Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What happened to us in the USA???

Please forgive me, but I think you are greatly out of touch. It is the snowflake generation.[/quote]

I work with millennials every day. Few are actual snowflakes. I finished a degree just 4 years ago, at a state brick and mortar University. Again, I encountered few actual snowflakes. Sure, there were a few crazy snowflakes, but they were the minority, not the majority.

It was designed to infiltrate and influence media, advertising, and hollywood.

Yes, seriously.

Read my quotes, that's a Union Fudd that posted them.

While that may be an element in the equation, “the problem” was seeded long before WWll and any Jewish immigrants and is ongoing.

Amen.

I never typed what is here under my name, explain please

Seems many here are either ignorant or in denial of the culture war that is destroying our country?
They seem unable to connect the dots.

A bunch of old white men, raging about the destruction of America... what a laugh.

You have had it better then ANYBODY for the last 200 years!


If you are older then 40, YOU ruined America by letting it get out of control.

Yep, and these men and their dads and grandfathers are the ones who made it that way. Surely though, the queeer way is better, right?

So, what's your age and ethnicity? And why do you hang out on a website full of old white men?

I can remember when the mantra used to be, don't judge someone by the color of their skin. I guess it's still the mantra, it just doesn't apply to certain people, like white men.

Seems hypocritical when you stop to think about it. And yes, I realize you don't do that.

Democrat matriarchy. See what I mean, in addition to brainwashing POS like Walt here, they also made him illiterate.. It's THAN, stupid, not THEN...

Smokepole:
I`m not older then 40 and white for several generations.
I´m here to learn about rifles and hunting.

It just irritates me about older people bitching and moaning about how everybody else has ruined America. When its their generation that made it how it is today.
A Republican Party bought by the fundamentalist Christians and big business..
A Democratic party constantly involved in identity politics instead of workers rights and middle class jobs.



So whorge1.. still biching and complaining I see. I see retirement has been good to you as well.

In 20 years, whites will be a minority and Spanish will be a official language. Moan about that please.. it not todays "millennial's" fault. Its yours!

The progressive downward slide began with FDR, and his croneys! The Democratic party has been pushing America down ever since! Being over 40 has nothing to do with this downward progression! Not living by the Constitution, and voting for crooks has brought us to this level! In fact it's the under 40 voters, that are the progressive problem! Mostly under 40 and city raised! IMO

and the same message said in another way, using another set of words, it's all about the us turning more and more toward materialism as the standard to live by. workers including women as a part of the economy in terms of jobs and thusly out of the home. the children turned over to professional bureaucrats (teachers) to raise. the need for two jobs if we're to have a nice house, vehicles, vacations, and keeping the tax bill paid so that the police state doesn't take all of our stuff.

it is our own fault. who else could it be, but us? the social contract with the blacks gave the whites jobs in suburban america, and the blacks got free welfare as long as they agreed the black males would stay out of the house. lot's of them took the opportunity to go to prison (sarcasm here). anyways, lot's of kids growing up without a male figure. lot's of hi-jackings, house break-ins, etc now.

and besides, no need to stay on the farm and starve. move to the 'burbs and get a job. the farms can be bought up by doctors, lawyers, real estate investors, and turned into game preserves, environmental habitats, and weekend retreats from the jobs in the big cities.

it's all followed a process, and we're all willing victims. now, we want to change the social contract, do we?

I'm not sure anything "happened" other than we failed to stagnate in a state the O.P. approves of. As long as the population continues to increase, as long as the technology "improves", etc change is absolutely unavoidable. Moreover, the rate of change increases so quickly we are never able to get out of a reactive mode and into any sort of planned, guided mode of change. Y' know what? If you have any kids, you've contributed, if you use technology (like being here on the internet) you've contributed whether that contribution was deliberate and willful or whether the contribution is rooted in ignorance of consequence of the choices you've made.

It is what it is. Whining doesn't fix it.

It started earlier than that. Check into Woodrow Wilson and everybody's hero Teddy Roosevelt.

And even older than the both of them..

Yep.

Woodrow was a huge turning point.

To a large extent, he's right. We all saw what was going on and chose to bitch about it rather than getting involved and doing something. Now, it's likely too late to turn it around without violence. Not that there is anything wrong with violence at this point, but few would sacrifice their 401K's and lazy boy's for heavy lifting.

Homeschooling does not (necessarily) lead to poor socialization. Separating them from the world? Do you mean separating them from the often vulgar, undisciplined classmates they'd have in a public school, and from the liberal claptrap of many of their teachers? That's exactly why we homeschooled our sons! It is my duty as a parent to protect my children from harm (physical, intellectual, and moral harm) and that's what we tried to do. My oldest son was homeschooled through high school, went to a small private liberal arts-type university as an undergraduate, did grad school in a large public university, and now is a professor in a large public university. His social skills are just fine, thank you very much. The other two were homeschooled for a few years until we allowed them to go to the Christian academy run by the church we had begun attending. They have done well in the real world too. They are all Christian conservatives that represent their generation quite well. In fact, they are far superior to what their old man was at the same age.

I realize that not all children who attend public schools are riff-raff. My sons met a lot of kids from public schools at church and through rec-league baseball and basketball and some of them were good kids with good parents. Some were not and our sons tried to be a good example for them and to reach out to them. You should realize as well that not all homeschooled kids are isolated from the real world, in fact very few are.

A little casual research on your part would have dispelled this notion of homeschoolers being sub-par in any area you care to choose.
