What Has Happened to Our Society?

[Willie99]

This individual is obviously lost. Advocating for equality, clean air, & helping others in need has absolutely nothing to do with being a strong individual or 'growing a pair'. Educate yourself on politics if you want to express an opinion....Sad.

The pretense that we're advocates for pollution and we're NOT advocates for helping others is where your argument is simply categorically incorrect. That's superficial bullshit, and you're begging the question to begin with so stop pretending you're making some intellectual argument.

Who doesn't want a clean planet? Seriously? There's nothing of substance to this position of yours. Like everything else, a clean environment starts at home, and I'm going to suggest it's the liberals and the democrats that have created and inhabit the least environmental friendly neighborhoods in the country.

Helping others? We have a different approach. Growing the economy and creating jobs is how you lift people out of poverty. Handouts create poverty, and it shows when you look at all the democratic cities and states. In CT, democrats like to argue we "don't do enough" for the poor, much like you do. They cite the disparity between wealth and impoverished. The truth is we're very generous and we're doing too much. The more comfortable you make living on social assistance, the more poverty you create and attract. Just look at what's going on in all the left coast cities.

Are you talking about the border? Well we're the most generous country on earth, giving more than the rest of the world combined. And we're enabled to do so because of our economic might created by capitalism and enabled by our constitution. If we ignore our laws, if we simply open our borders to everyone, we won't be able to sustain our economic strength and when that happens we'll be fighting to provide for ourselves and we won't be able to help anyone else.

Liberals want to undo everything that made this country GREAT, and if it wasn't GREAT, then why are people trying to come here?

These are things people should just inherently know. The way you have to spell it out for others is just sad because it really is just plain ol simple common sense. Willie, hats off to you grinding this out day after day but damn some of these people are just ignorant and prideful of their own liberal stupidity. They strive for utopia which means taking away our freedoms and controlling the masses. I give a big giant middle finger to that logic and to whom ever received such liberal “education”. Education my ass. The kind of education that has nothing to do with, as you said, thinking.

Thanks for the cliff notes. No way could I read that shit looking like that.

Liberalism. That’s what happened to our society. Awful, just awful.

I'm sure I will get a plethora of bashers on here, and quite frankly I could care less. Those are the very people I try to distance from the most anyway. And those individuals deep down are unhappy at the core anyways. If they weren't, they would feel no need to vocalize so much bigotry, inequality, and hate. People who are happy w/ themselves and their lives practice something called Gratitude ('to show appreciation for & to return kindness). This isn't an opinion, it's a fact backed by numerous research studies.
As I age, My feelings of hopelessness for this country & society as a whole grow by the day (especially after Americans elected a man who is built on these undesired qualities. What ever happened to Humility, Compassion, and Consideration?? Whatever happened to helping others less fortunate/Caring for our planet/Promoting peace.
We are so damn fortunate to be born in this country, which we had no control over. How can any individual (Especially a 'President'), treat a population so inhumanely as Trump has w/ those from Mexico. Ripping children from their parents w/o a second thought. What I have seen over the past 3.5 years has been absolutely deplorable. People need to wake up and realize the important things in life.
I hope people start looking into the actions of our politicians rather than listening to their words. Has Trump ever said he was wrong, has he ever apologized for anything, has he ever considered the life of someone who has grown up in poverty and what that would be like, has he ever considered what will happen to this planet if we continue to pollute our air and oceans?? NO, HE HASN'T...In other words, he is incapable of feeling Empathy. For those of you who support him, know that you are in favor of having a Sociopath run our country. Once again, not an opinion but a fact. I've studied this for years and throughout graduate school. Narcissistic + Lack of Empathy = AntiSocial Personality Disorder. Wake up people! Gain some knowledge or at the very least some compassion for our planet and other human beings. That is part of being a human being.

I can't speak for anyone else here, but I would be happy to take you to ANY MLK Blvd in America, let you out of the car and you will QUICKLY find REAL hate REAL Sociopathic behavior real quick. As far as the "condition" of the detainment facilities at the border, that is a very easy problem to solve. DON'T CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY and you wont have to worry about it. Pretty fkng simple. So do me a favor stick your head back in the sand. Thanks!

My pleasure Ham. The truth is I've been making these arguments > 30 years so it comes rather easily for me. And when I discuss politics and or policy with people, I usually have to do so in a rational, reasonable, informed and non abrasive manner, so I've honed those skills. Around here I just tend to push a lot of buttons, but if someone wants to have a mature conversation I'll give them a shot.

Normally stay out of politics, and haven’t read too many of your posts but Willie you do a damn good job of trying to state facts WITHOUT emotions. Too often see liberals (and conservatives too) ranting and raving to the point you ignore any valid comments.
