Also, since homosexuals do not reproduce or Ave natural born children, they have no interest in the future. It’s all about the here and now. For a country to survive and prosper there needs to be future vision and plan. This is sadly starting to seep into heterosexual society also as fewer young people have families.

Homosexuality has destroyed every culture, every civilization, it was allow to flourish in. People just don’t want to hear the truth, that’s all.

licentiousness

A beautifully description word that does not get nearly enough usage these days. And boy howdy, it could get used a lot.

A Roman historian, or observer, wrote that toward the end, everyone in government was homosexual, and anyone not a homosexual could not get into government. That has already started in our universities.

I have read elsewhere that is the case with the burrough councils of NYC. Anyone on FR from the NYC area care to offer their observation?

That's already true at the New York Times. The entire editorial at the Times is homosexual.

Homosexuality also destroyed the Greek empires…

Homosexual practices were common throughout ancient Greek history. They didn't get in the way of the Greeks being ferocious fighters.

What doomed Rome was complacency and the affluence that led them to indulge all their appetites. They came to rely on foreigners to defend them, and the foreigners couldn't be counted on to do that.

Empires have limited lifespans. It's not easy to tell what were reasons for their decline and what were symptoms of that decline.

Was I supposed to disagree with the historian?

I was just giving my opinion.

As civilizations fall, all kinds of decay set in. Men will not serve in their own country’s defense and outsiders must be hired to do so or offered citizenship if they fight. Morality declines and all manner of sin enters the picture. Ethnic wars arise. Gender confusion erupts. Hatred of their own culture shows up. Many things begin to happen as it rots from the inside out.

then there’s no room left for historical analysis. Civil wars, disease, currency debasement, elimination of the middle and farming classes, corruption, etc., all become irrelevant. There’s nothing left to teach.


Not sure how you arrive at that conclusion. It just changes the focus.

For me history is studying the nature of man and it isn’t pretty, but it is interesting.

Throw God into history and you see design, not randomness.

Regarding science, I think George Washington Carver said it well:

“When I was young, I said to God, ‘God, tell me the mystery of the universe.’ But God answered, ‘That knowledge is for me alone.’ So I said, ‘God, tell me the mystery of the peanut.’ Then God said, ‘Well George, that’s more nearly your size.’ And he told me.”
― George Washington Carver

In the late days of the Roman Empire:

“So that is why a large part of the western military was made up of Germans, not many citizens wanted to join because it would have been a downgrade of their standard of living”

Is the US headed to this as the only way it can fulfill the military’s yearly personnel recruitment requirements?
