I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

No. They were a lot tougher than you are giving them credit for.

No. They were a lot tougher than you are giving them credit for. 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.

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.

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.

You really have No idea the Tough world they grew up in, and the Changes they lived through. 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.

No.
You need to calm down. Where's that gal that likes diagnosing mental disorders with what she reads on the internet?
We have a code red over here. 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. This...........The internet is the single greatest threat to our society. Misinformation at up to 2000Mps.

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.

Some of you must be too young to remember history, or were sleeping in school or refuse to believe anything not found on Fox, or YouTube. Some members of Every generation for 200 years has thought the US was finished. Yet we continue to survive and evolve.
Just a few historical things to think about: 1860's Civil War. The End of Slavery 1916 World War 1 1918 Infuenza Epedemic (No it didn't come from Spain) 1929 Stock Market crash leading to ... 1929- 39 Great Depression 1930- 36 Dust Bowl Years 1941- 45 World War 2 1947-91 The Cold War 1950-53 Korean War 1950-54 Joe McCarthy Red Hunt 1950-75 Vietnam (Truman sent first US advisors) 1963 Kennedy Assassination 1965 Voting Rights Act 1965 Rioting in Watts 1968 King & Kennedy Assasinations 1969 First landing on the Moon 1970 Kent State 1973 Watergate - Nixon resigns 1979 3 Mile Island 1980 Abscam 1980-81 Iran Hostage Crisis 1983 Grenada Invasion 1983 Internet Invented 1986 Challenger explodes 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal 1989 Exon Valdez 1989 Bush bails out savings and loans 1989 Panama Invasion 1990 Kuwait Invasion begins Persian Gulf War 1991 Break up of Soviet Union 1992 Rodney King Riots 1992 US troops to Somali 1993 World Trade Center Bomb 1993 Waco 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing 1995 US troops to Bosnia 1998 US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania 1998-99 Clinton Impeachment 1999 Columbine 1999 US & China Trade Agreement 2000 Election turmoil between Bush & Gore (Bush wins electorial college but not majority vote) 2001 9/11 2001 Airstrikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan 2003 Iraq War begins 2003 Columbia explodes 2005 Hurricane Katrina 2008 Economy crashes Bush bails out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 2008 Obama & McCain win Presidential primaries.

Obviously far from complete but all are major events for those involved whatever year. Our Grandparents were much tougher than we are. We sit at computers and whine. They went and did what they had to do to survive.

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

But it's your world; live in it as you see fit. So video of them pulling out boxes of ballots to be counted in the middle of the night after they said they were done and everyone left.... 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.

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.

Some of you must be too young to remember history, or were sleeping in school or refuse to believe anything not found on Fox, or YouTube. Some members of Every generation for 200 years has thought the US was finished. Yet we continue to survive and evolve.
Just a few historical things to think about: 1860's Civil War. The End of Slavery 1916 World War 1 1918 Infuenza Epedemic (No it didn't come from Spain) 1929 Stock Market crash leading to ... 1929- 39 Great Depression 1930- 36 Dust Bowl Years 1941- 45 World War 2 1947-91 The Cold War 1950-53 Korean War 1950-54 Joe McCarthy Red Hunt 1950-75 Vietnam (Truman sent first US advisors) 1963 Kennedy Assassination 1965 Voting Rights Act 1965 Rioting in Watts 1968 King & Kennedy Assasinations 1969 First landing on the Moon 1970 Kent State 1973 Watergate - Nixon resigns 1979 3 Mile Island 1980 Abscam 1980-81 Iran Hostage Crisis 1983 Grenada Invasion 1983 Internet Invented 1986 Challenger explodes 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal 1989 Exon Valdez 1989 Bush bails out savings and loans 1989 Panama Invasion 1990 Kuwait Invasion begins Persian Gulf War 1991 Break up of Soviet Union 1992 Rodney King Riots 1992 US troops to Somali 1993 World Trade Center Bomb 1993 Waco 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing 1995 US troops to Bosnia 1998 US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania 1998-99 Clinton Impeachment 1999 Columbine 1999 US & China Trade Agreement 2000 Election turmoil between Bush & Gore (Bush wins electorial college but not majority vote) 2001 9/11 2001 Airstrikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan 2003 Iraq War begins 2003 Columbia explodes 2005 Hurricane Katrina 2008 Economy crashes Bush bails out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 2008 Obama & McCain win Presidential primaries. Obama wins 2009 AIG loses 99.3 Billion 2010 Deppwater Horizon 2010 Senate Repeals "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" 2011 US Credit rating lowered 2012 Hurricane Sandy 2012 Sandy Hook 2013 Government shutdown for 16 days. NSA Surveillance Program 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing, Black Lives Matter movement begins Supreme Court Strikes down Defense of Marriage Act 2014 VA Scandal, Common Core Standards Debate 2015 Same Sex marriage legalized in all 50 states. 2015- 16 Roof kills 9, Faros & Milak kill 14, Mateen kills 49 2016 Trump elected President 2017 Hurricanes Harvey, Irma & Maria 2017-18 Shootings in Las Vegas, Texas, Florida 2019 US Government shut down for 35 days. 2019 Trump Impeached the first time over Ukraine Scandal 2020 First US patient diagnosed with coronavirus 2020 George Floyd killed. Protests and Riots followed. 2020 Joe Biden elected President 2020 First covid vaccinations 2021 Trump Impeached second time for "Incitement of Insurrection" 2021 Trump supporters storm US Capitol 2021 Major Winter Storm kills 58. Power Outage 2021 98 killed in Miami condominium collapse 2021 Shootings in Atlanta, Boulder, CO, Orange, CA., SC, Indianapolis, Colorado Springs, San Jose, Michigan 2021 US with draws of last troops from Afghanistan
Obviously far from complete but all are major events for those involved whatever year. Our Grandparents were much tougher than we are. We sit at computers and whine. They went and did what they had to do to survive.
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.

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.

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 just 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.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Q angella 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./Q LOL 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. Bet you've never had your butt chewed by a female army sergeant.

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. 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
