How about Mcarthyism ? God forbid someone finds out you are gay... And fughertaboutit if you are black.
It all looks good on paper but I can assure you that we are better off today as a society.
Holy smokes.. The ones shooting people here and "over there" are the folks like you, that don't like what this place has become! Imagine just for a second if everyone took a deep breath and accepted people for who they are.. You know... "Love thy neighbor".
Think on that.
Good night

"one can have very solid family values in today's society"
I didn't say no one has decent family values today, I said
fewer of us do. When those values decline, and they are declining rapidly, bad things happen.
"Is your wife wishing she was back in the 50's?"
Hell, yes.
"A wife in the 50's was pretty much supposed to be a shadow and servant of her husband. "
Not in my family.
"How about Mcarthyism ?"
Every time period has its screw-ups. Today, we force Christians out of business who want to act according to their beliefs. Today cops are painted as racist assassins.
"I can assure you that we are better off today as a society. "
No, you can't. I would vehemently disagree. Didn't you say on this post, something to the effect of "what's wrong with people today?"
"The ones shooting people here and "over there" are the folks like you"
They're not anything like me.
"Imagine just for a second if everyone took a deep breath and accepted people for who they are.. You know... "Love thy neighbor".
I wish for that as well. But as I said, the sense of feeling obliged to others, is rapidly diminishing, and as today's kids spend half their waking hours on electronic devices, we will be even further disconnected from each other.
"Think on that"
I think about it a great deal. That's why I know I am correct.
"Good night"
You too!
Nebe, find someone, anyone, who has been a teacher for 30+ years, ask them how society is changing, if it's getting better or worse.
Our moral compass is so fu*ked up, it's hard to describe. A Democratic presidential candidate had to apologize for saying "all lives matter". That's just super.
