AS far as morality I dont think its evolving I see the morality of the world in a downward spiral, the gay and lesbian mafia pushing proaganda, abortion, people coming out with anti-Christian garbage like the da-vinci code. Girls getting pregnant at the age of 12. If you ask me back in the 20s,30s,40s, people had better morality and healthier family and holy values. I.E. Before 1970s if you were gay you were considered to be mentally insane ..."

Ah, for the good old days of the 20s, 30s, and 40s -- when if you weren't white you were dirt, and if you were a woman your place was to shut up and be a "good wife." Family values have spiraled so low since then.
"the gay and lesbian mafia pushing proaganda?"
What? Is there the Godfaggot somewhere in Sicily? I helped a lesbian push a car once, but she didn't seem to have any propaganda to push.
"Girls getting pregnant at the age of 12"
No young girls got pregnant before a few decades ago?
"If you ask me back in the 20s,30s,40s, people had better morality and healthier family and holy values."
Well, that's why nobody asked you.
"mentally insane?"
As opposed to what? Physically insane?
If you ask me back in the 20s,30s,40s, people had better morality and healthier family and holy values.
Apart from the Nazi's, world economy being at an all time low, the (beginning of the) holocaust and the end of the first world war and the start of a second.
Actually, as a personal friend of the Fairy Godfather, I can assure you that he pushes no anti-Christian views whatsoever. He likes Christians just fine -- so much, in fact, that he's always happy to give them a big hug and let them kiss his ... uh, ring! Of course, being the Fairy Godfather, he could just wave his magic wand to make them an offer they couldn't refuse -- but that's really not his style.

<<I.E. Before 1970s if you were gay you were considered to be mentally insane ...>>
This is morality?
Also, segregation, Japanese internment camps, open hatred of the Jews and the Irish, McCarthyism - these are the values of a moral society?
Ah...
The old 'thing's used to be better than they are now' syndrome.
Better back when infant mortatlity rates were 50%, same for mothers giving birth, better when 1000's were killed by polio and small pox every year, better when racial lynchings were common throughout the south, better when spousal abuse was considered a duty, better when women couldn't vote and blacks couldn't write...
Those were the days,sigh....
Cousin Ted, I can't claim total credit for that one; there REALLY IS a Fairy Godfather! There is this guy out at the Scarborough Faire Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie, Texas, potbellied, in his 60s or so, who normally plays a regular Renaissance character; but on the final day of the faire, he comes out dressed in garish pink and orange tights, a pink tutu, and fairy wings, waving a wand and "smoking" a huge plastic cigar, talking with a Chicago Italian accent and billing himself as the Fairy Godfather. He's a riot and a half!

Lucky for you that you weren't born in the real good old days, like the twelfth or thirteenth centuries. They would have toasted your ass as a heretic, and saved everyone the bother of listening to your horsehit!
Girls getting pregnant at 12 was perfectly acceptable when Christianity ruled Europe. Oh, wait, that's right, you don't have to acknowledge your religion's history, do you?
<<<The good old days werent good, they were worse then now.>>>
Actually, I loved the good old days! Back before vaccines, when business was booming....
Well, yes, let´s asume that there was no racism, no sexism, no murder...........well, and concerning homosexuality, if you are insane, you can´t be a sinner. So, morality doesn´t apply there. And women getting pregnant at twelve?, in the Middle Ages and in the Bible, it was usual.

(Or maybe median. I'm not sure which, but I do know it's stayed 16.)
Or Modal ??? ie, the most frequent ( please tell me I got that right !) I think Median is in the middle of the range, and Mean is what we normally think of as average.

It's obvious you didn't live in farm country, where very early marriage and pregnancy (in either order) were much the norm, especially for those people who saw no future for themselves other than being just like mom and dad on the farm. I'm assuming you didn't live in the 20s or 30s either. I lived through the forties and fifties and sixties, and knew about gays, but didn't know any personally as far as I know. But I knew about incest (and the baby it produced) and I knew about a feud in our classroom when one girl married the father of the other girl. I knew about unmarried mothers, and the grandmother then being charged with the murder of that infant.
That was all in the fifties...BUT...that was all in farm community. I really think that makes a difference. Urban civilization has kids talking knowledgeably about sex at an early age, but I think it's good that they often substitute frank conversation from learn-it-as-you-go-along.
I dont think its evolving I see the morality of the world in a downward spiral,
Are we not men? We are Devo.
Confused?
