the comments from some of you young people on this forum underscore EXACTLY what I'm talkin about..
You have all been so corrupted by modern society that you can't even see it. Moral standards that were in place for THOUSANDS OF YEARS before you were even born were only overturned in the past 40 years.
These mores existed for a reason. They served as the basis for the formation of stable families and stable communities.
You fools who scoff at what has happened to our society really think that all we need is Austrian Economics and everything will be ok?
Look around.....half the damn country is medicated or addicted to booze, drugs etc. All trying to fill the emptiness inside...an emptiness caused by a dgenerate society that thinks "happiness" is to be found in material things and easy sex instead of faith in a higher power, stable relationships and traditional families.
50% divorce.....young people who never marry or have kids.....herpes, AIDS, screwed up emotional development, abortions, perversions, depression......
How's that sexual revolution thingey workin out for ya?
Yes, for thousands of years society has been working just fine and ALL OF A SUDDEN there were social problems.
Honestly, you're just an ignoramus. We know that for thousands of years, women and children were treated as subhuman sources of labor and sexual abuse. For thousands of years, there was no such thing as "childhood." Children were exposed to levels of violence and sexual abuse to a far greater degree than they are in modern day America (which has fewer incidents of child abuse than most "traditional" cultures in current times).
For thousands of years there was slavery, genocide, the use of rape as a weapon of war, terrible living conditions, virtually no knowledge of the causes of disease or the traumatizing effects of child abuse on children, and all sorts of terrible, terrible things based on a far more debauched system of morality than has ever been advocated by anyone who favors homosexual liberation.
It's people like you who are the greatest threat to human happiness. So ignorant that you hold the cult beliefs and mythology of a bronze age society as an undeniable truth, and so lacking in empathy you cannot see that your own judgmental and absolutist attitude is far more dangerous than sodomy between consenting adults ever was.
What's worse, divorce or arranged marriages? You really think that "traditional values" are so great, why don't you arrange the marriages of your children? Why don't you do what was always done in these "traditional societies" which is to perform abortions in secret at extreme risk to the woman? What about all the emotional trauma suffered by the victims of your sick absolutist morality? The homosexuals tormented, beaten, and murdered by people who shared your demented world-view - is there suffering immaterial to you? Who do you care about anyway? People like you? People who share your personal sexual and cultural values? How fitting for a person who subscribes to the ancient rambling myths of a band of desert nomads to subscribe to a tribal mentality.
You think depression, or the wide-spread use of narcotics is a NEW thing? Like I said before, you're simply ignorant of history and the fact that the things you are complaining about (as if it is the result of the fact that we treat homosexuality as exactly what it is - just another form of sexual fetish) not only existed in ALL previous societies, but also existed to a GREATER degree.
You can take your "traditional values" bullshit and shove it up your ass. Go join the fucking Taliban, I'm sure you'd be accepted with open arms as long as you grow a beard and decide that a different set of ancient scribblings about a sky-god is more appealing.
