I have been using Zip.ca for a few months now and like it a lot. It is a little frustrating not getting things in the order I want/add them, sometimes not even close, but thinking a little about how the whole thing works it is understandable.
I think I can agree with everything you say here, in fact it is pretty much how I grew up in the 70's and early 80's, including the fights. I had a few fights and hung around with some "bad elements" but I don't think there was ever a mention of a gun, and the only knives were only for show.
I don't think I can agree that a 2 parent family is necessary to produce a decent human being (although that is how I grew up). It definitly seems to be a case of kids growing up with less and less values in general, but I see at least as many assholes growing up with 2 parents as I do with 1:-)
I was of course mostly referring to the McCarthy craziness, but now that you bring it up my understanding is that the great family value vision of the 50's has mostly been exposed as a fabrication of advertising and propaganga. Your statement about the value of life is well taken though, it does seem that it gets lower and lower everyday and in every way.
Ah, I see the United States of America really is heading back to the 50's. Or is it going to be even worse?
Please, please somebody tell me that this was a joke and there are not really people who think like this.

How did this get a flamebait moderation?

D'Oh!
I know, I know I shouldn't reaspond, but I can't help it.
Shall I assume that you believe in "land of the free"? [1]
[1] Wherein "free" is defined as "white, heterosexual, and christian"

I wonder how many of those people were killed before Saddam became a bad guy to the U.S. Government?
It didn't take too much brain power to figure out how to get to it from that link.

You'll probably see a lot of suggestions for this, but maybe I'll be first ;-)
