I remember when America was normal.

[francoHFW]

Yes. I Know the truth. Transgender people are mentally ill.

And you got your PHD from where?

Life experiences and common sense guided by a superior intellect, things you grossly lack.

When they are not tolerated at all, there probably are a lot that are insane. Screw you very much bigot, I'll go with psychiatry and science and good religion and morality...

 

[beagle9]

Sometimes....when I watch old films or TV series.... from the late 1950s and early 1960s..like "Father Knows Best" ....etc...

I see when America was normal....and I like it....

It all seems so far away.... like a Lost Kingdom .....like Paradise gone.....

Depressing to see all gone.

Normal all except for the racism part yes, but the seventies, eighties, and nineties began the climb out of that situation. Just hope that the country doesn't end up being made to regret everything it has done to become inclusive.

Sadly we see some who are making this nation feel a fool for ever giving them more than an inch, and this is because they will never be satisfied until in their minds whitey is destroyed or made into a minority in which is heard in their speak in certain corners.

This goes for all those whom have allied themselves together under that specific cause.

People are smart today, and they know the difference between good decent Americans of all stripes, and they know who the race baiters, racist, and terrorist are whom want to create chaos, anarchy, and destruction in this country going forward.... It's all in order to move their special agenda's, religion's or cults forward in order to take over the country eventually from those in which they hate or see as in their way.

When idiots like Skye talk about what life was like on TV in the 1950's and 1960's, when American was "normal", I laugh and laugh and laugh. In the 1950's and 1960's we used to laugh about TV shows like "Father Knows Best" because those shows were NOTHING like real life. Shows like FKB and Ozzie & Harriet, showed an idealized view of American life that in no way mirrored reality.

It's laughable that conservatives now hold these shows up as roles models from the past. And pathetic.

Calm down you'll give yourself a heart attack.

Nobody was saying these TV shows were "role models" as such... but they were still pleasant to watch rather than some of the current progressive madness.

Normal for me, was before the vicious, aggressive, spiteful ,radical, left wing and abnormals attempted to take over.

Attempted ? Have you watched TV lately ?

Sadly now such responsible adult activities will get you kicked out of school or beat up.
Sounds like paranoid bullshit from someone afraid of "the yungins". No offense

I remember as a young adult yard signage and bumper stickers were common place. Course now that will get your property vandalized.

I really do feel sorry for today's youth. I can't imagine growing up in this ridiculous political climate where EVERYTHING you do or say is looked at through a political lense. A time when decisions you make as a 12 or 13 year old can come back to haunt you decades later as a mature adult.
You can no longer grow up as a child exploring your own path with only small amounts of guidance. Now you are groomed in identity politics and social justice to the point where differing opinions on any given subject can immediately get you ostracized if you don't adhere to the accepted liberal dogma.

Progressives are destroying two hundred years of REAL progress

If I were any calmer, I'm be sleeping. You just said these shows were examples of "normal". They were not. They were examples of the "American Dream" brought to life. Mrs. Cleaver vaccuuming her living room while wearling high heels and pearls. Nobody had a problem that couldn't be solved in 30 minutes. And everybody lived in a nice 2-storey home in the suburbs, with 2 cars and a dog.

You don’t even know what gender people are.
LMAO. Compared to you I am a rail. Fatty

When are you going to tell me what weight I should be? I've asked a few times nicely.

Are you short as well? You behave like a short guy.

Are you under 6'?

Fatty, are you hitting one me? I am 6’0 and 6’1 in sneakers. Are you identifying as a woman and hitting on me? LOL.

I behave like a short guy because I coach hoops? Mwahahahja

Fatty is reaching

Cool. You're not short. So, are you fat?

Nope. 0-2. But in fairness self defense and fitness is my line of work. Keep trying, fatty. You still have yet to answer me. Why do the feelings of one I’ll BOY matter more than 10 girls?

I answered that. You must have missed it.

What should my weight be?

Repeat it. It has less to do with weight but more with less fat. Muscle weighs more than fat. You. You’re just fat.

Because I was raised to love God & Country. My grandparents were hard working tobacco farmers for all their lives. They never ventured far from their home in Tennessee. During my youth, I spent my summers there working in the hot August fields and in the top of some bat and spider infested barns. But you know what? It felt like Utopia. The family would gather on Sundays for dinner (lunch down south) then retire to the vast fields for games of baseball until the lighting bugs blinked at sunset. America was a different place then. It was a place were a man was judged by the sweat off his brow and how he provided for his family. As grandma used to say; "I don't care if you dig a ditch for a living, just dig it to the best of your ability". They were true Americans who taught me the value and pride which comes from a hard days work.

I have tried to pass the culture to my son's. And to some extent, it is still a work in progress. It's just hard for them to see the forest through the trees. Some today get more fired up about a new release of the Ipad than it does at the prospects of employment. Sad

What would my grandparents think today of the America that turned it's back on their values? I picture the Indian with a tear in his eye (viewing litter) from the commercial years ago. The difference today is he would be reduced to a mere man on his knees viewing the cesspool society has manifested and nurtured.

The election was a referendum on the American Dream as my generation knew it. The shear fact that a little over half of us (America collectively) voted for the continued weakening of our National Sovernity is hard to stomach.

I can only hope the reason immigrants flock to America is because of the image it used to reflect, not the image of today. But as the subj: reads, I am on the slippery slope called hope and am growing more bitter by the day.

I remember being in school and being encouraged to participate in politics. We were encouraged to Express our political thoughts through both free speech and articles of clothing & or signage. Pussy hats of course would have been out of bounds because, well you know... they are vulgar and juvenile. They were trying to teach & encourage APPROPRIATE adult behavior not that stupid juvenile nonsense.
Sadly now such responsible adult activities will get you kicked out of school or beat up.


I remember as a young adult yard signage and bumper stickers were common place. Course now that will get your property vandalized.

I really do feel sorry for today's youth. I can't imagine growing up in this ridiculous political climate where EVERYTHING you do or say is looked at through a political lense. A time when decisions you make as a 12 or 13 year old can come back to haunt you decades later as a mature adult.
You can no longer grow up as a child exploring your own path with only small amounts of guidance. Now you are groomed in identity politics and social justice to the point where differing opinions on any given subject can immediately get you ostracized if you don't adhere to the accepted liberal dogma.

Progressives are destroying two hundred years of REAL progress

When I was a kid, we had to hide under your desk at school. Duck and cover. And dos mios, do the Pledge of allegiance under a chalkboard with the portrait of George Washington on the wall! There were some Hispanic kids, some blacks, some Orientals. Hell even Jews, even people from Italy or England. We all got along without this silly politically correct mandates. Even in 1968. Go figure.

I remember sitting in kindergarten when our teacher made us put our head down. When JFK was killed. I remember that clear as a bell. I also remember September 11 2001 like yesterday. 9/11 made me realize the petroleum industry is running this country/world, other wise we would have nudged Saudi Arabia like they nudged us.
.And not ignored their provocations. You know what I mean. Iraq did nothing to us, we are on it. What the hell happened to us, America?

If the culture hadn't gone bat crap crazy, then the respect would have held over time, but once the culture went stupid it was on. That was the green light for the American people to be justifiably screwed over by those who sought to separate themselves from the crazies amongst the groups.

Can't say I blame them really, I mean who wants their family subjected to what Hollyweird is pumping out today, and all the crazy trends and deplorabalisms going on today ?? It takes money to separate, and this is what has taken place for many years now.

The crazies have figured it out, and that is why they seek government power to reel it all back in. They see it as no other way, and so the attack is on for power and control.

All of this is just bullshit. It is conservatives that have gone batshit crazy over every little thing. The rest of the modern world has adapted to giving rights to minorities. Only in the USA is there this crazed response to EVERY. LITTLE. THING. Most of which has absolutely NO impact on the lives of any of the people who are getting all hysterical over it.

Gay marriage is a good example. It has absolutely no impact on anyone other than gays, and those who want to illegally discriminate against them. But you'd think that gay marriage is the end of the world as you know it given the reaction of the American right. God will punish us!!! Think of the children!!!

I've lived in a country with gay marriage for nearly 20 years now, and it's had no impact on me or my family at all. But I see the positive impact it's had on the gay members of our communities.

One of the law clerks at my last firm was married and his husband had retired early for health reasons. Our clerk was able to add his husband to his supplemental health insurance so they both had full health insurance and supplemental health insurance at family rates, which was critical to their finances as my co-worker's husband needed a walker, and expensive drugs which aren't covered by OHIP until age 65.

In cases where there is no medical power of attorney, hospitals will call upon the spouse to make end of life medical decisions where the patient is no longer able to do so. Prior to gay marriage, gay partners were shunted aside in favour of estranged family members with no idea of the patient's wishes or history.

Gay marriage became necessary when a legal hierarchy was established as to who speaks for you when you can't. If you have designated Powers of Attorney for property, and Powers of Attorney for personal care, to designate who speaks for you when you can't, you have designated your attorneys, but in the case of minor children, it's their parents. In the event you have no P/A's, the law says your spouse is first, your adult children are second, and your parents, if living, are next. The person you live with in a relationship, has no legal standing, even if you've co-habited for 20 years.

What would my grandparents think today of the America that turned it's back on their values? I picture the Indian with a tear in his eye (viewing litter) from the commercial years ago. The difference today is he would be reduced to a mere man on his knees viewing the cesspool society has manifested and nurtured.

The election was a referendum on the American Dream as my generation knew it. The shear fact that a little over half of us (America collectively) voted for the continued weakening of our National Sovernity is hard to stomach.

I can only hope the reason immigrants flock to America is because of the image it used to reflect, not the image of today. But as the subj: reads, I am on the slippery slope called hope and am growing more bitter by the day.

And the worst thing that has happened to it is the Reagan GOP give away to the rich and screw everybody else system of the last 35 years, Super Duper. We have the worst inequality and upward mobility and benefits of any modern country... The dupes don't know that but they know every detail of phony Democratic scandals and believe everybody just got lazy. Pathetic Chumps of the greedy idiot rich.

If the culture hadn't gone bat crap crazy, then the respect would have held over time, but once the culture went stupid it was on. That was the green light for the American people to be justifiably screwed over by those who sought to separate themselves from the crazies amongst the groups.

Can't say I blame them really, I mean who wants their family subjected to what Hollyweird is pumping out today, and all the crazy trends and deplorabalisms going on today ?? It takes money to separate, and this is what has taken place for many years now.

The crazies have figured it out, and that is why they seek government power to reel it all back in. They see it as no other way, and so the attack is on for power and control.

reality is like that....the only problem is poverty caused by give away to the rich GOP tax rates.

and all the brainwashing going on by the GOP character assassination and misinformation machine....
