echi,

Well, I for one believe America is in moral decline and quite honestly cannot understand how someone would think we aren't.

Mass murders, school shootings, paedophiles, serial killers, etc. Kids killing their parents. Everyone wanting to do what they want to do. The, "it's right for me" mentality is destroying this world IMO.


It looks like MA is spouting the same old sky is falling scenerio with once again no stats to back it up. She makes it seem as though greed, mass murders and paedophiles are a new phenomonen.

What is worth noting though is that 50 years ago a large portion of the U.S. was segregated. 50 years before that, women were thought too stupid to be allowed to vote. 50 years before that, blacks were bought and sold and treated like cattle.

I guess they saw the jackal lurking in the bushes...

Me, gay? Hail no.
Seriously, I was having breakfast in a restaurant with a male friend the other morning. As we got up to leave, I said I have make a rest room stop. He said he did too. As we two men walked toward the restroom, he asked me in earshot of a bunch of elderly people, "Have you seen Brokeback Mountain?" My answer was a macho-intoned "Hail no."
G'night again.

This downfall of America's society, what past period of America's society are you holding up as superior? Why do you consider it superior?

You cannot have a "downfall of America's society" unless there was a period of time in which America's society was superior.

I am not convinced there was an overall superior past period.

When I was a little boy, I went to summer camp. Camp Kappe. It was friggin' terrible. I hated damn near every second of it. Especially like the time I did the number two and then the girls walked in and the toilet was broken, oh...
Anyway, I usually remember it very fondly, nowadays. How I wish I could go back to Camp Kappe. We used to sing songs around the campfire. Hell, we sang songs everywhere... all the time.

Cookie, Cookie, Listen while we sing to you,
Cookie, Cookie, You're a part of this camp, too,
Anyone can make a bed, Anyone can sweep,
But it takes a Cookie to make us food to eat, SO!
Cookie, Cookie, Listen while we sing to you...



How I long for yesteryear.

You've been born into it, mesquite, so you are desensitized to what she's referring to. As for America, she does have some good points to make. Instead of totally disregarding everything she says with the sweep of a broom, why not just consider that she just might be right on a few things. Open your mind a little and consider other possibilities.

Me too echi. There was a certain innocence about that time of our lives. I miss it too sometimes.
