Default In your lifetime, have you in some small,

insignificant way contributed to the demise of a civilized society such as we are experiencing now.

I think perhaps I did, albeit in a small way. But, those small ways are like a drip of water in a damn. Once it starts, it can be disastrous.

I haven't killed anyone with my evil guns outside of a war zone so, no, can't say I've contributed. I also didn't vote for a democrat so that's a +2 for DJ.

Huh? How about an example? Knocked up some dirtyleg? Maybe divorced the mother of my children? Deadbeat dad on the child support? Sped in a construction zone? Got shitfaced and drove? Rode my bike shitfaced without a helmet?

EVERYONE has contributed. You flip off someone who cuts you off in traffic, you've contributed.

No, I was not supposed to get in a fight with a nun that resulted in a broken bone (hers).

Nothing sets Thomas off. I don't think he drinks heavily enough.

Nope. Your lies.

Here's my take on this. If you've been rude to someone, flipped someone off in traffic, bitched at a waitress, called someone a "Fucktard" on a forum, you've contributed to the demise in civilized society. While it may be a small contribution, it's still a contribution.

So DJ, when you say you haven't, there's plenty of evidence you have scattered all over this forum. I have too. I'm far from innocent.

I almost got kicked out for asking a nun what her qualifications were to teach a course ....on sex education and matrimony. I ended up with a quick trip to the Dean's office and a suspension

They threatened to excommunicate me. I think I was 10 years old.

I think what saved me was my Dad's role in the diocese. He was in the first class of Deacons ordained. As my brother used to say..."Dad knows how to kiss rings and pull strings".

Some things I think of is that perhaps I accepted something that I did not consider all that bad but perhaps it was. Maybe it was something little in the perspective but it all accumulates.

I don't think we are in the demise of our civilized society.

It seems somebody needs to learn what sarcasm is especially on a forum FULL of it.

Cheebus, have another drink, would ya.
