If only someone could have predicted that if we stopped brainwashing children, they'd go back to normal.


I always wonder where this idea came from that children weren't impressionable.


Oh, that's right, evil progressives.

Some are real (as in purely from biology). Most are influenced


Few. I'll give there though.

And the reason the influenced are running rampant is because of a society that has largely lost sight of Virtue, temperance, etc.

I think it's just natural ebbs and flows of society.


Society being the inorganic nature of culture, marketing, profit, etc., all of the things that influence the being of someone.

I'll take that explanation, since that means that perverted sexual desires are not real, and are simply influenced externally.

It's strange to see MAGA sticking up for children who are born. Usually, that ends after delivery.

Kudos! This bitch should get life.


Be honest, why are you saying this? Illegal immigrants? Disagreement with the pure breadth of welfare? Reducing government spend and trying to hold people responsible for their choices?

Surely not because of abortion?

The dude can't be a working overtime blue collar worker and also do what he does. That's impossible.

This is dumb. He has a perspective and opinion that is needed and had found a way to make it lucrative and promote it at the same time.

He's doing good.

This is an incredibly female take akin to "lived experience" is a requirement to have an opinion or promote a thing.

Sack up and don't be jealous. Mike Rowe found a way to do good, be famous and make money. Not everything is a grift.
Yay more government!

You guys will rant and rave about government overstepping its bounds, but we're "A-Ok" here.

As usual, while Lesbian Tribal Dance studies should NOT be a college major, or get federal dollars, you are going to see a lot of normal college degrees wrapped up in this too, which is a huge problem.


I've been super clear about this before, I will put my take home pay and worth against anyone here - on my "probably shouldn't have been federally funded" Literature degree AND MA. (It wasn't I didn't need it, but still, point stands). There are different ways to learn, people with different strengths, different ways to view the world. We do not need to limit the "good" ideas to math and science majors.


The proper thing here is LESS government, and no federally funded degrees. Period.


There are a lot of things that need to change about education, but this isn't one of them, outside of removing the fed dollars completely.

Remember guys, for the progressives you don't actually have to be something to "be" something. A man can be a woman. A non-Skywalker can be a Skywalker, a human can be a cat.

It doesn't matter what you are, just what you believe. As long as Rey says she's a Skywalker, she's a Skywalker. 100% true blooded Skywalker.

You are welcome.

If you go in with a bad attitude, you’re going to lose.



or if you go in only thinking about what you get out of it. Or if you walk in thinking that marriage and "love," is self-focused - that it's sole purpose is to give me good feelings every day and as soon as it doesn't, it's not worth it.

Media and Culture more than anything have ripped the idea of marriage to pieces. And continue to do so.

Marriage and Family is not about sex and love and feelings. But that's what movies and music, unfortunately, tell us. It's about mutual sacrifice for a positive end - aka children who are good humans that continue the good trend by being imbued with a good moral code, the ability to mutually sacrifice, who go on and create a better world after you.
The failure of marriage in the modern culture is the fault of everyone - Men, Women, Media, Culture, Politics, etc. - all of it.

We are responsible as long as we let nefarious forces control it, and abandoning marriage because "reasons" just sends us further down that path. Fixing everything takes sacrifice. Find the right woman, get married, have kids, raise them right. It isn't a complicated formula and there are normal women out there. But the only way around this is through, not by avoidance.

I find it strange how men get attacked for expressing reservations about getting married


People are getting attacked for poor reasons, but I do understand why it feels that way.

Here are some things not to do:

1. We need to get away from celebrating hookup culture. All of it. No you don't need notches on your belt. Christians have this one right, and most of modern society will never realize this because they just want to get their rocks off as much as possible.

2. On that note, if you can't restrain yourself a little - stop expecting sex by the fifth date or whatever the current trend is. Stop seeking it out. Keep your count below 5. That's not the point of dating or marriage.

3. Stop looking at porn. Yup. Stop. Cold turkey.

That's a good start to reset expectations. Bring on the "prude" comments. It won't matter, I'm 100% right on this. All of it impacts your perspective, your psyche, how you see others, how they see you, etc. It's all connected.

1. Shrek wasn't really taking an already conceived story and "subverting your expectations." The king was clearly bad. Shrek was clearly good. Yes it used pieces of fairytales, but it played with them. I will say, it's success probably started this trend, or opened the door, but it was a different thing and on its own.

2. One movie, in isolation, isn't a trend, the point of the reaction is that Hollywood is doing this everywhere. Any POV just needs to be understood. There is no evil in the world. It's ridiculous.

What is the point of justifying the actions of every single kids movie villain for the last two decades?


Welcome to the party.

The point is to continue the war against objective truth and to make kids learn that any point of view, any action is completely valid. The ends justify the means and all.
Kids who don't do ANYTHING and ask for money for their sports.

Car wash? Popcorn? Pick up trash? Like give me something in return. I already pay taxes to support schools.

But clearly she isn't.

I know we'll never win this point, but just leave Christian imagery alone. You don't like it. You don't like Christians. Just be cool and leave it all alone.
Let's keep moving scientific definitions so that we can continuously push murderous ideas.

They've already got most people believing that a fetus is not a person, I don't know why this one is really necessary. But evil loves to out evil itself.
