Moral Decay in our society

[thrasherfox]

Ahhhh yes,, the good ol gene pool... My favorite bumper sticker I ever saw was "YOU!! OUT OF THE GENE POOL NOW!!!"

That is one of the problem with society today, no consequences for ones actions.

Now a daze… young kids with no respect can for the most part curse out adults, be idiots and adults just let them get away with it, you can be in a grocery store and someone will just be flat out fricken rude to you for no reason…

Those people are stupid, stupid people in the old days did not live long.

Way back when, when dudes road around on horses and carried swords and stuff, if you didn’t treat them with respect, you found your head severed from your body. That left two kinds of people on the planet

1) Those that were respectful
2) Those that were dead

In western days here in the United States, when everyone carried guns and road horses, if you didn’t treat people with respect, you found a hole in your head or your chest.

That left two kinds of people, say it with me folks:

1) Those that were respectful
2) Those that were dead.

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe in abuse, however, I do believe people should treat each other with respect and if they don’t they should suffer consequences for their actions.

Just my two cents..

this is a dead beat debate.. kinda like me with spelling and grammer...

no one wins because its all just opinion... and everyone has one..

Get to work millions on welfare are counting on you! I love that bumper sticker....

Kinda interesting in this thread the common phrase or idea is "opinion" and yet no one has said or asked what is God's opinion?

 

[gcal]

cant stay and read the whole thing
but i wanna say

HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG IN EVERY WAY
MEN FOR WOMEN AND WOMEN FOR MEN




keep in mind WE ARE TO STRONG TO BE INVADED FROM THE OUTSIDE THAT IS WHY WE WILL FALL FROM WITHIN

cant think of who said it but its true




just think about that when these laws get passed and 10 years from know we are hearing about some other outragous law they wanna pass

The line keeps getting pushed back further and further until nothing shocks us anymore. The government doesn't condemn alternative life styles by not sanctioning them, they simply don't condone, or support it, with our tax payers. This country was founded on religous beliefs and that truth can't just be removed because we are now dull to the pain of this argument and wish to relent, and move on. What will the next drum beat be for something to be normalized? I can think of more than a few that could walk this same path to normalization and acceptance. Leave people to do what they wish for themselves, as long as it does not harm anyone else, and leave what the overwhelming majority of society believes is good for the country alone.

Hawa, isn't there like 10% of the earth's population that don't believe in God, but the godly aren't as likely to get all riled up about things so the 10% push silly laws thru. For those 90% that DO believe in God, the book said it's wrong about 2000 years ago. Man, I thought it was risky saying it was wrong like that in a public forum but it's cool to see others able to do it. It's gotta start stopping somewhere. And everyone is more than welcome to view my statements as opinion if that makes it go down easier.

EVERYTHING IS black or white.

Hang on... asking God....
Yep. He told me it's wrong. then he asked if I read the book! [gulp! getting hot in here, loosening colar]

90% of the world population is not Christian, WWJD. They therefore probably haven't read that particular book or care much about its particular rules.

90% of the total population probably does have a stated belief in spiritual or religious doctrines -- or practices some form of organized religion. But Christianity, in all of its forms, is nowhere near 90% of the total population -- more like 30% or less.

In fact I'd be surprised to learn that the USA has a 90% Christian population. 70% I'd buy, but not 90%.

I'm not picking a fight. But I can't let that statement stand.

LOL...not laughing at the ongoing conversation here, but it just struck me funny that there's so much talk of homosexuality amongst you guys when most men fantasize about two women together...I'm guessing you're really only thinking about gay men when you fight this battle against immorality...just a thought...a funny one to me...

Don't even try to pick me apart over it either...I can name so many men in and around my life that would do anything to be with lesbians...lesbian strippers, I mean (of course they have to be beautiful)...God-fearing men with high moral constitutions...drooling over the commercials showing twins and gals fighting over beer in fountains while their clothes begin to fall off...yeah, dead argument to me now...

Hehehehe... I am a lesbian... trapped inside a man's body!

Your right Michelle, there is also a lot of hipocrasy in the world too.

I was guestimating anyway as I believe 92.7% of ALL statistics are wrong.

So, if no one has the balls enough to stand up and say ANYTHING is wrong anymore because it depends on the individual or it's not "policitally correct", where DOES that leave us as a society? What's the term in the Topic: Morally Decaying. Does anyone believe we are NOT morally decaying? Based on what? If we are.... based on what? THIS issue for one. Are we simply "aclimatizing"?

An aside, I hope this DOES get some people fired up to give me heck, because at LEAST you have guts enough to to standup for whatever you believe in. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

The Greatest threat to a free society is when the men and women who defend that society realize they hold higher standards then the society they defend.

 

[rubbersidedown]

too funny...the whole thread . But also, sort of sick/sad.

Is society really on a downslide . We dont burn people at the stake....very much anymore .

We RARELY war with one another over RELIGION .

People HARDLY EVER get tortured an' abused because of their beliefs .

I personally believe society has come along way . The Romans were a mess . The English owned 75 % of the world at one time....and they were'nt very nice . The Nazi's had a turn , with a sub-machine gun in one hand , AND A BIBLE IN THE OTHER . etc etc etc.

The bulk of this topic seems littered with religion . When are people going to wake up an' realize the death an' destuction that takes place under the guise of some BELIEF.

Pull out yer history books . Killing one another in the name of anything is just so horribly ILL-ogical . (NO, I didn't mispell that) .

How bout this.....we go with common sense .
We go with whats LOGICAL .

O ya.....an' for all you bible thumpin' bastids....

LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN,CAST THE FIRST STONE..

I love this guy!

Thanks RSD...very well said...

We CAN'T go with common sense because it is being bred out. And society IS on the downslide. If you don't see it your head's in the sand and that's NOT an opinion.

Hate pointing everything thru religion, but where else are you gonna turn to counter act moral decay.... PEOPLE? People [yeah, me too] CAUSE the moral decay. Hey, lets all look the other way and then it won't exist! hahahahaa
Eh... everyone do their part to be nice and maybe things will get better. Shutting off TV is great start!

Good points RSD, most of the wars including the 2 world wars have been spurred on in the name of religion. Then of course there is the dark ages that were totally messed up, the inqusitions and on and on ... and even today how can the armies of 1 nation pray for victory and the oposing side do the same and sometimes both claiming to be of the same religion or faith? Who's side is God on? And just because something is done in the name of religion doesnt necessarily mean God approves. Bad religion is called a harlot in Revelation.

The general consensus here it seems is that anything is OK as long as no one gets hurt. However, who decides if something is good or not or if someone will get hurt or not? What about sex without marriage, or infidelity between married people, or 2 gay people adopting children is it ok as long as all party's involved are consenting and no one gets hurt? What about the children who grow up with these values taught to them? How is a child suppose to develop completely if he has 2 mom's or 2 dad's at home. Some may feel that no one gets hurt but in reality eveything we do and say effects others. Will it be in a good and positive way or will it be for bad...?

The fact of the matter is the world has seen a huge increase in crime, war, violence, immorality in the last century and the pertcentages are higher too, it's not just because there are more people.

Finally we allways hear people say " I think " ... but the question remains, What does God think?

oh and to clarify I am not a bible thumper just a reader.

You can turn to creating a better environment for our children...raise them to be respectful of others, no matter what their race, creed, religious beliefs or sexuality...teach them respect...nourish their minds with useful and educational tools...give them someone to come to when they have tough questions...don't judge others around you because it will be passed on to them...don't try to mold a child...allow him to grow and prosper with moral and ethical guidance...

If that includes God for some, then that's fine...if there are parents out there that are trying to raise their children in this way without religion dictating who's bad and who's not, that's fine too...
