…. This country changing fast boys

… feel sorry for my kids more than anything

You got that right. You probably don't hear this often but you're a wise man i think.

The world we grew up in doesn't exist.

I understand this song very well.

Merle had hope!

You mean how most of our youth run around shouting two numbers at each other while acting like theyre juggling is a sign this country is a mess? A quote made famous by a criminal rapper whose music is about being a fentanyl dealer/gangbanger

The same children are worshipping a woman who sings about her boyfriends dong, who happens to be a washed up football player

All encouraged by parents and teachers across the country

Yes. This country is changing

Sad ....
It's all downhill from here, I'm afraid.
It'll take just a few generations, then folks won't even know how good they would have had it.
Or, how it used to be.
They'll be happy the misery and won't even recognize it.
Sad ...

ITS EXACTLY how and why incremental gun control works. one generation let's stupp get out in place the next grows uo with it thinking its normal and a little more restrictions won't hurt.

I recall my grand father and my father complaining about same things. Every generation suffers this fate. You guys need to stop mourning the past. Embrace the future and boldly go where others dare to go..
Don't be afraid to be a your own captain Kirk..
It would make Mr Rogers so proud of you..

You first pal. I'm in no hurry to live inside a septic tank.

Ol dad

Country will balkanizw and they'll be pockets of good places left.

Yep, even simple words are being forgotten. Yes sir, no sir, yes mam, no mam .. Then there's please. thank you, have a good day. Even my grandsons whom I love dearly don't know how to just sit down and relax. No such thing. fingers just flicking and swiping on there cell phones. Times I think they would rather have a tooth pulled then leave there cell phone out of reach... Yep, It's a different world..

I stopped one mornin to get gas before headn on to the thruway it was during the busy time of the am when i watched a man dump his harley makin a turn
and i couldnt beleive that no one was stopping they just skipped around him almost hitting him i left the pump and hopped the fence almost getting crushed myself no one was stopping
some just layed on the horn and whipped around him when i got to him his bike was all messed up it was all i could do to pick it up and with his help was able to roll it to the shoulder still no one stopped
The world has changed no common curtisey no respect and i dont see it ever getting better i found you can only really have a handle on your immediate family to take the time to teach respect

Lack of common sense and loose morals. A lot of the fault belongs to the main stream media that strives on negativity.

My belief is that its up bringin and it should be if there is a broken rule there is a consequence

My father never said it till now. We're going down the toilet and losing our rights and our Nation's great identity at the same time. It's people that become complacent and blindly accept this change that exacerbate the problem in my opinion.

Whats really left of this great country, from top to bottom things are on the down hill, some say we are in great shape our country is so much better, I disagree and wonder what my kids and grandkids have to look forward too. Just how great do we have it?

Dang, we had it good, the older generation even better

Back in my music playing days i had the fortune to meet Don Williams. There was a little honky tonk outside of McCutchenville ohio called The Hollow In. And all the big country names played there. Mr. Williams was as good as they come. He would talk your ears off. One of the wildest i met was David allen coe. All he wanted to do was party and chase the wimmin.
