Clint Eastwood sorely misses his tough youth, insisting America has gone soft since.


The 78-year-old actor claims life was simpler and easier in his upbringing during the depression - when problems were solved using fists rather than a therapist's couch.

Eastwood tells the January edition of Esquire magazine, "Everyone's become used to saying, 'Well, how do we handle it psychologically?'


Eastwood: 'America Has Gone Soft'
Wow, "soft" -- at first I thought he was talking about the obesity epidemic you see outside L.A. burrito stands these days, but then he's really talking about how Leftist pseudo-science has gained in prominence, to the detriment of the nation.

"Therapist couch", now who would want to wallow in that milieu? with those pervs?

Eastwood is, of course, totally right.

Science, the biggest threat to the right wing. When Eastwood was a youth blacks were segregated and treated like dogs, does Clint wanna go back to that?

Threat to the Right Wing? LOL!!!!

It's the leftists that are afraid to let science into the debate, they cling to their egalitarian falsehoods like a religion.

My favorite is the Leftist who tells us "that we're all the same", then refuses to admit that science and nature tells us we aren't.

We are told to celebrate diversity, but not including genetic or scientific factors.

It's the Left that is afraid of science and nature!!! If they ever realized what science tells us, it would burst all of their made-up theories about mankind and the world.

Blacks were not treated as "dogs". Since appeasement of the Negro took place in 1964, and Blacks are now free to roam in almost feral state in our cities, the Black illegitimacy rate has soared to 70%, whereas before it was far less. There is more Black criminality, and much higher incarceration, murder, rape, and robbery rates today too. Bill Cosby talks about this. Black crimes against Whites never used to occur in large numbers, today they are epidemic.

Why did you bring Blacks into this thread?

I always thought Clint Eastwood was a bit of a dolt, and he's now proven it. Yeah, let's go back to solving problems with senseless violence. What a great step forward that would be.

Peachy has a point here. It seems that the left supports science only when it supports their agendas but dismiss it when it doesn't.

Peachy does have a point about that, but Eastwood has no point. Not solving problems with your fists is not a left v. right issue. It's a civilized person v. barbarian issue.

Although I do believe current generations of Americans have become more emotionally soft and less able to cope with problems as earlier generations, I do not believe that violence is the answer. I do think that current generations have become more hyper sensitive and easily offended and we need to go back to some of the resiliency displayed in previous generations.

Oh I totally agree. Violence is NEVER an answer unless it is self-defense.

America has definitely evolved. In some ways good. In some ways bad.

Come on, calm down. When Eastwood talks about "fists" I'm sure he using it metaphorically.

I only wish his therapy reference was a metaphor.

What about all the drugs the pervs are pushing on the women? the kids too?
