Yes, Duende, it is true that each generation has dispaired over the behavior of their young people. I am not convinced it is a hopeful sign, perhaps it is, or is it only by the grace of a merciful God who has not yet chosen to put His blessed foot down and end this dispicable sinfulness? I think at the Final Judgement we will know, but not until then.

Obsessive sex culture: as I reflected upon my life hourney, one can look at TV and the changes.. I remember as a teen watching soaps after school or watching Dallas at night. This is where people sleep around, cheat, lie etc.
Cable was the next step and the advent of MTV.
And the culture..what sells to the demogrphics of the younger folks: sex sells. All over the world actually.. lol Lots of people are obsessed... So the TV folks, in it for the money (except PBS) started promoting shows, products that infer many things. You'd think we would be saturated.. clearly not.
I agree people were short-sighted.. and I think that has to do with a certain level of idealism.. that there are simple solutions for often complex societal issues. For one, acces to education. This was limited back in the day. Wel lthat has changed and women are now having higher acceptance and graduation rates than men. Does it change things yet.. but is the alternative to limit women's education? of course not.
Now if we all could fix it here on the internet...lol

I like you too, Sasha, but don't try to tell me what I may say or when I may say it.
My friend, your admin has lost you the right to say anything, at all till your boots are on my land. Period.
When you get your boys out of there, we will talk about a horde of issues.
I say, when you get those boys out of there because you are the one who keeps beating about democracy and all that in the US. Till you occupy our lands, you are not just idiots but the worst criminals in the world, war criminals!
It has nada to do with hatred at all, but with plain simple truth. Why should I ever come to hate a country that has nothing from my point of view, it's bankrupt and stands as a war criminal across the world.

Patty, I am allowed to participate in this thread because I have consistently confessed my national sins and have sought expiation. As a side-note, and returning to topic, even though �pan-Islamism� is the big spooky bugaboo against which the secular, militant and increasingly unified West �not to mention the Zionists- must presumably fight, I sometimes wonder if it would be better not only for Muslims but for all of us if Muslims predominantly within the Middle-Eastern region could merely (Servie smiles): (1) abandon nationalism and all nationalistic aspirations (Palestinians in this case notably included); (2) form a working and effective Commonwealth; and (3) reestablish the Caliphate. Not necessarily in that order. The above, by the way, is meant to be sung to the tune of John Lennon�s ode to atheistic Marxism, Imagine. Serv It�s Just what we needed: Hillary Clinton is the new Gertrude Bell! |

I have every right to say whatever I believe....unlike some who are denied that right by their corrupt "governments." I am fully aware of the many faults of my country, Sasha. What makes you think "I" could get our MEN out of there???????? There is nothing I would rather see then all American men and our allies' men back in their homelands.
Whatever you write has EVERYTHING to do with hatred. Even with the difficulties my country has at this time, I do not blame anyone but my government, and the greediness and spoiled brat mentality of many Americans. I was not raised with money, therefore, I do not miss it. I am blessed, you see. I don't need or want money. I have the woods, the animals of the woods, food on my table, a loving family (even though my mother is dying of a horrible illness), and most of all I have FAITH IN GOD that HE will take care of all this. I have peace and I have freedom. Yes, I want American men home where they belong! Don't put this on me.....I have no control over it whatsoever, but if I did, they would never have left US soil in the first place.
Oh, America has many troubles and problems, it has had many times in the past too, but I believe it will still survive as long as we believe in God and the fundamentals our country was founded on. The bottom line is this, Sasha, even if there were no troops in the ME, Afghanistan, etc., you would still hate America and the West. It consumes you.
I hope you find peace of mind one day,
Patty
