I agree with all of you ...Hallo Randy - Jay - Sammy<br />I agree with all of you 100%.<br />I question though - how did it come to this development. In 70/80 he years, people were everywhere most cosmopolitan and tolerant. The "intellectuals" pretended the topics.<br />What happened then?<br />Was it the Vietnam disaster for the U.S.?<br />Was it the left terror in Germany (RAF - Red Army Faction)?<br />The Conservatives got the upper hand - and the intellectuals let it happen.<br />Gruß Nikki<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-59158308900438309152013-07-26T00:10:32.290-07:002013-07-26T00:10:32.290-07:00Hello Randy
The phenomenon, as you and Jay have sa...Hello Randy<br />The phenomenon, as you and Jay have said, is largely the responsibility of the media, particularly the 'tabloid' end of the market, as far as I'm concerned. If parents read, day after day, that slavering 'paedos' are hiding around every corner, intent on raping and murdering their poor, innocent offspring, they will lock up their sons and daughters, figuratively, at least. And once that mindset is established, it's very difficult to break, because the incarcerated children grow to become parents themselves, hear more stories, and confine their own children even more closely. And so the vicious circle goes on, until we reach a point, already prevalent in this country, where adults say that they would cross the road to avoid coming into contact with an injured or distressed child other than their own, for fear of being branded a 'molester'. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.<br /><br />Love & best wishes<br />Sammy BSammy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257879009293024225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-88233739416647170182013-07-25T18:40:08.249-07:002013-07-25T18:40:08.249-07:00All I can say is you are 100% right. Crime is WAY ...All I can say is you are 100% right. Crime is WAY down from the 70's and 80's, but with a 24/7 news cycle that is international in scope (not to mention instant and unrelenting), the "if it bleeds, it leads" credo is in effect for sure. And once EVERY news outlet picks up on something that in our youth would have been a 2 minute soundbite on the 11:00 news, now it seems larger, more important, closer, READY TO LEAP OUT AND AFFECT YOU, TOO!!!! Harness those children to the front porch (or better yet, lock them in their rooms), NEVER let them out of your sight, so put cameras in said rooms. Drives me crazy, and as much as it pains me to say it, is why so many kids need the boy scouts and girl scouts and Indian Guides, and all those other structured "adventure" programs.<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
