Folks been talking about the decline of the USA, since creation. Preoccupation with decline is so pervasive it has a name, “ declinism”.

To the left out there you can deny it and spin all you want but once you throw God out of the picture it’s all over!

Yep we should be more like Saudi Arabia. That is the ticket!

One does not have to prove god does not exist. You need to prove that he does. And you can't.

You can't. You can only proclaim your belief, but you can never back it up with any facts. Remember, holy books are just the claims, not the proofs.
^^^^^
Yep.

The bolded is the biggest reason I am agnostic, and that I think the concept of organized religion is arrogant*

I swear I think that is his/her job.

The prolific thread starters are always right wing with provacative thread titles, usually untrue.

Speaking of prolific thread starters, has anyone seen WK in a while?

Hmmmm.

This is why you’re seeing the country on the decline The Increase In Homosexuality & Sexual Permissiveness

It may be a small factor but its far,

far,

far from the main reason for the decline !!!

The biggest factor is public corruption, designed into the laws that exempt government officers at all levels from accountability !!!

I'll give, what I found to be the most surprising example :

The gov. thought it was important to pass a law giving victims a special bill of rights and they did !!!

Sounds good as you read through it but then get to the point where it says the gov. and officers are exempt !!!
The gov. and its officers are the only ones who can continue to victimize the victim and there isn't a dam thing anyone can do about it !!! Not even a lawyer can help you !!!
If you are being victimized by the gov. there is no hope for you !!! They can murder you and get away with it too, and sometimes they do just that !!!

But don't take my word for it, see the link !!!
Also note the double speak, which I'll point out below !!!

Crime Victims' Rights Act - Department of Justice
https://www.justice.gov/usao/resourc...ims-rights-act

(1) GOVERNMENT.--Officers and employees of the Department of Justice and other departments and agencies of the United States engaged in the detection, investigation, or prosecution of crime shall make their best efforts to see that crime victims are notified of, and accorded, the rights described in subsection (a).


( see the bait and switch )

(6) NO CAUSE OF ACTION.--Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to authorize a cause of action for damages or to create, to enlarge, or to imply any duty or obligation to any victim or other person for the breach of which the United States or any of its officers or employees could be held liable in damages. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to impair the prosecutorial discretion of the Attorney General or any officer under his direction.

Lots of same sex couples are monogamous. My brother and his partner have been together 32 years.

The notion that same sex couples/families aren't likely to be monogamous stems from complete ignorance.
