible prophecy, I believe it can’t be otherwise.
