Honest to God, if we tolerate this stuff, I'm starting to think this country doesn't deserve to survive. I'll go a step farther, and say that I no longer care if the end is near...as long as it's the whole world that ends, and not just the USA.

It seems to me that in countries where mere survival is difficult, people are more likely to keep their heads on straight and life's real priorities in order and in focus. It's only in the Western democracies, where life has become too easy, that these kinds of perversions arise to take the place of real purpose and struggle. I'd like nothing more than to pull that candle out of that guy's ass and shove it back in lit end first. Then he wouldn't need anyone to pull him around that soapy surface, but rather he'd scoot around under his own power.

You're on to something MDD, and I'll take it a step further. Our fathers fought with the belief they were doing so for our country in the 40's - 60's, and that mindset was pervasive as we were growing up.
The Vietnam war ended up being the catalyst for an examination of our country's leadership and the beginning of the erosion of confidence in it to get us on the way to current times.
Look no further than the mass exodus transpiring in CA to see we've lost our will to fight for what's right, and replaced it with a flight mentality.
That's not the fault of any particular political party.

Maybe different in other forums, but I think those on THIS forum believe their ass is ... You bet your ass that is the case.

Is anybody else bothered as much as I am by what is happening on our college campuses? There hasn't been this level of blatant calls for the extermination of Jews by a civilized country since Germany in the mid 1930's. And what bothers me the most is not the 10% of brainless and rabid lunatics who may support that call, but the 90% of us who quietly tolerate it. I guess as long as we have the Super Bowl and the NFL draft to watch, and can get a new iPhone every year, we've grown complacent enough to put up with just about anything. What in the hell has happened to us?

I am MD. I thought the Ukraine war divided the country. But this anit-Jew mentality is pretty dramatic. It is mostly coming from the left, obviously. Did everyone forget what happened in October?
Here is a poll. Which war is most likely to end in nuclear war?

Here is a poll. Which war is most likely to end in nuclear war? Whats most bizarre is the media, much of Hollywood is Jewish. What we are seeing is these liberal institutions like our academia as well as those who perpetuate liberalism (Hollywood studios run by Jews) are seeing their little communist crazy chickens come home to roost. Again, this all goes back to Covid and the time when we allowed pure chaos,George Floyd Riots, BLM, Antifa, Homelessness, Defund the Police, Legalized drugs, tearing down of statues, monuments which has led to all this. I was actually @ UCLA today, I use UCLA Medical for my doctors, it was shut down, no classes, just cops, security, helicopters, media circus. I hesitated to even drive there today but its so hard to get appts these days...

Not only will they be run over, but if they hit my window when my grandkids are in the car, they might have some small, fast moving projectiles coming back at them

Looks like the typical leftist hypocritical reaction. They proudly demonstrate in support of those who rape and torture Jews to death, but when one of their own gets bumped by car, they can't handle it.

Speaking of that, did you happen to see the documentary "Screams before Silence" or the clip of what happened to Lara Logan?

I had a lengthy discussion with a couple friends last night about these university antics. We are all over 60, and we grew up in a time when if children acted up or threw a tantrum, they got their asses paddled by their dads. We also all came to the conclusion that is what is needed with today's far left "progressives". Take them out behind the woodshed and spank them until they can't sit down for a month.
The perfect example of the world these people live in is when the demonstrators at UCLA, who support Hamas rapists and murderers, took over a school building and "demanded" they be given vegan and gluten-free food, and lotion. Lotion!!! For God's sake, nothing better demonstrates just how self-entitled and out of touch these morons are.

Likely sun screen lotion, as if the fake hijab's were not protecting them from the sun and global warming.

I'll go a step farther, and say that I no longer care if the end is near...as long as it's the whole world that ends, and not just the USA. If this country collapses into a state of rubble and chaos, it will be because we gave it away without a fight to a small bunch of lunatics. When a society does that, it deserves whatever it gets.

This all started when there was no consequences for the riots, BLM and Antifa. It then moved to destruction of public and private properties, the tearing down and removal of all things pertaining to anything with past American history was the straw that broke the camels back. So yes, there was no fight fromm one side or our side and compliance and aid in al of this from the other. With that it happened quickly.
What our college campuses have become is just another step further down this road.
