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.
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

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
