With all of the disturbing news that we as a country have been constantly bombarded with, I have pretty much kept my opinions to myself, but, I’m going to let it fly today!! It seems that everywhere we look there is some type of debauchery, violence or just outright vulgarity and disrespect and I am so sick of it!! The ways that people find to abuse, mistreat and use other human beings and animals too, now that I’m at it, for their own selfish means, never ceases to amaze me!! When our society began this steep decline in basic civility is not really clear to me, but, it has to STOP!!!
Where have formerly common manners gone? My daddy would have knocked a man’s head OFF for speaking in a manner that people commonly speak now in front of a lady!! Now women even speak that way in public!! STOP IT!!
People walk around dressed looking like they just dragged something out of the bottom of the clothes hamper or just plain right out trashy or weird!! Make an effort people!! We all have eyes and what kind of example is that for our children? STOP IT!!!! Have some class!!!
Laziness and whining is a way of life to a lot of people!! STOP IT!! Get up and do something, STOP being pathetic!!
Undisciplined children are wreaking havoc in our schools and other aspects of society!! REIN THEM IN PEOPLE!!!!!
Violence is everywhere!! It’s heartbreaking to learn of yet another murder or murders or outright physical violence perpetuated on those weaker and it makes me sick!! STOP IT!!!! Life in all forms is precious, RESPECT IT!!!
There are so many people who are just users out there now!! Men and women!! I know men that routinely go around lying and deceiving and using women for money, etc. and some women are just as bad!!!! It is not okay to lie and use people for your own selfish gain and to keep up an image. If you can’t afford your vices and lifestyle, make some changes!! It is not okay to treat people like objects to use and throw away when their value to you has diminished. I know women who lie around doing nothing while their man works hard all day and comes home to a cold stove and no food and I know men who do the same thing!! That is not okay!! Don’t be a leach!! Show some appreciation and pull your own weight!! It is not okay to use people!! PERIOD!! STOP IT!!!!
Mental illness seems to have become pervasive in our culture. Why? Is it because so many have been abused as a child by perverts like those that have been brought to the forefront in our news at this time?? I think that has a lot to do with it!! STOP IT!!!!
Blatant disrespect to our police and military has been running rampant!! STOP IT!! Walk a mile in their shoes and then see what your attitude is!!
Nastiness has taken over our culture via all types of medium. You can have a difference of opinion with others without having it turn into something vile!!! We all have a right to our own opinion and inflicting ours on and insisting someone else conform to our particular view is wrong. STOP IT!!! LIVE AND LET LIVE!!!!!!
Before sharing a post or a news story, verify its accuracy!! There is so much fake news going around on all aspects!! STOP spreading it around!!!!! Don’t be a part of the problem!! It’s just stupid and it hurts people!! STOP IT!!!!!
So many are prone to air dirty laundry via social media and naming names to beat it all!! STOP IT!!! It’s classless and tacky!!!
Oh yeah and men need to stop being wusses too!! If you are, man up!!! Show some chivalry and you will be pleasantly surprised at the result!!
Our country needs to return to what used to be considered common decency, manners, civility, honor and respect!! We need to honor and thank GOD who has blessed us with this great country, even with all of its flaws, which we can fix!! We need to display kindness, goodness, discipline and love!! Demand EXCELLENCE of yourself!!!! The degradation of our society does not have to continue!! We need a great revival in this country and it can start with YOU!!! Buck up and pull your own weight! Stop being a leach if you are doing so!! Be responsible and take care of your own!! Help others when you can!! Have some class and demand excellence of yourself!!!! SMILE more and spread joy instead of drama!!! Lift others up instead of tearing them down!!! Be truthful and don’t gossip!!! Be nice!!!!! It’s not that hard people!! Our country needs to be a shining example to the rest of the world and we can’t be a good example if we are falling apart at the seams!! It starts with you and me!!! Get ON with it!!!! : )
Nice rant.
Now go fix me a sandwich.
“Before sharing a post or a news story, verify its accuracy!! “
That would require reading past the headline!
"Judge Not lest Ye be Judged"
but, yes, sometimes when I see some of these zombies that roam the earth, and the direction things are going in , it makes me glad Im a short timer here (63 years old)
Yowza! I second the motion.
EXCELLENT vanity/rant!
(and thanks for recognizing the critters, while you were at it :-)
Forget the opus, you’re dead on the mark.
This ain’t the country we were brought up in, respect used to be a common thing.
It’s been downhill since the Beatles landed at JFK.
too many caps for me digest in one sitting. My stomach isn’t what it used to be...
I think you’re an Alinsky type.
So sadly true.

Police: Day Care Owner Arrested After Video Shows Her ‘Dragging And Kicking Children’

Let me urge you to read carefully Genesis 6-9—chapters dealing with the Flood. If God was really trying to describe a local flood, He surely could have written a little more clearly, for over and over again the wording demands a global flood..... In fact, I have counted more than 100 times when the wording implies a global flood.... It is true that some of the individual words could be understood in a local sense, but ‘in the context’, no other position than that of a global flood is defensible.
Consider these few quotes of the many: ‘the face of the earth (i.e. planet)’ (6:1); ‘end of all flesh… the earth is filled with violence … I will destroy them with the earth’ (6:13); ‘destroy all flesh wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven, and everything that is in the earth shall die’ (6:17). If God had intended to describe a global world-destroying flood, He couldn’t have said it any more clearly.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Well said.
He also instructed us to judge with righteous judgment.
Gotta keep things in context.
