Blessed: Regarding your message of unity sometimes I feel the sooner we can break up the better. For instance the leftist California-Exit proposal. Let them have it. I just want to live how things used to be. If not I would like to get out of America soon.
You are extremely foolish if you think there exists some "La La land" country where the grass is so much greener than here. That's just delusional thinking. As for simply writing people off with hard hearts and defective thinking - that's not what Christ taught, now, IS it??? Of course, people will reject positive overtures and common sense, follow their own wrong desires, etc. But that does not mean we don't reach out or try to encourage reasonable, civil behavior and common sense. Seems easier to just demonize people and lump them into some group we are to despise, than to look at people as individuals we are COMMANDED to care about. Jesus didn't just say to only love those who agree with you or that seem likeable to us! So, I have MY responsibility to try to live as I'm called to, and others can either join us in that, or not. But if you only go around with a hard heart and cynical attitude towards people, then YOU will become part of the problem. As Christians, we are to be wise amongst the wolves of the world, but are called not to despise people who are blind and need Christ. A whole lot of Christians conveniently ignore that. Of COURSE people have all kinds of screwed up views - because their hearts and minds are messed up!
I see foreigners coming here because its such a great place.... good to raise a family.....but even NZ is going to the dogs. Same sex marriage... legal prostitution... Its changed radically...
I remember divorce and being a single mum was so rare when I was at school. Everyone seem to have two parents. Family values seem to have changed a lot.

Family values was a term that was twisted to mean women getting cooped up in the house with the kids.
Now women are cooped up in studio apartments alone. So progressive!

You mean family values being broken down more and more? It is sad, the impact such instability will have on children when at the larger levels of society there is no supporting structures, the instability in families merely brushed aside. There is nowhere for children to really turn to, even parents perhaps, it'll cause a lot of pychological issues. They're just going to have to deal with so many more issues mentally once adults than we do today.

No, you didn't rage, but the story clearly got under your skin, which is what it was meant to do. In fact, that's all it was meant to do. It's not an important event. It has no news value. It was only reported because it can be seen as one more data point supporting the FOX News version of reality.
Like I said, that crap will rot your brain.
I think you're right Ed. Thankfully, I supplement my daily foxnews with a healthy dose of Alex Jones' news.
Alex Jones keeps my schizophrenia in check.
I thought we heard you talking to Elanor Roosevelt the other day...

Understatement of the year award. And yes. His happened in the USA too. And nobody seems to remember. People don't seem to know or care that divorce used to be a dirty word and the single motherhood rate was 10% or less. I was not sure about New Zealand though.
People tell me I'm mistaken or overly romanticizing the past. But I remember for a fact things were like this ..
I don't understand why this is happening or what people did to deserve this ...
