and a country where too much time on one’s hands hands has become epidemic, that hit of dopamine is all that matters to many.

Just like you need more of a drug to get that same first high, you need crazier and crazier sex and pornography to get that same high.

Add one of the inevitable last stops on that descent into pornographic madness is children.

Beastiality would be down the line somewhere and no that’s not a sarcastic comment.

Perhaps this is a silly example but I used to be able to find a kid to shovel my walk in 5 minutes after a snowstorm. Now nobody comes around. At all. Not even the Mexicans anymore.

in the Land of plenty sometimes nothing exceeds like excess

I have always agreed that TV only offers us what a significant number of viewers want. If no one watches, it doesn’t make it on air.

Nah. The problem is pretty much Netflix.

The problem is purist intolerance

There are thousands of programs to watch. Living to hate is no way to live

Everyone should have a look at the Teen Vogue website. It is about 10% fashion and 90% hard left indoctrination. Conde Nast needs to be held to account for this crap.

I started going the other way in life.
I don’t watch tv or sports anymore.
I got rid of clutter, as it clutters my mind.
I’ve been reading a lot, going for walks in nature and meditating.
I’m far more calm, peaceful, and happy than I was previously.
Eat healthy, think deeply, exercise often, and sleep well.

When we first got Amazon Prime and checked out their video streaming, the “recommended movies” contained a ton of asian R rated soft porn. We thought that was weird. But in a week or so there was nothing like that being offered as “recommended”. It’s just like Youtube. It recommends based on what you watch.

But their “default” setting was a bit disappointing.

He’s right but the problem is with people who are willing to complain about the content and still pay each month to keep their accounts.

“I used to be able to find a kid to shovel my walk in 5 minutes after a snowstorm. Now nobody comes around.”

It is probably just as well. If they injured themselves, the lawyers would make sure it was the end of you.

“The problem is purist intolerance”

SW household doesn’t open the valve of the 50” diagonal sewage pipe to flood our living room with pron, pseudo-pron, nor the hyper-sexualization of children.

If this is “purist intolerance”, so be it.

Yeah, 'cause being against child pornography is "intolerant". I must be a prude. Did I just stumble into an alternate universe where FR is evil?

While you are walking in nature, check out the wild flowers

....the girls simulate sexual intercourse; bump and grind their hips; bend over in front of the audience; and touch their crotches while they sigh, look skyward and suck on their fingers. And that’s just one scene....

That is plain nuts.

BTW, I have no problem with parents who enroll their children in ballet, Irish dance, Indian dance, or any kind of folk dance.

Thanks for the reference.

The other day while walking, I had an odd occurrence.
Some plant must have bloomed, and it smelled like band aids.
I was quite confused...

Well written article. So true. Americas' fall is accelerating, like a roller coaster. We need national repentance or we are finished. "If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under." Ronald Reagan “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ― Ronald Reagan
