Abraham Lincoln is portrayed making arguments that sound like modern Proud Boys begging a judge for forgiveness

Point still stands... Prior generations went out and got high/laid

GenZ needs alpha daddy thought leader to explain to them how to convince a woman to touch u... It don't seem to be working

Gen Z and A have helicopter parents who won't let them go out and most places won't allow teenagers to hang out in groups. Even movie theaters ban teenagers without parents.

Getting high or laid isn't what these generations are about.

Most of the US has laws that make it illegal for kids under the age of like 14 to be without direct adult supervision. This whole society is a police state.

Which is fucking sad, I remember when I was 16 years old and I used to drive my friends to the movie theater every weekend to watch movies. We would stand in line in the rain for like 40 minutes to buy tickets and then to get inside. Those are the days man...

They don't care, there is no peer pressure to have sex and with teenagers having no place to gather they don't hook up. Most stay home alone.

If you think people were having sex due to peer pressure a generation back, that's some weird way of thinking about how people work

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
