:hmpf: Ugh... Is it possible to cancel a thread?
Ask a question, don't like the answer, erase the whole thing.

This was posted in the science and technology forum. Not the "let's make a generic lame-ass political statement" forum.

Also, I don't recall asking a question.
 
Explaining to them why we now allow blacks to commit over half of the murders and we can't be angery about it or we're racist.

Explaining to them why extreme debt is now ok.
Explaining to them why socialism is now fine.
Explaining to them why open borders are good.

Fucked up time

Lastly explaining to them why there's now a entire political party that gains power through victimhood.

Well, let's see. I was 7 years old in 1950. So what do I find completely differant now than then?

Communicaton. The ability to speak to anyone in the world that has a phone.

Knowledge dissemination. To have a device sitting on my desk with which I can access more information than is in the Library of Congress is completely mindblowing.

Attitudes in the nation toward education. I grew up in a very low educational environment. Willfull ignorance was the rule of the day. Yet, here we are, over 60 years later, and one of the major political parties actually has influential members that are pushing that shit, and, yes, I am talking about the GOP.

Crowded conditions in this nation. I never imagined the day that there would be a time when in almost any place in the nation, you are in view of a house. The only exception are the government owned lands.

Far more social freedom of association with anybody you like. When I grew up, there were kinds (as in differant color of skins) people one did not associate with except under special circumstances. And one could be ostricized for breaking the rules. Some here would like to return to those days.

Attitudes toward guns. In my family, everyone had one or more, and used them for hunting. They regarded them as just another tool, not an item to be worshipped. And you were considered an idiot if you mishandled one. Today, most mishandle them, one sees the results in the accidental deaths in the paper every day.

No I doubt they'd be surprised there are still racists.

In that spirit it would have to be the computer.
