The sad reality of the future

[cstone]

Say what you will about the current generation, but the so called "greatest generation" has fucked up this country more than any of the newer generations.

Plenty of blame to go around.

What are we (you and me) going to do about it?

I'm being the best dad to my three kids and husband to my wife that I know how to be. I work, pay taxes, pay all of my bills, protect my loved ones, and educate them as best I'm able. If you can think of anything else I should be doing, please let me know.

Be safe.

This is horse shit! You wanna be a jackass go ahead. You obviously know jackshit about history. I wish my WWII veteran father was alive today to come kick you in your know-it-all nuts.

You really should look at who is running this country; "The Baby Boomers". The "Greatest Generation" grew up during the depression and no more about being "fiscally conservative" than anybody on this silly little forum.

There is one little thing you can do on top of all that- inspire others to do the same! If everyone did that, and was proud of it, this probably would be a better country for everyone.

What they did during World War II was amazing, but what they did after the war is what hurt America. They, not everyone mind you, set the stage for scumbag unions, for the outsourcing of jobs, and for old school welfare.

We need to stop this part.



What do you suppose the success rate for this plan would be? This is akin to saying the best way to teach someone to swim is to toss all of them into deep water, and the ones who really want to succeed will make it to shore. Sorry about the others.

Unfortunately though it's human nature to take the easy road when it's presented to them. Coddling them won't change their behavior, you cut off the "programs" which are in reality a hand out, and instead, go the route of not spending that money, and not collecting it in taxes and the economy will rebound providing opportunities for them to get out. Either way, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Do I inspire you?

A fiscally bankrupt society is the byproduct of a morally bankrupt society. Your generation thinks they can do and say anything because it always the fault of someone else. There is a need to regulate behavior and conduct or we have chaos. It is the confederacy of hoopleheads that want to run amok with no consequence that want to scream about morality.

And if you think some fiscal conservative is going to win the vote of the average moron that votes for the likes of obama claus you truly are not in this reality. Something for nothing trumps get out and work for it in their bubble.

So you're saying your brand of tyranny is better than theirs. Glad we got that straight, now I can completely dismiss anything you say in the name of freedom and liberty to be absolute BS. You just want to dictate a different brand of tyranny, nothing more, nothing less.

I repeat: You know jack shit about history.

They built this country, from the roads you drive on, to the schools you attended. They made us the most power nation the world has ever known. Unions aren't destroying this country, corrupt people are. In unions, government and in corporations. Your just blaming everyone and feeling sorry for yourself. Get off your ass and change it! It your country too. Its still the greatest country ever conceived!

The "Greatest Generation" landed man on the moon, WFT have you done?

If you halted all entitlement programs the urban areas of this country would be in flames within 30 days, if that. It would make Watts, detriot, harlem and LA after the rodney king verdict look like a little league warm up. Of course the white guilt crowd would be the first to go, all the while calling for the law to do something..

Very true, that's why it needs to be done just like it was put in place, one step at a time.

So what laws do you wish were in place to enable and ensure a society that meets your requirements?

I really only wish people would think before acting and owned the consequences of their actions. I also think that this society would be far better positioned to rise from the ashes if it returned to its patriarchal roots. This mindset that their is no need for a father to be present in the life of a child is one of those grand lies that has been repeated to the point that it is now gospel and those that would question its validity are heretics.
The other lie is this equality horse. In the history of the human experience there have always been lesser and greater, and when the last human draws their last breath that will still be true. That we are all equal under the law is not the same as saying we are all equal. A doctor performing miracles with a scalpel has far greater value than some piece of garbage running around defacing the property of others with a rattlecan like a dog pissing on every pole it sees. A young woman serving you your meal has far greater value than a scumbag lawyer holding elected office passing a law that will impact her life negatively and he is exempt from it.

But I am not wanting to pass laws to change anything except maybe ignorance. That is the only solution to this whole conundrum. Truthful information. The problem is there is no delivery mechanism in place and no will to create one.

As the late great MSG Roy Benavidez CMH stated in his 1991 speech, his instructor offered him these pearls of wisdom.
"Faith, determination and a positive attitude. A positive attitude will carry you further than ability."
Determination = will.
