It isn't logical, it isn't reasonable, it isn't even fair.

this is what they are adapting to...www.jesus-is-savior.com...

I think the ladies have adjusted to the current times since the oppression cloud is dissolving away. The cloud still remains but overall they are just adapting. I also think there are many great ladies out there with the proper mindstates its just some are on the wild side more just as the men. So 1 doesnt feel the REAL ladies have gone anywhere they are just busy helping maintain the lifestyles of today, by supporting their households and working next to their men. Nothing like a woman who can go out there and work for what she feel is hers. The independence is kind of attractive because it shows strength in the femals of the species.

...its also not the whole truth - just a part of it and, imo, not the most influential part...
...people who believe their hormones are the ultimate drivers for everything they do are avoiding personal responsibility... they're the ones that'll say "i just couldnt help it"... sometimes it is true that they couldnt help it but its not because of their hormones... its because they were raised in an environment that tolerated people making excuses for bad behavior...

...yep, valid point but its really hard (impossible for some) to do that when they're the 1000th generation of men in their family tree who see nothing wrong with screwing anything that'll hold still for four seconds and, then, not giving a damn about the kid they help make - or - the 1000th generation of woman who believes they are not a whole person unless they're attached to a man...
...we're very complex critters...

...not that you asked for my suggestion but here it is - go back to pre-white invasion polynesia... lots purtier women and a society that had no issues with nudity...

I'm not saying we all need to ascribe to some religion or another, but somewhere along the way, kids ought to learn that living at the purely physical level is limiting, immature and will waste their potential to become the full rounded responsible adults they would otherwise become. They will stay children---in adult bodies--- and be much more easily manipulated and controlled by those who do NOT have humanity's best interests at heart.

...imo, its just the age-old generation gap and it appears to be worse because the population has grown so much...
...in the late 50s when rockNroll bloomed, all i heard was - "its the devils music!" and "if we dont outlaw that crap, its the end of society as we know it!"... heard the same again in the 60s and, gosh, lets dont forget the squallin that was done over youngers telling religion to shut the hell up or when the 70s feminists started making changes in the over-indulged male-dominated work force...
...i know some believe the elite or the federal government alphabet agencies were the instigators of all that - but - i was there and i dont believe thats the case... i believe it was just absolutely normal rebellion against an archaic system - and - i think thats what we're seeing now among the youngers...

...the elite are definitely not on our side but they're not going to literally destroy all of us (not even most of us) cuz that would directly affect their coffers... we peons, lol, are part of a massive machine... some dont realize that... some only recognize the big gears in the machine (like the military industrial complex) and rant on them incessantly without the awareness that they themselves are a little bitty cog in the same machine...
...as for the moral direction of our youth - i think thats highly over-sensationalized and not just by the elite who control our media... christianity (the most powerful political block in the usofa) is doing WAY more than their fair share of putting out the over-sensationalized hooey that everythings going to hell cuz people dont wanna bow to their archaic bs anymore - but - thats nothing new... they've always been that way - liars... now we're supposed to believe their newest lie that islam is going to take over the usofa, as if that would be worse that what christians did when they invaded...

...i sorta agree but think a lot of folks take those kind of things too far and, imo, its all about protecting their ego rather than properly preparing their kids for adulthood...
...far too much pressure is put on some kids by some parents who want to live vicariously via their kid's life... some parents have always done that - many with good intentions - but - the bottom line is, their control methods teach the child to be dependent on them rather than be independent and thats a receipe for disaster, imo...
...cant blame kids for being immature cuz thats just how kids are... few come out of the shoot as perfect as me (jk)... when my kids hit puberty, they were no longer children to me and their father... they were young adults and we supported their very-normal need to question (with respect) everything... they made mistakes but thats how you learn... "dont do that cuz i said so" is the idiot path...
...the moral majority (or whatever they call themselves now) totally screwed up concepts of what a mature brain is, what a minor is, what an adult is... back in the early vietnam era, they'd send an 18yr old to fight a rich man's war but he couldnt vote... thats changed but, now, you have to be 21 to buy alcohol but you can still go to war and kill folks at 18... makes no sense at all...
...and this newager theory that a brain doesnt fully mature until you're in your late 20s or 30s is just absolute junk designed to make people think youngers need more governmentally enforced control... funny (in a putrid way) that they started pushing that hooey when over-priviledged mental midgit gwb was prez...
...btw - what the hell was the topic of this thread?... o'yeah, i remember now - where'd da real women go... ...so that we dont get fussed at for going off topic a tad, i'll tie this in by saying that REAL WOMEN dont need anyone telling them how to raise their kids, especially not some anal retentive religious freak with political aspirations... (hope that tie-in works, lol)...

...btw - the concentration / death camps in germany (as well as the previous forced segregation of jews) were just a newer version of how christians in the usofa handled the ndn problem... hitler greatly admired the genocidal maniacs called our "founding fathers" but lotsa people dont wanna see that correlation cuz it messes with their wittle bitty ego...
