Well folks, that was fun!
I can only do so much back and forth.
I don't think we are going to come to an agreement on the nature these "heinous" events, but that's OK.
At least we are free to discuss them.
Have a respectful and contemplative Memorial Day!
@CavSct1983,
I see parallels to having a front-row seat to the second fall of Rome.
Great points/thoughts!Quote:

I think a lot of this is bigger than most folks realize, a test of sorts. And it's not necessarily about tolerance (as I think OP was advocating rather than indorsing the behavior) but people falling for this corruption in their own lives and not being able to recover. I just can't even get my head around the things being pushed on kids and younger people (up to millennials).
My personal values evolution watching this unfold for the last 20 or so years...

Have no fear. While I believe your mentality is riddled with a share in the fault of society, I am not pure as the driven snow.Quote:

Death of body, death of soul, death of a future. Just... death. Sometimes I wonder if that was a large, though subconscious, part of why I initially joined the military during a time of war.
But it is only in looking back, and seeing the positives of changes which were made, that I can see how such things can be a problem even when they seem insignificant.
So I share, perhaps more than you and many here, in fault. Moving forward, I am completely without excuse and in a much worse position I fear.
Going back to Mike Mullane, take it from someone whose bad decisions and immoral world view and behavior nearly led to a catastrophic failure:
Normalization of deviance, in any sphere but especially the moral, is a recipe for disaster.
The only people who ever seem to use the phrase "wow, just wow" are all drunken crazy cat ladies who work for outfits like Buzzfeed.

However, since this was back in 1976, being caught would likely have involved significant pain being inflicted by the majority of our parents. On the moon surfaces, so to speak.

Looks like he might fit well on a farm with rabbits. I'm sure the #.357 bus could take him there quickly.Quote:

Here's what those activists want and what those of you using the government schools will soon have to deal with...
California's sex ed guidelines are 'shocking' and 'medically risky' for kids, teacher says
https://www.christianpost.com/news/c...cher-says.html
Quote:
“It’s shocking,” Rebecca Friedrichs, the founder of For Kids & Country, said in an interview with The Christian Post when describing the condom relay races 10- and 11-year-old girls have been participating in at schools where, in front of boys, they’re taught how to put a condom on a model of an erect adult male penis.
Students as young as 11, she warned, are also being taught to engage in risky sexual acts, such as experimenting with oral and anal sex with their “partner.”
Probably just Christian propaganda though, right? Until you read SB19-1032 and see that it inherently requires the same "education" without any age limits other than stating "age-appropriate."

Libs think five year olds receiving hormonal treatments for a sex change is age appropriate. What good judgment will be exercised when it comes to "teaching" your kids?
So many fall for the same Lib trick... Camel's nose under the tent. I did too until I saw it enough times to realize. It starts with "health" and "preventing pregnancy" because "the kids are screwing anyway." And ends with teaching 11 year old how to have anal sex.
Exposing children to sexual topics, and especially degeneracy, before puberty (which is why they are doing this) will have an impact on their sexual development. Combine this with the focus on identity politics messaging to kids that they have to be special and it's a disaster.
