Subj : Re: To : Gregory Deyss From : Reverend Shaft Date : Mon Sep 09 2024 00:58:46 GD> social contract? GD> It's called Parenting. Children learn what is acceptable from their GD> parents. That's a load. If that were true, you wouldn't be out there complaining about the trans movement or kids being sissies or whatever gets your panties in a bunch because parents like you would be teaching your young sons (and daughters) what "real" men do. None of today's youth problems would exist. I opened with a statement about the complexity of situations like this, and you came straight out with guns a'blazin'. You have no interest in genuine discourse here. GD> At what time is a child transformed from a having a promising future to GD> having no future. Is this when the culture of hip-hop and do what you GD> want mentality become more dominant and the guidance from parents GD> becomes a thing that happens in other families. Hello, Mr. Red Herring. GD> Ok but I will. It is beyond obvious. Good. You can have that argument with yourself. GD> There was a time when young men used to bring riffles to school as a GD> instrument of pride. I don't remember that time. My parents don't, either. Maybe my grandparents did, but I'd guess that was to protect themselves from wildlife, not from the Commies. GD> Is Diversity and Inclusion responsible, I think it is. aka: Feelings... If diversity and inclusion were the issue, I'd wager a guess that most of these school shootings wouldn't be happening. GD> I have no problem with anyone wanting to express themselves, but why GD> must we all be forced to witness and celebrate their triumph? What in the unholy fried chicken are you talking about? GD> This has transformed our landscape from being strong to a bunch of GD> sissies. Sigh. RS --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 (Windows/32) * Origin: The Arena BBS ú netasylum.com:2323 (1:226/44) .
