More young women looking at life as a Nun

, the ones who become wards in public housing and assistance.

You are standing into danger. I may start rooting for the alligators and their death rolls. We who wind up in The Poorhouse definitely do not want our decisions made for us. As far as females living a cloistered lifestyle, I think the church should bring back convents and their strict 1:1 sex ratios.

IMHO, lots of people want their decisions made for them.

Look at the huge drug problem
of people in their 20's, it's of
epidemic proportions. They opt
of decisions and responsibility
by taking drugs. I had a blood
draw this week. The nurse told
me she comes from NYC and
the hospital she worked at
automatically does a drug screen
on all patients under 30. Because
so many are on drugs and will
lie about it.

Religion is just another drug, books
have been written about it.

You may not, but many do. I remember a thing years back said 1/3 of people in public housing would do fine on their own but needed a kick to make it happen, 1/3 could make it with lots of coaching, and 1/3 were hopeless, institutionalized.

I saw a survey where 25% of college
students want an authoritarian
govt that makes all their decisions
for them and gives them money
and tons of free time.

I buy that. Even more of the USA would trade their freedom for "security" and "comfort."

My position, not free of the alligators but am for the night.

We may be seeing a "snap back" of sorts to what the culture has become. I think it was Marta Limbaugh who came up with the idea. See, generations move to more traditional then to more debauchery. Look back at the late 1800s. The Southwest was one crazy place. All kinds of drinking and any woman who went out there without a husband either became a whore or was treated as one. Gambling at every saloon. Free for all. Even in the rest of the USA it was wild. They drank like 5-10 times what we do today. Heroin and cocaine for sale on every corner drugstore.

After quite some time of this, the temperance movement came about. And banning gaming. Too many people could not stand what they were living in and said "ENOUGH." Things got less loosey-goosey. This snap-back peaked with Prohibition.

Then you had 1930-1964. 30s/40s was depression and war. You had to live small and keep with family to survive. 1945-1964 was all about the nuclear family. You could not say "pregnant" on TV, they said "expecting." Well, the Boomers saw all of this and demanded a more "open" society. Started about 1964 and never let up. Ebbs and flows, but the trend was there.

Now you have calls to legalize many drugs. Open homosexuality at every turn. Traditional marriage and family is being seen as a "thing for well off White people." What you see today you would hardly imagine even in the 1980s, let alone 1960. You have a group saying "ENOUGH!" These women IMHO are in that group.

One other thing. I heard this on a podcast I sent to FrG, about "why men hate church." It had many interesting points. But one hit me. It said the worse a woman's relationship and shall we say "luck with men" the more likely she was to be more religious. In effect, Jesus becomes the man in their life. If these women fall into that group, it makes more sense.

Prohibition was driven by all the
immigration from Russia, Poland,
and E EU countries. They were
totally uneducated and drank like
fish. Every weekend was get blind
drunk and beat your wife half
to death.

dead for 2000 years can be anybody
you want him to be. Sick stuff.. PM

Nonsense. That was propaganda from a Canadian Jewish distillery owner. It started with the Foreign Food (Mixed Foods) movement spearheaded by ministers and doctors hired by the Canadian to espouse the Christian ideals of how it was important for White Christians to eat separate foods rather than the stews and casseroles of foreigners. This is where we get the term Blue Plate Special from it was a sectioned plate and showed the person was eating in a Christian manner rather than in a style such as was practiced by any of the sixteen European races.

New England ministers and Connecticut doctors were among the expert scholars who lead the anti-Foreign Foods movement. Meanwhile the changing demographics of the US and the increased divide between urban and rural lifestyles fed the papers with a constant tattoo on the evils of Italians (wine and casseroles) Germans (Beer and Casseroles) Hungarians (wines and stews) Lithuanians (hard spirits). Also crime was emphasized for such groups including the Syndicalists and socialists. This is why the Prohibitionalists and TeeTotalers of the Temperance movement became so powerful in American elections. When you do a Cash Roots Analysis you find that Canadian distiller funded the Foreign Food experts, the Temperance pamphleteers and newspapers that removed neutral politicians from office, etc.

That is how the industry went from thousands of breweries and distilleries in an unregulated industry to eight distlllers in a regulated but highly profitable industry. (oh, and even that company in Michigan that made the Blue Plates was Canadian owned).

Anything to get rid of casseroles I can get behind.

LOL.
The foreign foods movement was strange, but backed by the best ministers and scholars that money could buy.
