And to what might you be referring? It’s never as simple as “the hedonism of the Romans” or the “hubris of Napoleon”, the “overreach of the Persians” or other sound bite history. Try reading about the collapse not just of empire, but the whole of civilization in 1177 BC. It’s always more complicated and nuanced.

Your right it’s not simple, it’s very complicated and many many factors play a part even little issues over time create bigger issues….many fail to see the lil issues because they seem insignificant at the present time whether it be then or now.  
Our luxuries and conveniences are a manipulative enemy and over the course of time we will lose whether it be this generation or the next so on and so forth, but it will happen.  Technology has sped up indoctrination and confusion no matter what side you sit on.  
look at what children deal with now? They are the future…..but what does that future look like?

Same was said about technology when the printing press was invented.  Time was children were not much more than instruments of production.  Look no further than the coal mines of England in the 19th century. Kids are much better off today. Guess what I’m trying to say is history is most always judged according to the norms of the present. Barring a mutually assured destructive event, things will always get better incrementally despite the setbacks we encounter along the way.  I am always the optimist.

I deal with kids everyday of all ages so I have pretty good grasp of the situation.  Printing press  is a lot different than a toddler and up kids with a screen in front of their face 24/7.  Kids have the ability to see and hear things that are not age appropriate…..

kids are being affected….being optimistic doesn’t change anything that’s just a feeling with no action.

I understand your point, but historical perspective is still important. The same was said of radio. The same was said of television. The same is said of any revolutionary technological advance. Society assimilates it and pushes forward overcoming the obstacles. Optimism is a feeling that spurs me to action.

Especially the ones we allow to be murdered simply for the sake of convenience, pretty barbaric for people that have "come so far".

So really you don’t know the outcome till it’s too late.

Like I said luxuries and conveniences

the assimilation leads astray. People lack self discipline and you want kids to be self disciplined with the supervision of tech.

Proactive vs reactive

we see things thru a different lens….

New Primary Polls Show Trump Leading DeSantis By Double-Digits In New Hampshire And South Carolina!  I will say again -- it would do more harm than good for DeSantis run in 2024.  It would be best for him to be a team player in 2024 and have the full backing of Trump and others in 2028.  

This is the hidden content, please

These polls really mean nothing this early....

But unless something drastic (and I mean DRASTIC), it will be almost impossible to keep Trump from being Republican nominee in 24.....

Why? He has a HUGE base that will vote for him. 

The more in the race, Desantis, Haley, etc just dilutes the votes to Trumps advantage. 

WE have to face it, he received more votes than any other President (except Biden).......if Biden runs, Trump wins. I don't see a repeat with all the obvious mental issues we see with Biden. It would be cruel if people close to him let him run.......and Trump would beat Kamala .......so Dems are in a pickle.....IMO

Trump will not beat Biden in 2024 - The people have showed that in the last presidential election and again in the mid-terms. 

Time for Republican's to get another leader and QUICK

I really don't see Desantis running until 2028, it wouldn't be smart to go against Trump - Trump is already throwing daggers at him and he hasn't even announced.

That's about the only part with which I disagreed.  Most people didn't vote for Biden, they voted against Trump.  I just don't think those same people will have had a change of heart.  I put it like this.... every day they're burying a handful of Trump voters while a TON of liberal thinkers reach the voting age.  At this point I think that Trump gets the nomination and loses to any democrat.... Biden, or otherwise.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
