I was just listening to "Surf City", the 1963 number one hit from Jan & Dean (even before The Beatles!) and I do believe that things were much better in an earlier time.

If I could be transported back to say 1955, I would be pretty happy because then I'd be dead before we came to these current times.

Not a small thing and not just the usual complaints from older people about negative changes. Wokeism has the real potential for disastrous results.

The Democrat party and their social programs facilitate the breakdown of the family. They are not concerned about the social consequences because it builds dependence on the government.

You’re not the only one who sees the world going to hell. I graduated high school 24 years ago, and if you had told me then that two men, or two women would be able to marry, I would have looked at you like you just grew a second head.

I just want you to know that my punctuation marks are, “!” and “?”.

If “the mothers have a different surname from her kids,” then I feel confused. Where is the father? Yes, the lack of fathers brings about numerous problems for mothers and children, such as lower incomes, lower test scores and lower church attendance.
Solution: pray, do your job and don’t worry.

I was born in 1951 and had an older brother
with a different surname from my moms prior marriage.

My oldest son will turn 56 on Election Day, November 8th. It was Election Day November 8th, 1966, the day he was born.

All my “problems” in my life are within me,.....and my fault.

Which means I can overcome them by working on and improving myself.

Or I can make peace with whatever is bothering me, if I can’t change it, and enjoy life.

When government took over as baby-daddy, it rapidly began the decline of America. It ripped responsibility away from men, and women. “Don’t worry, government will pay for your kid, food, housing…”

I remember as a young boy in GITMO, there was one boy whose parents had been divorced and his mom had remarried. We all wondered what that was all about. He seemed to always be getting in big trouble. We guessed that was because his parents had divorced.

values that kept us together fairly well until the huge cracks started in the Clinton Era onward...

I know that teenage sex has been a thing ever since we had teenagers (just look at the beach movies of the 1960s), but I do think that Bill Clinton's comment that "oral sex is not sex" pushed things out into the open and gave teens the permission they wanted to put their sexuality out into public view in ways never seen before.

I disagree that everyone should just do what they want as long as they assent. This destroys societies.

Family is a concept and a word with extraordinary meaning and when we destroy it by “any twosome” or “man plus beast” or “your harem” or whatever society is destroyed and people suffer greatly.

Marriage is one man one woman.

I think most of us can empathize (those not preoccupied with nonsense keywords, at least). No one ever expected the country that won two world wars and put man on the moon would be arguing about men getting pregnant.

Shame on us all, but most especially our so-called “leaders”.

Honestly it’s nice to have these vanities where we just chat.

Thoughts on the day, etc.

Nothing wrong with you.

My hubby is that age and I’m just a tad younger.

Oh, and we’re not the same sex.

I have always felt our country is under assault by traitors who clearly hate it. The power the traitors have has grown exponentially and the last 10 years have been the steep end of the curve, past the “elbow”. The last 2 years fed them their oats and they are running full throttle.

Yes, that all includes normalcy like MARRIED mom and dad, not just the tyranny of vaxes and BLM Brownshirts.

Fathers have been cut out of the family.

Trouble is, men and women like it that way.

You are not alone.

I am reminded of the book “Future Shock” and the psychological concept of “too much change in too short a period of time”.

I am able to adapt and absorb to the changes confronting me - but I don’t in any way like them. I no longer recognize my country. Many (if not most) of the people around me look like they are walking around in a daze (or heavily medicated). The old civilized norms of cordial conduct are dead and gone. You can still say “hello” to your neighbor but chances are he or she will call the cops on you for it.

I thank God my parents aren’t having to cope with this crap.
