What I am saying is maybe the good ol' days weren't so good after all.
No era or time period is perfect. And this era certainly isn't.

What we, as a country, will see is an even greater divide between the haves and the have nots. The greatest percentage of the out of wedlock births occur in the less educated and poorer populations. Single parent households produce greater poverty. It is a vicious cycle. Unfortunately it is intentional. A greater dependent class is what the left needs to hang onto power.

When you push such abominations as gays marrying and free sex for women don't be surprised when the social fabric of the country declines substantially.
Yep. 100% true.

Disagree completely.

Gays can't reproduce, and free sex isn't the problem, banning abortion clinics and condoms won't solve anything. The problem is people with higher expectations in their relationships and refuse to get with someone they consider beneath them or someone who can't do something for them. Love still exist for those who see past green. Most people don't see past green, no one is going to work with someone anymore, you must be self made from day 1. People who are constantly single end up having sex due to lust of passion. If every woman was in love with Joe the plumber you wouldn't have this issue.

That's the real issue.

But society can't handle a situation whereby illegitimacy has become "the new normal". That has to change. We have to incentivize marriage and chastity, and disincentivize promiscuity. Restricting access to contraception will be an essential component of this effort.
Your obsession with other people's sex lives is disturbing.
