[QUOTE="Watergirl, post: 54538362, member: 150912"] The past wasn't perfect, but there were certainly a lot of things about it that were better than today. You weren't subjected to profanity everywhere and everything wasn't about sex. People understood that some behavior was acceptable, while some was not. People actually dressed up to go out and, I know this is a really foreign concept here in this little slice of Laodicea, but people even showed their reverence for God by dressing for church as if they were going to the house of God. Our children had real role models. They weren't perfect, but they didn't flaunt their sins and their sins weren't celebrated. Motherhood actually had value and wasn't mocked. Comedians were funny and singers became successful because they were talented and not just because they looked good in a pair of tight jeans. Men really were men and weren't whiney, girly little boys. Women were ladies and dressed like it and acted like it. The government didn't try to regulate every detail of our lives and we weren't mocked and called names if we questioned the government or believed that government had an obligation to spend our tax money responsibly. We had presidents we could be proud of. Children actually said things like "Yes sir" and "Yes ma'am" instead of "*** you old man!" and they called adults by their first names. A man who cheated on his wife countless times would never have been hailed as a hero, while a man who stepped down from a lucrative career to take care of his dying wife would have been. But these days, Tiger Woods is the hero and Phil Mickleson, who is truly a hero, is completely ignored. [/QUOTE]
