there werent these violent issues in society. Then LBJ formed the Great Society and these issues started popping up. So now liberals through a society they created, want to take away the rights of the law abiding to protect themselves from the results of pasification, entitlements, prescription drugs, and every child getting a medal.


Look at this Donald Duck cartoon. Libs would flip out if this was on TV today!

I think is obvious that we do not take actaul behaviour seroius and strike out at silly things like this cartoon. The people buy video aqgmes with mass killing and think its alright.We see kids willing to konk a old lady o the ehaqd for her rpouse which nayone would know is fort Knox yet strike out at guns.We see college kinds riot ;loot and commmit violence and say they were just clebrqating a football vistory its not a sign of violence. We see people expouse civil violence and disobeyig the law and think its their right to break the law.Mnay are released and never chnarged even.Webasically Ok disobeying the law as long as it for somethig we perosnally beleive in.People shuld obney the law because its the law and we believe in rule of law. W even see presidents say they are goig to give a order for a law to be not enforced and basically ignored.

Kids knew these were make believe cartoons and not real life guns. We also had cap guns, every kid loved them, but the world was so different then...Kids also respected adults and respected their neighbors..We knew if we did something wrong, we would be punished. We were rarely treated as victoms, like the kids now...

Respect, ethics, morals. Punishment for your actions and held responsible for them.

Yes, society has changed over the decades, slowly eroding the core values.

20 years old...a product of upbringing in America today.

Go into any public school classroom today and you would be shocked when comparing it to when you went to school.
The kids are running the schools these days..one major babysitting service with "teach to the test" to move them on.

Actually violent crime and crime overall have been decreasing in the United States for awhile now. Violent crime started going up in the mid to late 1960s. It increased for most of the 70s and 80s, and hit it's peak in the early 90s. It's been falling ever since.
Crime in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FBI: U.S. violent crime down in 2011, fewer murders, rapes | Reuters

U.S. violent crime down for 5th year in 2011: FBI - Chicago Tribune

FBI — Crimes Rates Are Down

So it's false that society is becoming more violent, at least in the United States anyway.

We used to change out the strings and make them longer.
Walk up to an unsuspecting kid who thought..nah..can't reach me and POW..right in the arm with a big red circle left in its wake.

But we also knew how to play within reason. No one lost any eyes while I was growing up.

In the 40s and 50s, parents...parented.

These days...not so much. There are many great parents and kids. But for every great parent, how many do you see letting kids run wild, instilling no discipline, rewarding bad behavior and making excuses for their kids when they do wrong?
