When did our society start to decay? What happened?

Social media. When the average person thought that their lives were actually worth hearing about. When sounds bytes are taken as gospel. When history/fact etc., is changed in a tweet, and believed.

I don't disagree. The internet as a whole has been a bane on society. Giving voice to human scum.

Bad luck is just that, bad luck. Regardless of how much someone had it doesn't, by default, mean those that had good luck are supposed to offset it on someone else's behalf.

Being poor isn't a character flaw or crime. The character flaw comes in when because you're poor you automatically assume, and therefore demand, someone that isn't poor is obligated to take care of you.

Utterly irrelevant to what I posted, self-hating black woman. The conservative republicans exhibit the exact behavior that I cited, quite apart from your own personal opinion.

You're really not very good at this.
 
No matter what you type, I am not changing my opinion. The best family model is the one where the child is loved and nurtured, doesn’t matter if it’s single parent, traditional parents, grandparents, gay parents, transgender parents, poor, rich. It is all about love and nurturing.

Supply and demand even effects prices in a monopoly. However, we are from a monopolistic state in agriculture.

"Family farms comprise 99 percent of U.S. farms, accounting for 89 percent of production. Small farms make up 90 percent of farms, operating nearly half of farmland. Still, large family farms accounted for 42 percent of production in 2015."

There are 922 million acres of farmland in the U. S. (crop and pasture). Monsanto owns 0.005% of that or about 0.01% of all cropland.

And in opposing making marriage a reality, the democrat party wants sex out of wedlock, with zero accountability for those involved.

It's funny that you pit your sense of morals against mine, when everyone knows that leftists are the biggest shitbags on this planet.

Leftists aren't the ones who elected a philandering reality star who has porn stars spanking him on the fanny while his wife is home being pregnant President of the United States. You have no morality, at least a civilized one if your representatives represent who you are. Need me to tap that with my foot in secret code under the stall of the airport bathroom for you?

I don't see how supporting family structure and waiting till marriage to have kids = wives stuck in a marriage...

Maybe in 1940 when women didn't really go to school, but in today's world with women leading the way in Masters, and PHDs I don't see this as an issue. Unless you are claiming women can't make it on their own?

1 in 3 women are victims of violence. 1 in 3 women do not have graduate degrees.

Hello Kacper,



That's a really good point.

Republicans want to blame the poor for being poor, but they don't wish to help them climb out of poverty. Government assistance programs give many in poverty the leg-up they need to become self-supporting tax-paying productive members of society.

Rich Republicans claim that anyone can become rich in America, so there is no reason to help the needy. These are the same people who fight the inheritance tax for the super-rich. This makes no sense. If anyone can build a fortune in America, why do they seek to deny their offspring the sense of self-worth of creating their own fortune?

If the rich believe anybody can start from scratch and become wealthy, then why don't they practice what they preach?

Instead of sending their kids to high class wealthy schools and giving them an inheritance so big they never have to work a day in their life, how about the wealthy send their kids to the worst rated schools the poor are relegated to, and give them the same inheritance the poor get? Don't they really believe everyone has the same chance to become wealthy?

When the government started trusting the supernatural (god)
over the constitution. "In god we trust " on all our money.
Can anyone see the irony here? Political religious organizations tax free?
 
"In God We Trust" is the official motto of the United States of America and of the U.S. state of Florida. It was adopted as the nation's motto in 1956 as a replacement or alternative to the unofficial motto of E pluribus unum, which was adopted when the Great Seal of the United States was created and adopted in 1782.[1][2]
"In God We Trust" first appeared on the two-cent piece in 1864[3] and has appeared on paper currency since 1957. A law passed in a Joint Resolution by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by President Dwight Eisenhower on July 30, 1956, declared "In God We Trust" must appear on American currency. This phrase was first used on paper money in 1957, when it appeared on the one-dollar silver certificate. The first paper currency bearing the phrase entered circulation on October 1, 1957.[3] The 84th Congress later passed legislation (P.L. 84-851), also signed by President Eisenhower on July 30, 1956, declaring the phrase to be the national motto.[4][5][6]
Some groups and people have expressed objections to its use, citing its religious reference that violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.[7] These groups believe the phrase should be removed from currency and public property. In lawsuits, this argument has so far not overcome the interpretational doctrine of accommodationism, which allows government to endorse religious establishments as long as they are all treated equally.[8] According to a 2003 joint poll by USA Today, CNN, and Gallup, 90% of Americans support the inscription "In God We Trust" on U.S. coins.[9]
In 2006, "In God We Trust" was designated as the motto of the U.S. state of Florida.[10][11] Its Spanish equivalent, En Dios Confiamos, is the motto of the Republic of Nicaragua.[12]

Supply and demand is not a factor in a monopolistic state such as ours. Monsanto has taken over the food industry, for example. bigger homes cost more for utilities. Yeah they spend less for food and have horrible diets because of high food prices. Obesity is at an all time high because of cheap junk foods. I wish I could afford lobsters. I used to be able to buy them.

If I can't afford lobsters then the government should give me an entitlement voucher for them.

Why not? The gov gives vouchers for rich bitches for private schools.
