#1 I am seeing the same thing. Perhaps I am older and can compare and contrast but change has occurred. The young and old and with most races but less so with Asians. Small towns to large cities you see the same changes. Drug use, prescribed, over the counter and illegal items. They will use anything for the high. 1/3 want help, 1/3 want high whatever the cost, 1/3 are borderline. Law enforcement see cocaine, meth, heroin party and advise next time they get complaint with photo information they have as prof with young children present they will be arrested. That's if you have police available.

#2 It used to be that adulthood was something to strive for as the benefits were obvious.

Now, it's something to avoid as the costs are obvious.

It seems that many who just made it to adulthood have regressed, screaming, to childhood.

#3 When you celebrate diversity and apotheosize it to a god, that is what you are going to get. Reinforcement of ~~deviant behavior~~ diversity of behavior in all forms will get you a bunch of weirdos straying from the norms.

#4 Intelligence is finite. There are just more people now.

[What do you expect from a social rewards system in which everyone gets a trophy for showing up? Darwinism may be cruel but it permits the species/group to survive.]

#5 It's not that normal people are any less common, it's that media has noticed freak shows bring in the dollars.

#6 And Generating and Promoting Freak shows bring in even more $$$s. See Catlyn Jenner (who reportedly still has all *his* F-ing tackle).

Generating Fear Uncertainly and Doubt (FUD) also generates $$$s. See Ferguson, BLM, etc...

#7 Springer has made a fortune on it.

#8 Once in a while I used to watch Springer and think 'could these people possibly be real?'.

Then I watch the news and what passes for Network Entertainment these day and realize that reality is much worse.

We are so Screwed...

#9 Springer was a Democrat politician who paid a hooker with a personal check. He was right at home with the guests on his show.

#10 At least Springer used a personal check, not a government credit card.

#11 the United States is struggling to cope with the proliferation of dangerous perverts, drug addicts, psychotics and Ivy League liberal arts majors

Considering Professor Reynolds' proposal for drug use and prostitution (in addition to gambling) on Indian reservations, this is rather ironic.

#12 I dunno, Pappy. Seems to me you can engage in drug use, prostitution and gambling without being a whiny little fascist twit.

And if they want to talk about "violently imposed gender", let's talk about the German language and it's brutal treatment of nouns.

#13 A bit more drug use, prostitution & gambling would probably straighten out most of the little fascist twits we're suffering with these days.
