CALDRON POOL –
I find conservatives very interesting. They complain about the degradation of society and are very verbose about it as well. Article after article comes out daily from every conservative site tolling the decline of morality in society. And then along comes a government with a plan that will actually combat this to some degree, and they all freak out.
I think this comes down to two things really, 1) a distrust for the government, which is fair enough, and 2) the natural conservative inclination for reacting against any change to the status quo that they did not think of first. There is almost this inherent conservative desire to react against any suggested change. Conservatives want to complain about bad things, but actually doing something?
No, that would require working with governments we don’t like (something Daniel, Joseph and Moses did) and making actual structural changes to society (something the Church of the past did a lot). MORE HERE
“I find conservatives very interesting.”
And I find libs stupid, annoying, and useless, what’s your point?
Generally, I have little patience for the other side trying to figure us out but this guy sounds especially clueless.
“Australian parents have begged the state to provide, teach and train their kids more and more over the years”
And that’s why your country is a shit-show. If you can’t raise your kids properly, providing a proper moral code of conduct and preparing them to navigate the world effectively, don’t have them. Relinquishing these duties to the state breeds dependent sheltered people with no autonomy in their affairs.
And another pet peeve of mine, secular people invoking the Bible to emphasize a point, when ninety-nine times out of a hundred, they get the context wrong or don’t believe what they are quoting.
I suggest that the absence of addition comments is clear proof that @Rich Taylor wrote the perfect comment first. It’s so good I hesitated to write this acknowledgment and praise lest I dilute it in any way. 1,000,000 thumbs, @Rich!
