America has grown soft, weak & sissified since 2006.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

We were once a nation to be respected and feared. A nation that wasn't afraid to drop big ass bombs on cities to CREATE peace. Now we cower and bow down to all manner of other nations, both friendly and foe.

Worse than that we've grown weak internally. As now we are just as content to sue our neighbors rather than wait for or accept their apology.

Then we have gov't trying to manage our personal lives like Donald Fucking Trump on a real estate deal.

Our children watch vile cartoons on the cartoon network and comedy channel and think that it's ok to act out what they see. We have utter filth on tv EVERY SINGLE NIGHT during prime time. The time when families USED to gather around the tube together.

We have an entire generation of kids killing each other over a fucking pair of Nike's or a dime bag and NO ONE tries to intervene that has any clout. And when someone on the right tries to bring it up instead of praise for being brave and facing the issue they are labeled racist or intolerant.

Businesses are being sued for once trivial bullshit and losing because we have grown into a weak society that thinks all our problems are someone elses fault.

Now we lock down entire cities over terrorism and then coddle the fuckers when we catch them. What kind of god damn signal does that send our enemies? You can kill our citizens and we'll give you 3 hots and a cot?

We are so god damn affraid to offend each other that we walk on egg shellsand pretend that being sheltered rather than outgoing is normal. Wanna start a new business? Well here's 9 miles of red tape and regulations to make sure you don't offend anyone, including that damned endangered spider in your back yard.


I am not that old and I can remember when this nation was great. When it ment something to be successful. The ambitious and daring built this country and now the weak and sissified are tearing it down.

You write the silly nonsense you write and insist you are completely sober? I believe you.

 

[Agit8r]

So, assuming that the OP contained all true problems, do you really think these are more prevalent since 2006?

Since 1996?

Really?

Really?

After I posted it I regreted the title. My partisan side surfaced too soon. I do believe my op but you are right, it started well before 2006. When, I can't really pinpoint but the snowball affect has grown tremendously since then.

 

[Gracie]

I don't know when it started...but it has been a steady decline and getting worse.

On tv, they say bitch, whore, slut, fuck, ass. Remember when Lucy and Dezi had separate beds?
No violent video games back then. It was safe to go trick or treat. We wore patent leather shoes and could stay outside to play after it got dark. No drivebys to worry about. Meals consisted of what Ma cooked and one parent worked while the other tried to be June Cleaver.

I think it went downhill when JFK died. At least he had a pair of balls.

What's silly about it? Put your money where your mouth is....if you can.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Where did you go Dean? I see you're still online. If I'm so silly it should be easy to counter my points right? Unless of course you are a coward.....

 

[Politico]

Been a lot longer than that.

Nonsense.

That’s pure perception, not reality, a reactionary fantasy, a contrived ideal of an American past that never really existed.

Americans enjoy greater freedom today than at any time in our history, and the best America is yet to come.

All this talk about freedom, but there are those who are unwilling to defend it at any cost. Saddening.

There is nothing so fundamentally wrong with this nation that a complete turnover in MANAGEMENT could not fix.

We are NOT the same nation socially that we were in 1950 (which is about the time Grampa is describing)

But some of us are old enough to remember the 50s and very few of us would be happy living in that society today.

I agree with a lot of this, but being afraid to drop big ass bombs on cities makes us stronger.

This country is finished. I never thought I would say that. But many events have come together to persuade me of that. Obama's re election is just one. There was no way he should have won. Instead there were about five cities that gave him the victory. In each city there was a large population of welfare class inner city people who turned out to vote, flipping the state and the election to Obama. When welfare class voters determine who the president is, we're done. We have seen enormous increases in regulations and regulators. They strangle business at all levels and cost enormous amounts of money. We will never get back to full employment. Our GDP growth rate is atrocious, the worst of any recovery on record. The combination of low growth and high structural unemployment is consistent with Euro-style sclerosis. In that environment we cannot maintain our military, thus we are weak throughout the world.
It is very sad and it will not change. It is not like the malaise of Carter's era. A Reagan could never get elected today.
