Why do you wish to live in the 18th and 19th centurys?

[Ray From Cleveland]

Men beat women today. More men beat more women today because in the 18th and 19th century men were raised with honor and integrity. A man in the 17th,century or 18th century would likely be called out by another man as a coward and thrashed for beating a woman.

Children work today the same as they did then. Today they are robbing convenience stores and selling drugs to class mates, some up it a notch by being whores.

The children today that work because they must, those children who have lives with a toe still on the ranch or farm work too hard to sell dope. By they time they cleaned the barn and fed the pigs they are too tired to rob a 7-Eleven.

Yes, men still beat their wives today, and wives beat their men today. The difference between then and now is that today, you can spend more time in jail for beating your dog than beating your wife.

Get rid of the fed regulations in industry, particularly food and energy, and we will go back to coal oil and steam power. Inevitable. Unregulated Big Business will break the economy and the corridors and avenues of energy transmission.

Jake, please stop thinking in 'extremes'. Thank you...........

Why do you wish to take us back to the 19th century? Life was much harder, people had lower quality of life and America was no where near the power we're currently...Without government regs, laws and investment this is exactly where we're going.

They like it better when men could beat women and children could be forced to work 12 hours a day. Among a hundred other heinous things.

Speaking of heinous, how are things in black inner city neighborhoods under Democratic party rule? How many died last weekend? OH SNAP!!

So people's deaths 'under Republican rule' are a-ok with you. Or you keep some weirdo list of numbers of dead people that keeps you warm at night? There is a really fucktard relationship between conservatives and body counts. When certain people die it triggers a school girl squeal in you and you start salivating uncontrollably. And you don't understand how whackjob it is.

I don't recall a century before this one that promoted stabbing a viable new baby in the head with a pair of scissors and vacuuming it's brains out.....that's some medieval shit, sonny.

And believe it or not, we only had two sexes back then, and they each used their appropriate public rest room.

Just one great thing about the 18th Century and the 19th Century, the poetry was superior.

In especially the 21st Century there are no good poets, all modern poetry is vulgar and has no sophistication or any beauty whatsoever.

Jake, please stop thinking in 'extremes'. Thank you...........

I think in extremes because of the extreme craziness of the far right and alt right.

I first read Hardy more than 50 years ago, and I still think his poetry superb.

Neutral Tones

BY THOMAS HARDY
We stood by a pond that winter day,
And the sun was white, as though chidden of God,
And a few leaves lay on the starving sod;
– They had fallen from an ash, and were gray.
Your eyes on me were as eyes that rove
Over tedious riddles of years ago;
And some words played between us to and fro
On which lost the more by our love.
The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing
Alive enough to have strength to die;
And a grin of bitterness swept thereby
Like an ominous bird a-wing….
Since then, keen lessons that love deceives,
And wrings with wrong, have shaped to me
Your face, and the God curst sun, and a tree,
And a pond edged with grayish leaves.

This is getting better than the Comedy Channel. It's just like what WOULD have happened in Chicago if the Cubs had lost.. They'd be dissing the league rules, lynching their own players and coaches, and whining about the "good old days"..

I don't think 'heinous' indicates A-OK, but apparently you do.

In reality, it's because your basic beliefs are rooted in the alt-left. Your conumdrum has been solved and you can thank me some other time.

They finally gave my boy a Pulitzer after 50 years of freaking classics like this one:

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"

Johny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in a trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
A man in a coon-skin cap
In a pig pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten.

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the DA
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't tie no bows
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Wash the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows.

Get sick, get well
Hang around an ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything's gonna sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write Braille
Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool is
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters.

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles.

The American taliban is a cancer on civilization. There's no question about it.

Sad.

No kidding, conservatives have really lost their shit, they pine to return to 1850 when white men forced everyone else to do shit. Sad in a way though, it means all these people live their lives now in utter frustration every day knowing the rest of us don't give two shits about what they pine for. But the Amish found a way. Cons just need to form enclaves and wall themselves in, do away with color televisions and cell phones, bring back Howdy Doody and I Love Lucy, and practice Tuck And Roll all day.

Good times.

Like the answer to most questions about why right wingers do the things they do, the answer is... they are stupid

It's no big mystery
