Quite true, I grant that the ancient Romans probably had less people attacking others on gas pumps then we do.
Road rage was probably lesser problem before cars were invented.
However can you provide any source that people are now more violent than before ?
You don’t really think that people didn’t face violence in ancient times ? Robberies, murders, animal attacks whatever.
Life expectancy was rather short. It has increased a lot...another fact that argues against things going to hell.
Logan Paul controversy: YouTube under fire for letting shocking video stay up
“My Brother Changed His Name to ‘Sexy Vegan,’ Wears Speedos in Public and is Spending My Mom’s $11 Million Inheritance!” | Dr. Phil
We asked 7 Republican senators about Trump’s nuclear button tweet. They seemed unfazed.
I bet this is what Paul was describing in 2 Timothy 3 as it all boiled down to pride and a lack of empathy. While narcissism was a major issue in Roman culture back in the day, these days we have social media enabling us to become like this for the sake of ad money, 15 minutes of fame, and internet stats (Likes, Subscribers, etc).
They even have self love coaches on youtube.
I feel you brother.I stopped placing pictures of myself on line many years ago. I don't use a cell phone . I know it is a new day and all that. The technology we have today imho makes us lazy. Who remembers phone numbers anymore? Check out this guy.Not only that but there are businesses that can plan weddings where you marry yourself, hire a fake paparazzi to make you feel like a celebrity for a day, and all the plastic surgery stories you hear about on tabloid websites...
Narcissism has become a rather profitable industry. I don't know about you but if I married myself, I'd get a divorce pretty quickly and I hate the idea of people taking pictures of me in public. Plus I don't feel like spending my life savings to look like someone else no matter how dissatisfied I am with myself.
In 1912, imagine buying a super-expensive ticket on the unsinkable Titanic only to find out halfway across the Atlantic Ocean that not only is the Titanic sinking, but you are going to die drowning in the frigid waters.
It’s 2018 and that’s exactly how Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Foreign Minister Lavrov are feeling at this exact moment about their buy into Iranian debt and Iranian “hegemony.” Iran’s genocidal Islamo-Fascist Regime is slowing or at the least, going up in flames. The problem for Putin is that Putin has put all his Middle East eggs in the Shiite Ayatollah’s basket, and that basket has just crashed to the ground.
Let’s talk cash. Putin has sold Iran and Syria weapons on credit, essentially based on the assumption of Iran’s solvency. Putin doesn’t have any money to begin with, so Putin has to borrow money and put the sovereign Russian accounts in debt to pay for the weapons he sells to Iran and Syria in return for Iranian and Syrian debt. Not a wise move.
As an example, soon after the Iran/Obama Nuke deal was signed, sealed and delivered by the US Congress in September 2015, RIA Novosti reported that the Russian sovereign government itself loaned Iran $5 billion, and the Russian infrastructure bank VEB loaned Iran another $2 Billion for a total of $7-8 Billion dollars. Those numbers don’t even include the weapons and nuclear power plants Russia has “sold” to Syria and Iran on credit. How do you say, “Iran is totally bankrupt and its IOUs are worthless” in Russian?
Next, Putin’s Russian weapons have co-partnered in the Iranian genocide of a half-million Sunni Arabs in Syria. But, Putin has just realized that neither he nor Iran has the money to cement any form of an Assad Syrian post-war Pro-Russian regime. As an Apollo 13 astronaut would have said in the situation, “Moscow, we have a problem.” Iran blew through the 150 Billion dollars Obama gave them faster than a katyusha rocket.
Then, of course, Russia is now trying to shore up its Iranian tyrant friends by telling the United States “not to meddle.” See this: It’s ok for Russian jets to mass-murder Syrian opposition forces, but President Trump can’t tweet a little positive feedback to hundreds of thousands of Iranians who are sick and tired of their fanatical religious leaders who buy Russian death-machines instead of investing in Iran’s youth. In Putin’s Orwellian world, Russian mass-murder of Syrians is not “meddling,” but President Trump’s tweeting to Iranian citizens is “meddling.”
And it gets even better. Close to 20% of Russia is made up of vast territories comprised of Sunni Muslims. The current Iranian revolution is lighting the fire under all those Sunni Muslims and encouraging them to revolt against Putin - just as the Iranians are revolting against their brutal tyrannical ayatollahs. The Sunni Russians would love to execute their own #MeToo campaign against Putin.
If Ayatollah Khamenei’s Regime is overthrown, Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov will face an internal Islamic threat 50 times worse than that which NATO poses. Add to this mix the fact that Russia’s Sunnis are upset that Putin backed the Shiite Iran genocide against the Syrian Sunnis so as to further enslave Sunni Islam. Putin is sitting on a ticking internal Sunni Islamic nuclear bomb of his own making.
Putin may have thought he backed the Middle East “Strong Horse” in backing Iran. But, with Iran’s streets in flames, it’s looking like Putin backed a paper tiger that is about to go up in flames while turning his country into an economic cripple.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Russia in the first half of February to discuss US President Donald Trump’s changes to American policy on Jerusalem, a Palestinian diplomat said on Thursday.
Abbas, a graduate of a university in Russia, last visited Putin in Moscow in May.
“[Abbas] will discuss with him the situation in the Middle East including Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital,” the PLO Ambassador to Moscow Adbel Hafiz Nofal told Sputnik, a Russian-government owned website.
In a speech at the White House in early December, Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and initiated the relocation of the US Embassy in Tel Aviv to the holy city, breaking with decades of American policy.
Russia has publicly opposed Trump’s decisions on Jerusalem.
In the past couple of weeks, Russia voted in favor of United Nations Security Council and General Assembly resolutions criticizing Trump’s decisions on Jerusalem.
In a phone call, Fatah Central Committee member Azzam al-Ahmad said that Abbas will ask Putin “to undertake a greater and more meaningful role in the peace process in order to save it.”
Palestinian officials have said they would like to establish a multilateral framework for the peace process that includes Russia.
Israel has long opposed initiatives to grant countries other than the US a prominent role in the peace process.
According to Abbas, Trump’s decisions on Jerusalem have disqualified the US from sponsoring the peace process between the Palestinians and Israel.
Matthew 24:6Abbas to meet Putin in February to discuss Trump's Jerusalem moves
If this goes somewhere within February, then this piece of major biblical prophecy being fulfilled would be an awesome birthday gift.
