The baby boomers are going to become a burden...and money is more important that sustaining a bag of bones...I met this one young nurse who who had a syringe full of morphine and gave a small squirt into the air...Then she declares in a type of glee..."This is what we use to get rid of old people"....forget about picking on the gays- You had better be more concerned with your own welfare as you weaken.
What truth? Homosexuality is found in every animal species on earth. How is that not natural?
Do you realize what an idiotic hypocrite you are? You're whining about gays being unnatural, while typing on a computer. Computers aren't found in nature. They are by definition, unnatural.

As is religion. I don't recall ever seeing a dog reading a Bible.
Three important trends demonstrate moral decay. They are the "rise in immorality," the "decay of religious belief," and the "devaluing of human life."
The classic study of Roman civilization, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, written by English historian Edward Gibbon was published in that famous year of 1776. He "observed that the leaders of the empire gave into the vices of strangers, morals collapsed, laws became oppressive, and the abuse of power made the nation vulnerable to the barbarian hordes."
British historian Catherine Edwards demonstrated that our current examples of immorality are not a modern phenomenon. In her study of the "politics of immorality" in ancient Rome, she says that contraception, abortion, and exposure were common ways to prevent childbirth in Rome. Husbands refused to recognize any child they did not believe to be their own. "Until accepted by its father, a Roman baby did not, legally speaking, exist."
Life became cheap in the latter days of the Roman Empire. Burdensome regulation and taxes made manufacturing and trade unprofitable. Families were locked into hereditary trades and vocations allowing little if any vocational choice. Eventually, children were seen as a needless burden and abortion and infanticide became commonplace. In some cases, children were sold into slavery.
Manners and social life fell into debauchery. Under Justinian, entertainment grew bawdier and more bizarre. Orgies and love feasts were common. "HOMOSEXUALITY" and bestiality were openly practiced. Under Nero, Christians were blamed for the great fire in Rome and horribly persecuted.
Similar patterns can be found in other civilizations. In Greece, the music of the young people became wild and coarse. Popular entertainment was brutal and vulgar. Promiscuity, "homosexuality", and drunkenness became a daily part of life. And all moral and social restraints were lost leading to greater decadence.
In Carthage, worship turned from Baal to the earth goddess Tanit. "Sacrifices to the goddess of fertility were supposed to ensure productivity, long life, and even greater profits." Ornately carved funeral monuments depicting infant sacrifice can be seen today along with thousands of tiny stone coffins to infants sacrificed to the pagan goddess.
The parallels to our own nation are striking. No, we don't sacrifice infants to a pagan goddess, but we have aborted nearly 40 million babies on the altar of convenience. And various sexual practices are openly accepted as part of an alternative lifestyle. "It's no wonder that many believe our country is a nation in decline"

Hang on - you're citing Nero and Justinian as being part of the same problematic phenomenon? They ruled almost five centuries apart. The age of Christopher Columbus is closer to our time than Justinian's rule was to Nero's. Also, there's a couple of small details - Justinian ruled over the Byzantine Empire, and had to fight a war to get control of the city of Rome, although Constantinople of course remained the imperial capital. Oh, and he was a Christian. A saint, even, to those of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Apart from that - great historical analysis, truly enriching.
What I don't get is - if people feel they must serve up copypasta, why not invest a minimum of fact-checking time? That twaddle is just a bunch of random names and events from antiquity. It doesn't even make a coherent point one can raise an argument against - except that whoever wrote it knows jack about history and is catering to an audience knowing less.

That is not true...You will never see a horse or dog insert it's penis in the anus of another animal. They may mount another animal of the same sex but they do not penetrate it...It takes human imagination to come up with that.
