“A key senator has asked the Social Security Administration to investigate how people who live their lives role-playing as â??adult babiesâ?? are able to get taxpayer-funded disability payments â?? after one of them was featured on a recent reality TV episode wearing diapers, feeding from a bottle and using an adult-sized crib he built.”
And the result of the investigation…
I give up on this country. I do. We suck, admit it. Tell him to get his overweight ass out of his crib and get a damn job. The friggen arrogance of this idiot. “I’ll kill myself if the tax payers don’t fund my fetish.” I don’t like hostage takers demanding a ransom from me. Even when the hostage is themselves. I’d call his bluff, and let his death be on his head, not ours. What a despicable human being. I can’t believe he’ll continue getting his fetish subsidy at our expense. We are weak-willed mush. We deserve to go bankrupt. Too bad generations not even born yet will have to pay for our inability to be judgmental, to make decisions based on hard reality, and to hold people accountable for themselves. We suck.

I know it sucks to have a political conversation with a guy that says it’s all pointless–that we’re doomed–but I’m becoming that guy. We are told, in no uncertain terms, that we can not grow and/or tax our way out of the oncoming national meltdown, and yet, we can’t even insist that an adult ween himself off of a literal nipple. We are done. By the time we accept that, “oh crap, maybe we have to cut our spending,” we’ll have already crossed into meltdown territory.

Then again, most empires end and you must admit that this is an interesting twist.

Holy dog shit. We are just too damn soft. We have learned as a culture to ‘accept’ everything, to ‘not make judgements’ etc. The 1960s altered our culture forever.
I thought 9/11 would be our wakeup call. I think if someone nukes a whole city, I really don’t think we will learn even then. I hate to say it, but it’s true.

Pretty much in agreement with you. The ways we seem to slide now are sometimes humorously terrible like the diaper guy and sometimes just terrible like this http://kotaku.com/200561/philadelphia-man-kills-baby-over-video-game
along with the fact that there are apparently lots of cases similar to this.
It does seem like a nice reset would be good sometimes.

What specifically was so bad about the 60s? Do you mean the civil rights movement?
[quote]anonfactor wrote:<<< What specifically was so bad about the 60s? >>>[/quote]I said the following several months ago in response to guy deluding himself about how gay marriage would have no appreciable affect on our society. [quote]It is the latest component in a national suicide that began in earnest in the 1960’s. It HAS AND IS having an appreciable effect. A devastating suicidal one. This country was built on the social/political/economic foundation of very limited public government through privately and voluntarily practiced Judeo-Christian morality.
Oh yes it was. Our founders clearly told us that. “The reason we can give you so few rules boys n girls is because you’re already so well behaved on the whole” to paraphrase in a nutshell. Even the total hypocritical pagans like Jefferson and Franklin clearly understood this.
The soil out of which new citizens grow is their family or lack thereof. Every single last issue killing this country is a direct consequence of that. The founders assumed that we would continue in the new testament model of one man and one woman for life wherein boundaries that engender self sacrifice, self control, decency, modesty and HONESTY in the act of upholding one’s vows because one’s word actually meant something. All of this was predicated upon the assumption that God designed it that way. That was the soil for new citizens they absolutely counted on for their experiment in self government to succeed and it did.
We skyrocketed into the most prosperous, powerful, feared and respected nation in all of human history over the course of a few generations BECAUSE despite our human foibles we were the most moral because we were the most Christian. Look at the soil our citizens are growing in now. Children of the hippies. Hedonistic, self obsessed, narcissistic, materialistic whores whose mission in life is bringing themselves the most pleasure in the most rapid fashion possible.
ALL the economic woes we are now in ARE, make no mistake, the consequence of the sexually moral degeneration of this nation’s citizenry resulting in the destruction of the foundational social unit upon which she was built and out of which her members are spawned. Even Stalin understood this. He told the world that the United Sates would never be defeated as long as she maintained her spirituality and hence MORality.
Wanna know what’s rotting this nation dead from the inside out like an oozing flesh eating virus? Go look in your Sex and the Male Animal forum. We will destroy OURSELVES to the snickering glee of our many enemies without a shot being fired, all in the name of getting laid. Gay marriage is just the latest chapter. [/quote]
