Whatever definition I have for human life, it is mine and, regardless of what you might see as good intentions, you don't get to define it for me.
My ethics? Again, mine. I wouldn't impose mine on you. So please don't impose yours on me. Is that such a difficult concept to grasp?
Ok.......you've defined life around your parameters......Does that make them correct?
Oh, you do impose your ethics on others, as you freely express

Pretty scarey talk from a "tolerant" one in our society.
Marginalizing was the one step before the "final solution" in Nazi Germany.
Hittler, did his initial job of "marginalizing", Jews, Biblical Christians, Gypsies, Mentally Retarded, Physically handicapped......etc.. Many became bars of soap and lamp shades in tolerant folk's homes. Therir gold fillings filled the Third Reich's war treasury with thousands of bars of bullion.
Little is mentioned of the myriads of biblical Christians that resisted Nazism and also joined the other unfortunates and martyrs in death camps(Dietrich Bonhoffer, Corrie Ten Boom,......... Ten Boom, risked her life hiding Jews in her home in Denmark. She was finally caught and placed in a concentration camp along with her sister. Corrie miraculously avoided execution through some amazing situations, but her sister died of disease in the camps. Both Corrie and her sister ministered to the the many thousands of Jews that were imprisoned along with them. Corrie's mother and father were both killed by the Nazis.
It was biblical Christians that stood up against Nazism and paid the ulitimate price.
Who are the one's being marginalized, but the ones that can't display a manger scene on church property without it being vandalized, or ruined with Graffitti......or a Jewish Synogog that has Swaztikas spray painted across it's doors.
Do the liberals or their ACLU jump to support these types of intolerance..........NO! They will however jump to the defense of same sex marriages being taught to kindergartners, and condoms as the final solution to HIV, instead of abstinance. Instead of teaching accountability, they encourage victimology.......in all who error on the side of indiscretion. Sin is non'existent. All you do wrong are just victims.......
50 years ago, biblical Christianity was considered common place, and norm in it's tenents in the U.S.
Has society become smarter, more intelligent, or just plain more anti-authoritarian........as it is the Dr. Spock generation(1950's) that is raising another crew of brats without boundaries in their lives.
Did you know that the ultimate of rejection is to give a child everything it "wants".........rather than everything it "needs"? Did you know the best way to create a rebellious child is to give him/her everything possible? Children weren't/aren't taught patience.......and what do you end up with? We are in Iraq for a couple years......we don't get instant victory.........."Let's get out.". WW2 went on from 1941 until 1945........It actually started even earlier into the late 1930's in Europe before the U.S. become involved via Pearl Harbor. A patient, depression beaten generation fought WW2. I doubt that Gen X could handle a WW2 unless it was wrapped-up in a year with next to zero casualties.
We have a generation of children, growing up that are being raised by a "village" rather than a mother at home. Exercise classes and "my time" is paramount over these little one's time and needs of maternal bonding. Pre-schools are growing as fast as weeds.........as Kids are become latch Key kids..........No wonder the latest generations have no moral, ethical, understanding of right and wrong. They have to self-define everything in their lives, as they were never modeled anything of substance by their parents accept, love of material gain, ownership, and me, "myself and I" come first(work and aerobics). If I had that modeling, I would have been ranting, "Hell no I won't go!" too. Thank God, I was able to look and live outside the box, with parents that made time for me.
Instead of being showered with umpteen million toys, I wore-out my Tinker Toys, and Lincoln logs that I had as main toys growing up in the 1950's.
Instead of a myriads of computer games entertaining my senses, I had to learn to find ways of entertaining my sense through playful creativity....i.e.. building roads in the dirt in the back yard, and running my toy cars on them, catching bugs in canning jars, bug collections, stamp collections, making home made kits, riding my bike up to a local lake and going fishing for Blue Gills........instead of jelling my brain in front of the latest computer game.
That's what we're dealing with folks...........a generation thats now starting to vote, and that the democrats are keying in on, that don't want to think outside themselves.......Let someone else fight their battles, let someone else be the one that defends their constitutional rights, let someone else shed their blood so they can enjoy the next Rave.......or get bombed out of their skulls on weed, or alcohol on Friday night or get laid.
This generation is for the most part shallow........they vote for the person that says, "if it feels good, do it!"....the Hell with loving your neighbor as you love yourself". They redefine "love your enemy" to mean, "No war at any cost to us, as long as it doesn't affect my freedoms to indulge in my little self centered world."
Young men nowadays are being raised as spineless wimps. Women, are raised to flaunt their femininity in ways that mock the beauty of their species. Young men are not taught to be gentlemen, but to just be self centered "jerks".
Disclaimer: There are many wonderful, well adjusted young men and women of Gen X and later generations, that have stood against the onslaught of depravity thats thrown at them from every angle that society can muster, but they're rare. Families can't always have stay at home moms, but in some cases they can, but there's an unwillingness to give up the 3,000 sq ft home for the 1500 sq ft home and the ski boat, and the Porsche, inorder that Mom can stay at home and give Junior and Missy a wonderful start in life, while dad brings home the "bread" and models a work ethic of sacrifice for others to his offs-spring.
Kids are bonding more with their daycare providers than with their parents..............Why have kids' if someone else is going to raise them for the most part.........What are the ideals and beliefs of those that will have your kids for 8 hours a day except for hopefully weekends! Thats potentially 40 hours or more a week that some stranger is relating to your gullible little one.
These kids grow up with no moorings/foundations of life.........they don't have goals.......they latch onto causes, but really don't know whats right and whats wrong. They are easy prey for religious, cult entrapments, and extremist political brainwashing........
Look what my vaunted Flower Generation did.......their parents were the "High Ball", country club, generation.......Church was a chore, but sociall acceptable, faith in God was inherited......not a personal relationship/passion. No wonder the Post WW2 parents had these Drop Out Of Society Kids.............Parents lived for their evening let-down drink's before dinner........Church was a hit or miss proposition..........What modeling was this?
I have absolutely no doubts that their off-spring would challenge authority........and basically look for any way to "check-out" of society. Fortunatelly a handfull of these flower kids found some concrete answers in the bible, and we had the great 60's-70's Jesus movement wave........,but not all hit that mark, and many opted for suicide via drugs or the Golden Gate Bridge........
Nowadays, many of the flower generation's offspring are right on this forum. They are questioning authority with a fervor that makes their Hippie parents look like Gold Waterites. Accountability is a swear word........if it's intended or aimed at themselves............it's their mantra if it's aimed at everyone but them.
