I do believe Americans are generally decent people they have just had it so good for so long it’s corrupted peoples values and morality.


What’s that saying I heard the other day from the show mic drop???


Hard times create strong men.

Strong men create good times.

Good times create weak men.

Weak men create hard times.


Well we are being led by weak people across the planet and hard times are coming!
 
When I was listening to Prager's comments above, Serafin, I couldn't help but think of Paul's words in 2 Corinthians...
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. - 2 Cor. 12:7, KJV
...as I've long said, as long as there is evil in the human heart, we will never be rid of the evils in this world and one of those evils is vainglorious pride.

Part of that is knowing our worst capacities, our worst addictions and thoughts and staying the hell away from them.
