It seems like I'm living in a weird dream in this day in age. Men wanting to be women is bad enough but society going along and acting like it normal. The way the government is ran, how a guy gets murdered in prison and if ruled a suicide. How an election can be obviously rigged and nothing Is done about it.


I miss my grandparents but I'm glad they did not live to see this happening. Boy am I orried about what my kid will be growing up and dealing with.

You need to calm down. Where's that gal that likes diagnosing mental disorders with what she reads on the internet?

I wish my Grandma was still alive to talk to. Would love to get her thoughts on a lot of the current crazy crap. She had a good head on her shoulders, and always gave good advice. I could really use her input, and I really miss her.

O yes they were! It is just embarrassing that country and society is down right embarrassing. They lived in a time we could be proud of our country and people. Today it's allready down the drain. It's amazing how it's hapend so fast. Now that I'm seeing this I can finally understand why God flooded the world. Its to bad he promised not to do it again. He waited to long to send a big earthquake to California now they have spread to other areas.

Nope, my grandparent raised a family thru the great depression and I'm sure they would love the luxuries we take for granted today.

You may be creating in your own mind a world that is unlivable. MY world is just fine. I adjust to the parts I don't like best I can and carry on.

Not sure. I loved my grampa, but he also beat the tar out of my grandmother on a regular basis when they were married, and set the stage for a while host of generational dysfunction that really messed a lot of people up.
Transgenderism, Epstein, and the 2020 election would be the least of his concern.

I miss all my grandparents and my great grandparents, that I knew, badly. I think they would be able to deal with all this liberal crap, though they would not like it. Both my grandfathers chose to enlist and fight for our country in WWII. My paternal grandfather left medical school, where he was studying to be a surgeon, to save other soldiers' lives in the Philippines. He got shot by the Japanese in the hand, while carrying a wounded soldier on a stretcher and caught malaria, which ended his dreams to be a surgeon. My maternal grandfather lied about his age and enlisted at 16. He went through Europe until our troops met the russians coming the other way.

They could handle the liberals.

My grandparents were strong resilient people. The same goes for my parents. I’m sure they could provide some perspective to current events.

My grandpa watched 9/11 happen while he was on his death bed. He was sad and confused like the rest if us. I wish he could of lived awhile longer to know we all survived that and came out okay.

Yep the depression was tough as was ww2. But they could never dream of a time when the cops let city's burn, and got put in jail if they killed a thug while doing their job.

No doubt that can Handel it I'm just glad they didn't half to see it. It being the downfall of this once great country.

For those that think I'm delusional maybe you should get your head out of the sand. I guess you have just been desintize to all of it and think it's normal or at best just ignore it. You can't seem to see that it just gets pushed harder and further and that how it got to this point and will only get worse with that mind set.

But you can't admit that because that would be saying you are part of the problem and we'll mow we xant have that now can we.

Not ment towards you 330.

If you're talking about me, I think you would benefit more from seeing a therapist than Providence would.

My guess is if my Grandparents were alive today, they wouldn’t be spending hours a day watching cable news, or browsing the internet. They would be leading fulfilling lives… not listening to folks who tell them they should be unhappy.

If our grandparents were alive, the democrats would have to fake a lot more votes to win an election.

Like my dad said. If all the folks that fought in ww2 were still alive seeing how screwed things are being run, that they risked their lives for, heads would be rolling.

Things change and people stay the same.

My grandpa, born in 1910 told me that when I was a boy and I still remember it.

Delusional in my mind is thinking that the Democrats were clever enough to steal an election (while leaving zero evidence) when they can't seem to do anything else right.

But it's your world; live in it as you see fit.

"Things" evolve / revolve around money . . . "and people stay the same" ??? . . . lend people money . . . then let us know if they stay the same. :-)

Yeah,Yeah, and got more votes than any other presidential candidate in U.S. history...I can't find anyone who voted for this schmuck, or even anyone to admit they actually like Brandon.

So color me delusional too, all day, everyday.

Evidence is out there but it doesnt matter if no news will cover it, social media pulls down anything about it, courts won't look at it.

Your proof of how people have changed a lot is?


I'm not going to waste time on this digging for proof because I don't think you really need it. Can you honestly look around you and say people haven't changed since you were a kid? Did the kids you went to school with not know what bathroom to go in or whether they were a boy or a girl? Did the Junior high kids not know if they were human or feline? Did the athletes you watched on TV kneel in disgrace of the flag of their country, or refuse to sing it's national anthem? Did you know people who BRAGGED about how much money they get in food stamps, or would the people you knew back then have died in shame if their friends or neighbors knew they were getting assistance? Most importantly, would the people you knew back then allow these things to happen?

Come on, Mark... you know people have changed.

My grand parents have been dead for over 40 years now and I am sure that all four of them could have handled what we have going on right now, very, very well and would greatly appreciate all the conveniences and health benefits we have today versus their life spans. In fact I would guess that many of our grand parents would take a look at all of us computer conspiracy theorists and kick us in the rear and tell us to bone up and quit whining.

The problem with the world today is that we don't have enough people with the sense of our grandparents' generation. So no, I wish they were all still alive today and in charge.

I knew three of my grandparents and 2 of my great grandparents. We lived far enough away and only rarely saw them. I think it would be fairly safe to say all were rural, conservative and dyed in the wool Democrats. Almost everyone in my parents generation were similar except they were all Republicans. My generation of my family are all Republicans as far as I know. Parties drift, times change, human nature does not. I also wish all the relatives I knew in my youth were still around.

My grandmother is still alive , 86 year’s old now, she loves the casino and making bread. But I grew up hearing stories of truly hard times I’ve never experienced.

Lawyers making laws that benefit lawyers instead of their constituents is the heart of the problem. It's nothing more than a big club that only cares about making more money for themselves and each other. They all talk with conviction and how they are going to fight the good fight to defend or challenge the laws. The system is set up for both the winning and losing lawyers to make their money, at our wallets and society's expense. That's where we are at.

And our grandparents had the same sleezy lawyers lurking around. The difference was they weren't as well organized or entrenched in everything like they are today. More laws made by more lawyers made that possible

You infact make the point. Add the US going off the gold standard and you have many things on your list that have been moving us to where we are today.

Mark people have changed society has changes in my short 41 years if your being honest in your 60 you have seen it also.

25 years ago things done and openly pushed today would have got you locked up in prison or the mental hospital. But your right nothing has changed.. I did not take you for a bury your head in the sand type especially considering how it supports biblical writings.

No evidence at all of election fraud? Guess there is no since wasting time on this one with anyone that believes this one. Just wow.

My grandparents were 200 and 300 miles away.
Didn't see them much.
But mom and Dad both WWII vets are gone.
I keep wondering what they would think and say about current and not so current happenings.
I'm sure they would be anti Trump and his followers and Dad would like to have been in DC on jan 6. He would want to be in his truck driving thru that crowd

I knew all four of my grandparents and both my greatgrandparents on my mother's side. They're all gone now. But they would have gone about their lives just like they always did. They lived through a lot worse. Four out the the six migrating from Germany. They let people be people and went on about their lives taking care of business. Family and God came first. Hard work and paying bill was met with enthusiasm. Positive attitudes and a strong faith made them the Grandparents that I wish were still here.

It boggles my mind that any WWII vets could support communism in this country. I have seen it before, but rarely. Sounds like your parents were part of that rare breed.

Providence ...it blows my mind that anybody would still insist on the BIG LIE. Trump's own republican AG, Barr says there was no wide spread election fraud. Nothing that would have changed a single election result. Every single court case was dismissed for lack of evidence. Evidence is not that you just have a feeling because you don't know anybody that voted for Biden.

it took me a minute to think about what you said.
If Mom were here she would march right down to Mississippi and give you a good tongue lashing. And believe me you ain't been thru anything like that in your life.

Trump had a problem finding people that were not part of the swamp you just pointed out one of many.

Find where I said I didn't know anyone that voted for Biden. I know a few brain dead people after all. But there is no way possible that brain dead man that could not get anyone to show up at his very few appearances when they let him out of confinement relieved more votes than anyone in history. People were not excited about Biden heck no. They were 100x more excited about Obama yet Biden got more votes?

That's not even bring up Trumps energized base. If you belive Biden got 81 million votes ther is no helping you. . But you do live in Oregon so that probably zapped you ability to reason and think critically. Then there is the age factor. I'm guessing you are older and still believe the news and media has some truth or facts.

It's not it is 100% agenda driven Propaganda.

I saw Bars interview I also saw what t was going on. What he claimed and what was visible did not line up. Gas lighting but it obviously works.

My dad (born 1910) used to say never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

I'll leave it at that.

I'll leave it at that.


You got my point clearly then. I prefer don't wast my limited time nothing will be accomplished. Never worried or cared much about what bystanders think but I guess some people need that social acceptance.

[/quote] I'm not going to waste time on this digging for proof because I don't think you really need it. Can you honestly look around you and say people haven't changed since you were a kid? Did the kids you went to school with not know what bathroom to go in or whether they were a boy or a girl? Did the Junior high kids not know if they were human or feline? Did the athletes you watched on TV kneel in disgrace of the flag of their country, or refuse to sing it's national anthem? Did you know people who BRAGGED about how much money they get in food stamps, or would the people you knew back then have died in shame if their friends or neighbors knew they were getting assistance? Most importantly, would the people you knew back then allow these things to happen?

Come on, Mark... you know people have changed.[/quote]


We're bumping up against context.
I think you're typing about the definitions of morality which people follow, agree to, or believe in has changed. I'd say for sure. 100%. People's actions always change.

I was referring to people as the group. "Humanity." And how they can not change their nature >>>>> which steers behaviors.
Humans are still thinking the way humans think, acting the way humans act, and doing what people do.
Human depravity as it's known.

There are no exceptions according to God's Word to us and for us.

Blessings,
Mark
