Yep;1968 was the end of personal responsiblity and when goernamnt decide people where too stuipd to make their owndecision or take care of themselves.They decided that governamnt would become second parents and many are lost with out the government parents.
I'm sure that may be the case in a few instances but honestly I think the majority of guys just don't want to ante up. I mean, how many lifetime movies have been made about this very situation? On the other side, too many teenage girls seem to think of having a kid as like having a pet & then the real world hits them & they're like "oh crap".
I agree, and it goes back to my list, in regrds to fact that we have a degenerated culture. Men today do not go though some sort of rites of passage to prove their manhood and flex themselves against other men. Men today can do what they want (e.g, hit women, leave children) and there is ZERO accountability.
Conversely, women today are not taught the difference between a good man, and a bad one; they will just sleep with any man who looks as if he is financially successful.
Where in the world do you live? I don't know of any city in the U.S. that has video cameras on every corner..
Ok, it's not EVERY corner but I have lived in CA and PA and if you look at every major intersection (including freeways) you will see cameras at the tops of the poles. Who is looking at all this? Why? Is the cost necessary? Regardless, I don't like it; it's soooo "1984".

Sounds like freedom to me. If you don't like those things, don't participate in them, but let others decide those things for themselves.
No because these people still effect my life. How many people get killed each year from drunk drivers? How many people are victims of crime because somebody was on drugs? How can civilization ADVANCE itself if people just work, then on their down time, sit around and get high/drunk?

You mean red-light cameras. They shoot your licence plate if you run a red light, and then they send you a ticket. Boy, how can they violate the rights of red-light runners like that...
The old rose-colored rear-view mirror. If you think today's bankers are bad, well...
Trillons of dollars went missing after 9/11, you got the Enron and the Worldcom scandal. Ummm, our dollar is not backed by any gold and we don't even know if the gold we had is even in Fort Knox anymore.
And what about the bailout of 09? We all were robbed, just not at gun point.

No. I'm not talking about those cameras but many people (including myself) don't like those either. I'm telling you it's all to increase revenue. It has nothing to do with safety.

GREED. American greed is to blame. We all want a new Truck, a new Plasma TV and new this, new that. Everything now is made in China. If China said 'F*ck you Americans' we'd all be in a world of hurt.
The new generation is fat, addicted to computers, cell phones.
Watch MTV these days?
Don't want kids. Glad I don't have them!
