As a nation we have been going down the drain quickly. Over the last several years we have been bombarded everywhere we look with all kinds of evil. The Libertarians say “close your eyes if you don’t like it after all it’s my choice to see and do as I please”. Over the last few years on my Facebook page I have been arguing with them over the fact they want to make drugs & prostitution legal.
Our nation slips ever so slowly into more and more filth and no one seems to see it or care. Now the courts have ruled that nudity on TV is ok.
Bottoms Up Court Ruling Opens Doors For More Nudity on Local TV

We are sexual beings and nudity does bring our minds to sex often times. Depending on our mood. Human nature. You see cloudy skies... you think rain.
Hitting the TV remote button to “off” is the moral equivalent to flushing a commode. Yet the stench lingers on around us in our sick TV-ized society.
I think most of us old guys were about that age when we got our first peek at a Play Boy, Penthouse or Hustler. I think I was about eight or nine when I found my older brother's Oui. It had a lot of freaky lesbian crap.
Back then, it was more or less hidden. These days, society celebrates every depraved act imaginable.
Placemark for pingout.
If you want a bubble, do like my wife and I did right before our first was born and throw away the TV.
And those magazines are a factor in where we are today.
Many things are better left in the closet. No, they’ll never be entirely gone but, put in a place where they do not effect every aspect of life and where someone has to actually looking for it instead of an in-your-face, glorified, idolized, replacement for God and holiness.
One would think sex is the only thing that really matters in our society anymore, personal gratification at any cost.
The ultimate in intolerance is telling someone to restrain themselves.
Proud to say that the only woman I have ever had sex with is my wife . Guess I’m a weirdo .
Naw, I don’t want to be in that sterile of a bubble:) although I must say I’m in awe of you for being able to go entirely without it! I need to have the occasional “company” of one and will admit, the Sprout channel does keep my grandson occupied long enough to give me a little break here and there.
“And those magazines are a factor in where we are today.

Guess you said it better first. Yes, it certainly felt better back when people kept some of their own doings, not to mention personal entertainment, more private. Funny that someone actually mentioned the 50s, when in fact, it reminds me of the show I Love Lucy, where the two leading roles, even though they were married on the show and in real life didn’t even share a bed on TV. Odd, but I guess the TV producers actually cared quite hard about content on TV, given that now most television shows have become the exact opposite - mow most of your shows are about or at least feature people who aren’t married living and doing all sorts of things together in the home.
Anti-porn writer Gail Dines claims that the average age boys start looking at porn is 11 years old. I shudder to think what sort of mental baggage these young men will be carrying into their marriages.
It’s worse than that. Think about the fact that 11 yrs for a guy is a time where the guy is developing as well, think about what having information of premarital or extramarital relations, homosexuality, and who knows what else in your mind at that early stage of adolescence, the vast prospects aren’t exactly pretty.
“when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
[22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
[23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
[24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
[25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator” - Romans 1
Drugs, all drugs, were legal for purchase up to around 1912. So, from 1776 to 1912 drugs, opium, morphine, cocaine were legal for purchase by anyone. Why wasn't the country destroyed during that time by drugs? Why would it be destroyed today by drugs? Someone, who believes that actually has zero faith in his fellow Americans. And calls for all-powerful government to keep his fellow Americans in line.
Here are the fact, drug prohibition went along with alcohol prohibition as the little brother in the progressive/liberal project to control Americans for a promised brighter future. How's that hope and change working out for you? And why are conservatives the strongest defenders of the progressive project? Idiocy.
Public education was launched in the 1820's as a socialist/liberal/do-gooder project to raise children away from the beliefs of their Christian parents. Government schools are socialist organizations defended as such by socialists to prove to Americans, they have nothing to fear from socialism. Why do conservatives insist on "reforming" public education? Is socialism capable of reform? Nope, it's not. And 50+ years of failure in reforming government schools ought to be enough for anyone to come to that conclusion.
I think you missed the point...It’s not all about the nudity...Its about the American culture. We have come down so far that now what is good is evil and what is evil is good...
All is excepted in American culture as long as it is bad....If its good its not.
It is more than nudity its about the sexualization of America and our kids We put all this in the heads of our kids an then wonder why the world is like it is...
I'm glad I got my 57 years in during it's golden era.
Exactly. Back then, me and my friends were curious about them because they were forbidden. We knew damn well that we had better not get caught looking at them.
Somehow, between then and now, we moved to a point where they're trying to teach masturbation and "fisting" in grade school.
I miss our "innocence."
If it weren’t for sex there wouldn’t be an American society.
From John Derbyshire:
The question: “Why should I not do as I please within the law, so long as I harm no-one else?” would, at all earlier times, have drawn one or both of the answers: “Because it offends God” or “Because you will become a social outcast”.
The first of these has no force for our new elites, who do not believe in God; the second is not only without force for them, it is without meaning. To exclude a person from one’s drawing-room because their personal pleasures are aberrant would be “discrimination”.

Has there ever in history been a great society that didn’t end?
Of course not, but it’s really that given modern technology, this society we live in could collapse faster than prior empires did. I think the problem that a lot of people have though, is confusing inspiration from God with infallibility. Numerous empires that Christianity and its predecessors, the Jews, and the Israelites, lived under the dominion of fell, but they outlasted them. I think though, even though I hope this doesn’t happen, the event of America falling, most of our religions will outlast it and keep going, much less it still being an inspiration for future republics to form as well.
