Huh?
Who knew that living with ssomeone before marriage was destroying the US?
...guy sure has a porn fixation as well.

The financial stuff, yeah. And we are overmedicated and fat.
Living with someone before marriage and watching porn with them is no one's business but that couple's. The Moral Majority rides again!

Agreed!

I thought watching porn was a form of "SAFE SEX"?

a reply to: seeker1963

As Long as you wash your hand.

The good points of that list were buried by all of the morality high horse.
You could probably pare it down to 12, maybe 15.

a reply to: CHinauser

America is in decline for many reasons, but most of these are just insane. Top of my list is that young adults today will have a lower standard of living and less rewarding job opportunities than their parents did. That is a 100% sure sign that your nation is in decline, no other examples needed.

You beat me to those comments...apparently there's more sex in that list than anything else. So sex is bad and leads to moral decay?

Dude I need to get in the porn business that is an incredible amout of money im missing out on. Any of you ATSers want to ne a star???

a reply to: CHinauser

ahahah I stopped reading after #7. How does that show a country in decline.

Oh crap, did I just contribute to the decline of America?
For a country with enough nukes to destroy the world
and more military bases than i've had hot meals, your
people seem quite easily defeated by an awkward situation.
I agreed with a 1/4 of what was in that list, but REALLY?
No one ever had any STD's, sex out of wedlock or looked
at a naked picture of a lady (or group of women) until
the creation of America? BTW , for a whole swathe
of human existance almost no one married before
bearing children. I thought America was all
about liberty and freedom of choice, you seem
quite against that. (ie. STAY OUT MY EFFING BEDROOM/
RELATIONSHIP)

a reply to: the owlbear

The majority of Nazis were ok with exterminating the Jews. Moral majority means nothing, another fallacy"everyone is doing it!".

My wife and I had a baby out of wedlock. Then a year later we married. Been together for 15 years and have three screamin' brats. I don't see how we hurt America by doing it this way.

LOL

Right on. Running from the truth when it's a bitter pill to swallow is the real reason here. You can run that all across the board and it applies to everything and everyone pretty much anywhere. With America leading the pack of scared rats.

a reply to: kelbtalfenek

It doesn't cause moral decay it's a symptom. Same thing happened with our ancestor Rome. That whole fall of Rome thing would have gone different with nukes and cruise missiles.

The point is most Americans are so disillusioned at this point that they can't maintain healthy relationships and are engaging in more and more self harm and abuse of others.

This list is pretty flawed but you guys are engaging in the western thought mode. Look at the forest not the tree. The tree in front of you is beautiful but not so far the forest is burning.

I only got to about #7 and shook my head in wonderment at why I had read even that many. Of those seven, none I could find had anything to do with America's "decline". Decline from what? Some puritan model utopia which the US never was?
People watching porn?

I skipped to #44. Oral sex?????? Having oral sex is a "fact of decline", Are you kidding me?

The last five are all about abortion?????? Yeah, I guess my first guess was correct. Some puritan model utopia.

The reason America is in decline is because the individual has been thrown under the bus in favor of a Corporate fascist takeover.

Work, consume, fight the pointless wars and stfu....
