The attitude that “illegal aliens are just doing the work Americans won’t do” is totally bogus. If Americans had not aborted their children, there would be plenty of teenagers to do the work “adult Americans” won’t do.
Illegal aliens are taking the place of 52 million aborted children.
I can’t stop laughing!!
Child sex is nothing new.
Any large event draws strippers, drug dealers, prostitutes and pimps, and other low lifes to cater to those attending.
The Super Bowl is a huge event, and those attending disproportionately have a good bit of disposable income. I see no particular reason to think there is more child sex at Super Bowl than for any similar event.
Sex with children is probably less acceptable than in the past. Movies a few decades back used to routinely contain jokes about it, like wanting to die at 90, in bed with 12 year old twins.
Little known but entirely accurate factoid: Until late 19th century, the age of consent in UK and most US states was 10 years old. So our morals have improved in that regard.
That is why we only do take and bake at Papa John’s, we were noticing dog hair in the complimentary cookie dough.
[The other thing that needs to be discussed is how organized “Churchianity” has been the spiritual arm of the left over the last century. ]
Yup there has been a LOT of money flowing into churches to promote “feel goodism” and to discourage “fire and brimstone” thinking.
Wholeheartedly agree.
Quite true, plus how many times do we hear of a company advertising for workers, they have 36 jobs available, and over 1,000 people show up to apply? We don’t need foreign workers.
I think this is overdone. Yes, there are societal problems that are significant because they reflect the moral decal in cultures and communities (like flash mobs and knockout game). But the individual depravity, bestiality, etc. are probably no more common now than they have been for centuries. They’re just reported now for us to wallow in, because the media makes money from attracting our prurient eyeballs.
Isn't it usually cold out that time of year?
That seems like it would be an inconvenient place to have sex.
What are the children there for then?
What political party has divided everyone in to little victim groups that are to hate everyone else? What political party divides everyone in to little groups in order to gain power? What political party has encouraged lawlessness? What political party rewards and celebrates sexual and moral deviancy? What political party has been in control of public education and social services for 100 years?
The Republicrats make me sick because they're not Conservative. They continually grope across the aisle to stroke the other party's members!
Our political system is rotten from the top down and from the top court down to the JPs!
We've got a stinking filthy mess on our hands and we don't have a clue as to how to clean it up!......YET!
Really? In most US states the age of consent was 10? What constitutes most? More than half? I guess I can drudge through the underbelly of the net and look for myself.
I find it so interesting that your comments indicate that you don’t subscribe to stories being a reflection of the state of our nation. I wonder, what would it take to make your jaw drop and state that yes, there is moral rot.
Just curious, thanks
I believe the Pill made Roe v. Wade possible.
Sick stuff.
PING!
Signs that Satan is becoming more and more desperate as his time draws short. The final belly flop into the lake of fire is getting closer and closer.
With the rise of urbanization and the industrial revolution, UK started an avid campaign to raise the age of consent and protect children from prostitution in the growing number of brothels. So it was the industrialization of sex work and the sheer number of "clients" forced upon child sex tools that took sex out of the realm of "harmony with nature" that had existed in farm communities and occasioned reform. Rather than common-law, which generally meant age of menarche in girls and age of pubic hair in boys, statutory age of consent laws were passed for the protection of children.
The rise of early feminism at that time also concerned itself with girls or young women who were "seduced and abandoned" or who were divorced, since they at that time could not own property or otherwise support themselves and their children if the breadwinner abandoned them. Marriage was an economic unit and those who committed adultery or who alienated a father from his wife and children were committing a punishable economic crime. IMO, this is still the case, but the libs don't want to admit it, insisting that saying that the earning power of a woman with mouths to feed is equal to that of a man who has dumped them will make it so.
I look at things from a science background.
With the exception of the tech related stories, I can guarantee you there is nothing in any of these stories that has not happened in the past. A core principle of conservatism is that there is and will be nothing new in human nature. So there’s no new depravity out there.
Moral decline consists not of the invention of new depravities, but of an increase in the old ones. Determining whether such an increase is underway requires accurate statistics. Impressionistic anecdotes just cannot answer the question.
Example: most people of today assume young children are at greater risk than in the past from sexual predators. The result has been parents being much more protective of children, who no longer roam neighborhoods in packs, as they did when I was growing up.
But are children really at greater risk today, or do the incidents of child predation just receive more publicity than 40 years ago?
I’ve tried for some years to find out, but accurate statistics are difficult or impossible to come by.
Here’s a link to a table of age of consent laws in history I ran across a while back. Till the later 19th century many countries had no such laws. The first date in the Table is 1880.
A 1576 law in UK established age of consent at 10. This was carried over in most US states till late 19th century, when the age was generally raised. In Delaware in 1880 the age of consent was 7!

I find this interesting because conservatives so often think of the past as a shining period of moral purity relative to today. And in many ways that’s true.
But the age of consent laws show VERY clearly that the story is more complicated than that. The true story is neither the unbroken march towards utopia of progressives nor the slide down the slippery slope of conservatves.
Not entirely accurate.
Statutory law in England was passed in 1275 and 1576, variously making the age 10 or 12 as interpreted.

The Industrial Revolution did not invent the brothel, though it probably made them more widespread and concentrated. It is almost certain it didn’t make prostitution more common, but prostitution in the country areas was probably a lot more informal and free-lance.
