The same thing is true of Star Children and Wanderers, they have a perspective of earth that only the very old STO earth souls can begin to appreciate. I would add control of women's reproductive ability. In the U.S. GOOD birth control should be free, legal and readily available. But the right wingers want to control when, if and where a woman reproduces, don't they? The right wing is oh so concerned about the unborn but once that baby is born they simply DO NOT CARE! This reveals the truth, it is all about control, but most of what is happening on earth is about control. Controlling YOU! |

It would seen to me that the Muslim world is being punished first. In the Western world it seems pretty obvious to me that the USA is already feeling the Lords wrath, with the UK following as a close second. The Missing Day... Quoting: Duncan KunzI agree that a culture that loses its relationship with its god(s) is on the way to extinction, but it is this very fact that makes the Muslims so dangerous -- they do practice their religion, and they practice it with a lot more vigor than we do. It is Islam -- although you and I may not consider it the "true" religion, it is obvious that the Muslims do -- which unites the Arabs, Iranians, Indonesians, Africans, as well as many immigrants from these cultures in Europe. Christianity used to unite Europe and the Americas, but does so no longer. It's this, more than any other thing, that makes Islam such a mortal danger to the rest of the world. Your comment makes this a five star thread. |

Yes, but patriarchal society is not the oldest form of society. IT just arose during the agrarian and industrial age. As society becomes less centralized in the Information Age, it's more natural to revert to the qualities of matriarchy, as we are doing. |

User ID: 689157 United States 07/28/2009 04:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When you begin to hear phrases like, "too big to fail," "jobs that Americans won't do," "everyone is entitled to a home." "government bail-outs," to everyone except the main tax-payers, the middle class. When a government becomes too secretive that is the beginning of tyranny. Terms like disintegrating economy, decadence, no borders, punishing entire groups of people for the sins and crimes of government. When those who still hold that loyalty and duty mean something, and then are labeled as terrorist by their government. When it costs 1 billion dollars to become president of the United States. When parents don't parent. We are past a sick culture, I think they're gonna kill America and Americans are going to let them. The Trojan Horse has penetrated the walls. Apathy and political correctness let him in. Washington is cancerous they all need to be dragged out by the hair of their heads. We should drug them and drag their sorry asses over the border into Mexico. Last Edited by >Anastasia< on 07/28/2009 04:59 PM |

I don't think it's any of the Government's business as to whether or not woman chooses to procure an abortion or a handgun. A woman should not have to have the government's, or her husband's, or her boyfriend's, or anyone else's permission if she wants to make the choice to get an abortion or a firearm. Forcing a woman to wait and take counseling before getting an abortion or a firearm is simply about control. Do you agree with that, Astrogal50?
