None of what you speak of resembles anything we see in our daily lives.
Must be the reason we moved out of the big city and into the countryside.
Life is very different once you leave the urban centers of this country.
You’re falling in line with the spirit of these accusations.
The accusations are the only thing that’s changed recently.
Hear, hear!
If you let this wave of accusatory reports affect how you think about reality, then your ability to think independently is probably very minimal.
During the 1940s, we had WWII. People were on their knees praying for their sons, fathers and relatives that were fighting. The 50s were sort of that way as the US became THE world power. We had the revolution in the 60s where we were searching for the meaning of life. The 70s became a slippery slope,especially with the Roe/Wade case. It was the beginning of devaluing life and respect for others and a distinctive move against our Creator. It’s been downhill ever since and the further from Him we get, the faster we go. The further we get from God, the closer we get to the evil one and the more we behave that way. Read Galatians 5 for the differences. A reckoning is coming though.
A big Amen to that.
NellieMae for congress !!!

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!!!!!!
The author makes some good points but loses me when she yells about people's trashy clothing in one paragraph, but screams that we should "live and let live" in another paragraph. "Live and let live, people! Unless I don't like your clothes!! In that case, clean up your freaking acts!!!!!"
The author needs to dial it down about 30 notches and drop the hypocrisy.
Excellent rant!
I’m trying to be a civilizing revolutionary in this society by dressing nicely, speaking respectfully, acting kindly. Maybe if every conservative would do that we could start a change in this country. And let’s pray for revival because it is a spiritual problem at heart.
Just one Judge.
Darn tootin’!
It started with the 1960s and the Sexual Revolution, IMO. The only good thing to come out of that era was the music. No doubt this stuff was aided and abetted by the usual Marxist suspects.
This sudden trend in women accusing men is an attempt to create a new narrative.
Don’t let it affect the way you think, the way you speak or the way you behave.
The only guide for behavior is the word of God.
We have lived south of Houston and east of Los Angeles, back and forth five times, since 1973. So when we retired we built our dream home 11 miles outside of the nearest large town. We are out in the boondocks. LOVE IT! Surrounded by trees, coyotes, deer, etc. If we don’t want to see other people out here, we don’t have to. Going into town is a town of 6000 people and one stop light... Heavenly!
Sudden trend? My brother in law tried to rape me when I was about 12 years old. My cousin molested me when I was just five and had NO idea what he was doing to me. There were several other incidents like these that happened to me when I was younger. I worked at a bank in the mid 70s and one of the bosses would come up behind me and grab me around the waist. Another boss would talk dirty to me, tell me filthy jokes, then when I was shocked, and didn’t laugh, he would say, “I feel sorry for your husband, you are frigid” No, I was NOT frigid, I was a newlywed and this boss was an old creep. I quit that job. There was another similar job where the boss was a creep, I quit that job, too. Back then, 1970s, there was no HR department to go to. You just put up with this crap or quit the job. No new narrative. I didn’t press charges because I didn’t want to go to trial. I walked away from perfectly good jobs, to get away from creepy bosses. I hope and pray that my granddaughters don’t have to put up with crap like this. But this kind of harrassment and attempted rap, is not a new narrative. Women are finally coming forward.
Entropy.
Things just get worse until it fails. Dies. Then it decays, then it disappears into the ground.
Only two creatures on the planet repair things. Humans and Beavers. A cat knocks a chair down, and it will never, ever pick it up. The natural tendency of.. well.. nature is to fall down.
We’re losing that humanity, and we’ve stopped repairing things. Only one thing is left - it will all die and need to be reborn.
There is a casualness to society that doesn’t offend me. I don’t want to have that mixed in with violence and abuse.
Also, women were abused and raped as were children all throughout history, but often had no recourse. Today we hear about these things and we allow victims to talk about what happened to them, and society supports victims today.
There has always been evil and there will be evil for some time longer. We are dealing with it BETTER. We don’t tell a child to hush up about what Uncle John did to her any more. Things are actually getting BETTER.
“Show some chivalry and you will be pleasantly surprised at the result!!”
I’m gonna try that. Thanks. I’ll report back.
that was uncalled for
