Us older folks remember things the younger folks never saw. Husbands and wives were not allowed in the same bed on TV. Words like "Damn" and "Hell" were thought to be crass and unacceptable in mixed company. Language, written on Tee shirts and spoken was respectful and suitable for young and female ears. People were polite and gave up their seats for the elderly and for woman. Men respected women and opened doors for them and helped them with their chairs. Women entered before men. And people were respectful of one another. All these good things have gone by the wayside and look at what we have now.


Semper Fi

===============
Our social decency is gone; and moral decay is now the "New Normal". It turned 180 degrees into vulgar and immoral culture. So many people became narcissistic, immoral, criminals, selfish, haters, rapists, terrorists, thieves, and lost all kinds of civilized human behavior.

I can recall it got worst since Clinton was the president from 1993 to 2001. Why? People follow the leaders. It got worst under Mr. Obama when most blacks want to separate from the white. Then came so many protest and violence on the streets when BLM was empowered at the WH. Then so many other followed like ANTIFA, CAIR, ISLAM RADICALS, ILLEGAL ALIENS, DACA, MS-13 GANGS, HOLLYWOOD IMMORALITIES, arrogance, and narcissism.
Some of the reasons:
The influx of so many illegal aliens who don't have loyalty and patriotism to our country.
The invites of so many Muslims who many of them are terrorists, and whose goals are to taking this country away, and kill the infidels for their god. While taxpayers feed them, they multiply fast, isolate, don't assimilate, and plan ways to kill us.
Those so many alien professors teaching and brain washing our kids of progressive and liberal behavior.
Those so many free loaders who depend on taxpayers, and live the training of their kids to public schools.
Those so many women who abort or don't abort but make babies without fathers to guide children as they grow up.
Those drug dealers who poison our people as they reap billions of dollars out from our country.
Those who focus on making hundreds of millions of dollars via all illegal and criminal means.
Those who lost focus in the Christian faith, and left their ways into satanic life.. E.g. The influence of that FICTION book, "The Vinci Code" of Dan Brown, had eroded the Christian faith and morals, both in the US and in Europe. Therefore most people now turned into the powers of Satan, and Islam, where rape and terrorism are justified especially now in Europe.
The erosion of public school system, which is now are manipulated by greed of the Labor Union, where teachers who are non-performing could not be removed, thus public schools performance went down to the lowest among 3rd world countries since 2010.
Kids no longer thought Civics and History in public schools. Why are they dumb? US public schools' performance rank lowest in Math, Science, Reading, and History, among world countries. It is shameful.
The establishment of "political correctness", instead of the guidelines of our "Constitution".

I appreciate your comments here, L-J. They remind me of a quote, "Take care of your thoughts when you are alone, and take care of your words when you are with people." Not exactly the Golden Rule, but one would do well to remember it.

BTW, your posts generally seem to follow the above advice. I wish more would follow yours and MtnMamma's lead more consistently...although, IMO, this thread has been an exceptional one.

I too wish I could be as expressive. This is why I wanted the Ladies here to post more. lindajoy, kancune, auntie, mt mamma and all. You'all can bring a different level of discourse here. Maybe through your Motherhood you can help clean this house of all the dogs that are here. I will help all I can. When I was a boy, if we had a dog and it couldn't or wouldn't hunt for it's own food, then it starved. We had very little table scraps and what there was went into the Slop Bucket, for the hogs. The point I'm trying to make is that the more we give these dogs a forum the more we give them the Slop Bucket. Ignore them and they may not go away but maybe at least become more civil.
