Without reading through the entire tread, *sorry, I think that it's important that we identify our priorities in life and not just go off and self indulge ourselves into the things that we want to do, that doesn't build character, moderation does. I believe that it's important that "society", be it, the educational establishment, social activities, the media, televised programming etc. make a good impression upon their pupils and / or audience . Life isn't all fun, games . . . and sex ! There's plenty of business to attend to if we wish to survive.
Today, among this generation, we witness a western society that is abundant with divorce, broken families and children born to a single parent. This in and of itself sets the stage for things to worsen for the next succeeding generation. Before long, the "family" for all practical matters will be ancient history. The norm will become that we humans will just
screw each other like bunnies, or
sheep as it were, and we'll likely become subjugated by dictators ! It's happened before ! Look at what "ultimate" decadence did to Rome ? (†lead pipes ?)
I'm more or less a laissez faire kind of guy - First do no harm, but do as you please. . . but behave yourself. Thx for reading
