It used to be that folks were judged by their own actions. Now we seem to be judged by the actions of our friends or perhaps just whatever your friends or associates (or just people on the same forum) say. Of course we don't even know what they said because there's no evidence given. You guys in the US keep talking about freedom but if it's only freedom for some folk in society then it's not really freedom.
All of that is simply untrue. Whether it's nostalgia on your part for happier days, or simply a foggy memory, I don't know.
The difference between now and the year 1 BW (before web), is that people simply have many more opportunities to be as blatantly asinine and forthcoming about themselves as possible, now with worldwide exposure to their foibles and stupidity.
While this generation is not whimpering about its "privacy being violated", it's online announcing it's most private and trivial secrets. . "I just farted, can I get a like for that"?
Once upon a time there was a social protest chant which went, "the whole world is watching, the whole world is watching, et al". But this was when the news cameras were rolling, and people were trying to get a point across. Now .the "whole world is watching", simply as a matter of course.
Were you to apply for a job in law enforcement, who you kept company with would be heavily scrutinized, .and could very well make the difference between you getting the job, or getting the boot. I honestly don't see that there should be a difference in background checks for those we intend to afford an all access pass to our finest schools and top level technologies. The guy that's teaching advanced chemistry has almost certainly been subjected to the same background check,that this immigrant is bellyaching about failing.
When I walk back from the pub through my local park at night I'm fairly certain I'm not going to get murdered. When my kids go to college then I'm also fairly certain they won't get killed in some mass shooting. If we get ill then we just go to hospital without worrying about whether we can afford it. We can also say what we believe without having to worry that others will view us as being a bad American. That's not to say where I live is Utopia, it isn't but it's fairly free.
Hey, I'm completely on board with the idea that the US is going to hell in a hand basket. But a huge part of that problem, is all the politically correct liberal bullsh!t being handed.out
Trump actually has some good ideas, it's too bad he's unwilling to play by the rules he intends to create for others. The fact that he's an egomaniac and a pathological liar isn't helping either.
At the core of America's problems, is the fact that individuals are no longer responsible for their own actions. After that, I could go on for pages about how social issues here have become distorted to the extreme convenience and benefit of ethnic, criminal, and sexual concerns.
Hell, a local priest was just arrested for dipping into his parish's coffers to the tune of a hundred grand, part of which went toward buying male companionship. Oh well, I suppose things are looking up, since they didn't nail him for diddling the choir boys.
So, our male police commissioner was forced to step down. Part of the reason is that he was named in a sexual and racial discrimination lawsuit, (although not as a defendant). Predictably, a woman now has the job. This is a fat cow, who obviously never met a doughnut she didn't like. My question is, if you're going to demand "equal pay for equal work", how in god's name would this pig ever be able to run down a fleeing suspect? Or would that bit of physical exertion get left to her manservant. (I'm sorry, I meant "partner").
