In the old days if a boy went into the girls locker room he would have been expelled if not sent to jail. Today they think people should have rights to live other than the physical gender they were born as. Well the illiterate people don't have to worry about going into the wrong bathrooms now. Just flick their wrist to the side and put their other hand on their waist.

Just set back and watch it deteriorate , I guess.

Yep,
Our country is going down the drain in a hurry.
An example that really disgusts me,
bruce being proclaimed a hero
Hero??
how brave he is??
Well I think of our
Troops
our Fire Fighters
our Police
and the average citizen who when the need arises, steps up.
when I think of Brave Heroes

But I have never been politically correct..

Apparently, 'trans' is a real genuine in-the-head thing, probably with some chemical imbalances involved, maybe even some other-sex 'buds' or something for all I know. I feel for these kids, it must be a bitch to handle, especially in the teen years. What I don't understand is why a kid with these problems thinks he/she ought to do the school locker room - restroom thing. What useful thing does that accomplish, for the kid, the other kids, the school, or life on Earth?

Jeez.

IMO if a kid was catching hell for being different then I like VT doubt that going into the opposite sex bathrooms would make things any easier.
The idiot lesbian Mayor of Houston wants all bathrooms open gender. How could anyone not see this is opening a huge danger from sexual predators?
When the first coming out of the closets happened in the early to mid 70's it was unreal the sick crap that came out with it. I saw interstate rest areas closed due to the homos taking over the rest areas. The rest areas were fenced off and closed.
When I was first getting into truck driving I heard all about the lot lizards, aka prostitutes, working the rest areas and truck stops.
So there I was driving at 2 A.M. and had to use the rest area facilities because mother nature said I needed to stop. I walk in and there was a guy acting kind of strange but I didn't think much about and went into a stall and closed the door. Shortly a head sticks over the stall wall and asks what time it is. Naïve me I said 2:15. The guy said thanks and that was that. I started reading the penmanship on the wall and it said for a good BJ be there at 2 A.M. Wednesday the 4th. Well it dawned on me then why the guy was acting weird and why he asked what time it was. I was right on time for a meeting I didn't know about. Just my luck instead of a whore I ran into a queer.
I was in another truck stop in Mc Allen TX and the crapper walls were all about meeting men at the nearby motel. One guy wrote, Am I the only man around here that wants a woman not a man?
That was how it was in the 70' and 80's. Now look where we are today. Forcing people to accept all gender bathrooms!
The USA is suggested as being the Babylon talked about in the bible. The Statue of Liberty which actually came from the god name ISIS, isn't that interesting, is being thought of as the whore of Babylon spoken of in the bible. In the end times the USA will be the nation to the South and Russia is thought to be the nation to the North. It even talks about who the leaders will be which seems to portray Obama and Putin. The bible says the end will come before these men leave office. If all this is true then we don't have much time left.

buster, don't forget she (Houston Mayor) made it illegal for churches/charity groups to feed people that need food!

Stop volunteers from feeding the hungry! Where is the compassion and tolerance in that?

No, this ain't the country I grew up in ether phideaux.

Jjim,
I know that the country is going to hell in a hand basket. Remember when Elvis could only be seen on the TV with the waist up? Remember coming home from the service and someone asked you where you had been and you would say something else than being in the service to avoid being spit on?
Remember when you said "yes sir" or "yes ma am" to an older person and then opening the door for them so they could go ahead of you in a restaurant or holding the door open so they could come out before you went in? But sitting back and watching it deteriorate won't make it better. Somehow, somewhere, someway we have to instill respect and patriotism again. I still thank a young person when they open the door for me. I politely say "thank you young feller". Many times I get a "your welcome". I say hi to stranger especially when they are older and I say "hi young feller" and many, many times I receive a smile and a hi back. One thing I will never do is GIVE UP. We fought for our country and so did our forefathers and their forefathers. We fought for the flag that flies over our buildings and houses on Memorial day, 4th of July and Veterans Day. As for me, I fly my flag everyday with lights on it at night. I am too damned old so let some little snarkey bast**d walk on my flag without saying something. I might get my ass beat, but it won't be the first time and damned sure not the last. All of this for one reason: I am an American!!!

Respectfully, the title of the thread should be "How far we have slid".
My dad always said that "You can justify anything if you want it bad enough". We are where we are, and headed where we are going, because the majority (or, in many cases, simply the loudest voices) want these changes. I am not part of that majority. I believe in moral absolutes, that transcend culture, time, and the supposed wisdom of man. When there are no more absolutes- ideals that can't be changed by men- what we see are the natural results. Some believe that once these cultural changes are accepted, we will have a better country. I don't believe that for a minute. The slide will pick up speed, and the US will one day be like ancient Rome.

I don't know if there are 'moral absolutes', or ethical absolutes either; but I have had them for a long, long time, so in that sense at least they exist. What has puzzled me is how I came by them. My family didn't lecture me on them, and I've never been a churchgoer. No subjects like that at school. While I was growing up, the family was always one lingering illness or two lost jobs away from welfare (as it was practiced then in Vermont). So Choate and/or Harvard weren't responsible either.

Maybe the problem nowadays is that morality and ethics aren't floating about in the air?

BINGO!!! At least that's my thoughts.

I believe there is a hidden clause all politicians have to sign. I will accept money as my only oath to office.

I had to come back to this. Damn it Jim, you are right. My generation didn't see it coming; the next generation grits teeth and bears it; the next doesn't like it but it's part of the landscape.

That scenario applies to way too much. Not crooked/bent politicians though, they were around in Andy Jackson's time.

 

[phideaux]

I remeber as a kid..... you never seen any ads about Kotex...
Then it was plastered all over everywhere, later on, about feminine hygeine...

We dont even think about it now..its totally accepted and ignored as they discuss tampons every 5 minutes on every station today.

Cialis and Viagra ads are everywhere... glad I dont have young girls now that I have to explain that to.

Heck, thats just a very mild example of where we have come in my lifetime.

What my generation tolerated is now accepted as normal..

My wife teaches dance at a local university...........................she says that this generation is pretty helpless, and that it's hard to tell sometimes, whether a guy is a guy or a girl. Metrosexual is the politically correct term they use for it. I like the term girly men myself..............................................

 

[buster40c]

That's why the now crowd blames us for how things are now. They think we should have stopped it long ago but now the young ones aren't saying squat except be more tolerant of the crap going on now. Sounds very familiar doesn't it? In the future their kids will ask why their parents didn't stop what was happening. Then again I doubt that will happen because those young kids will have no idea how it once was. Especially since the history books will be sure not to mention the past foundational history of this country. No they will learn how Obama transformed this country into the socialist dictatorship it became.
Kids now are being taught the government knows best so they will let the government lead.
Can you imagine in the future that what we have as common things will probably be considered luxury items. Cell phones, computers, and electric games will not even be around. If they are then only the few rich people will have them. Old song by Tennessee Ernie Ford lyrics... one day older one day deeper in debt, I owe my soul to the company store. Replace store with government and that will be true of the future in this country.
