Thank you! People better wake up to this soon.

@@jenniferm3572 Wake up to what soon!? So alarmist it's gotten pathetic. I heard the same line of baloney when Obama took office on 2008. He took office with just shy of 300 million guns in private hands. Every gun fanatic screaming about "they're coming for the guns now FOR SURE!" 8 years later, Obama is gone and we have over 400 million guns in private hands by 2016. As my dad, and his dad, always said: Nobodies coming to take your guns. Their ambitious, pie in the sky bureaucrats, but most of them aren't suicidal. Been hearing that since they stopped letting people buy machine guns. Maybe if so many of those so fervent about their guns also weren't constantly talking about "taking back out country" (news flash, it's not just the fanatics country) and saying stuff like "we are WAY past elections at this point", you wouldn't make people nervous enough to want to restrict your rights to start with. Responsible gun ownership INCLUDES calling out fanatical, irresponsible language, provocation, and not parading around scaring the beejezuz out of your fellow citizens and neighbors, so you can prove you're a real 'Murican, and own some guns. So do millions of other people who don't feel the need to parade around in public with them.

@@jenniferm3572or what?

Incorrect. It is both.

That's how it works these days, nothing can be done unless the individual thinks they need help. Part of mental health issues seem to be that the individual thinks they are right and everyone else has the issues. I've been involved in trying to get help for a couple of people in my wife's extended family and it's a fruitless task so can sympathize with you angst with your brother. It's disgusting that we spend all this money on illegal immigrants while are cities are full of homeless people with mental health and drug issues that are mostly the reason they are homeless. let's have some charity at home.

Mentally sick people never think they are sick, they think everyone else is sick. The mental health people have a very low success rate. They are good at diagnosing, and tell you how the patient got there, but they don't cure squat. One of these days MAYBE, but it will be a long time. The only people that MIGHT get "cured" are the ones that see the light and TRY and work with the mental health people. If the patient does NOT do that, it is HOPELESS.

My sister has schizo affective disorder and I can tell you that the only way she’s able to find any balance is with constant love and support. She’s rebuilt her life and burned it down so many times that at 46 she can no longer live on her own and needs reminders every morning to take her medication. Takes a village, yet too many people don’t have the needed safety nets in place.

Well wouldn't you would hate it if somebody could just point at you and say you are mentally ill and *poof*, there go your rights

​@@maxpower001Same for me. Too much narcissism and gossip.

You have to really strive to not get sucked in to the drama. I use social media to keep in touch with friends and family. You have to avoid the drama and do your best not to get drawn into it

If anything aggravates you, avoid it. People just need to take inventory of their lives every once in a while and ask whether the things that are in their lives are actually improving it in some way, and if the answer is no and it’s not necessary or some responsibility, then cut it out. Piling up awful things is what eventually breaks your mental health. It’s very rarely ever one thing. It’s the weight of too many things you should have gotten rid of years ago.

I wish many more people were like you.

I'm 34 and have never had social media, no tattoos no bs. I'm a unicorn I suppose 😁

You are so damn right! My respect for doing it this way.

Just let me guess, you are white, male, hetero, and from the majority society. Congrats, no discriminations for you.

I'm a Republican and a Conservative. It's easy to see exactly when it "started to multiply", and it's started when Trump became President. Through his divisive rhetoric, he's given people permission to be openly racist and violent. I live in Michigan and I've never seen anyone publicly advertise their white nationalistic ideology until about 2 years after he took office. Now, in upper Michigan, I see trucks flying the confederate flag with giant signs like "White Privilege", something I've never seen in my 56 years on this planet. Here's an anecdote for you from around just the same time period. I have a friend who is Chinese and has lived in northern Michigan all his life. He is physician. After Trump took office, he and his family were harassed and had their lives threatened on several occasions - enough so that my friend had to move. Our Governor was also the target of a kidnapping during the same period. There's no question when things changed and now it's about to get considerably worse with the re-election of a wanna-be dictator. My dad and I are both Marines; my dad fought in the Korean War and I in Iraq. We're saddened to see a country, we put our lives on the line for, being transformed into puppet regime for Putin. Trump skipped out on military service and now he's going to be the Commander and Chief. It so sickens me to my core.

Same with my dad. I'm glad he didn't live to see this.

What he fought, fought, turned into today

My Dad as well, although he was in the European Theatre... North Africa, Malta, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany. I heard the phrase from him when I was quite young that when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. I'm sure he is turning over in his grave right now.

As 2/3 of gun deaths are suicide, mental health gives us too many people with a gun in their lap

Unwed mothers raise children who behave badly. This is a fact. Society has a problem facing FACTS. There are many that are completely ignored because of misguided political considerations. When we address these issues, we can BEGIN to correct them. Until we do, it is all talk and BS Edit: I know there are some kids raised by single mothers, who grow up just fine, they are the exception, not the overwhelming majority. We need to deal with what is common, not what is exceptional.

@@nickstamp3324 Tell me why countries with strict gun laws simply don’t have the murder by gun anywhere near the numbers we do in America. Totally agree bad parenting is a problem , but link that up to gun violence. Just might be more to that than you suggest.

@@ed-gw3ov It's not the strict gun laws in other countries, it's the mental health facilities that they have an use. We used to have them too, until clinton defunded all of the mental hospitals and shut almost all of them down.

@@ed-gw3ov I avoid politics but i will weigh in on this. Its mostly due to poor mental healthcare in the US, and lack of education about them. About half of gun deaths are self inflicted and a large percentage are accidents, which are both counted in the gun violence statistics. While I agree there needs to be changes, there are changes that need to be made in many areas before we'll ever see a change by simply targeting guns. Most countries that have increased firearms laws *also* have better mental healthcare quality and availability. Switzerland for example, has very high gun ownership rates but far less gun violence because of mandatory education, training, and world class mental health services.

I put it this way... All of this started when they took the single serving knuckle sandwich off the menu on the playground in the western world. In the past if you said or did something truly bad, and kids were great natural judges of this, you earned a single serving of the knuckle sandwich. Almost every time it was served it was deserved. The person receiving it got instant clear feedback and accepted the correction, while not suffering undue harm. If delivered undeserved the playground took care of that with either a single serving back and/or social outcasting for an appropriate amount of time for the original knuckle man. The main benefit of the playground was everyone learned from each incident not just the parties directly involved. The learning happened at a key time in a persons development. As you aged from primary to high school the level of power behind a knuckle sandwich went from a sting to potentially damaging. That natural progression caused a decrease in needed use as everyone learned on the exponential curve, sinking in the idea of FAFO. We all also learned that speech cannot be offensive, being offended is an emotional response not something someone can really do to you. Sticks and Stones sunk in as well. Ultimately this created better behaved and better adjusted adults. Removing this tool has created a generation of entitled snowflakes while also awakening the older generations Karens.

​@@joe-mamma what was the first murder though? What was used?

@@Marcus_Shaw The animals Yahweh killed to cover adam and eve with skin after they sinned. As far as abel... scripture doesn't specify what cain used. Maybe bare hands, maybe a choke hold, maybe a push off a cliff, maybe poison. Maybe a sharp rock as a knife or a heavy rock as a bludgeon.

So are you against the concept of a driver's license or pro-gun control?

"The machine is as good as the operator." Firearms are a tool, and it's a tool that makes destroying something or someone much easier to achieve. A vehicle is a mode of transportation, not designed to destroy something or someone, so that's a false equivalence argument.

There was a rather recent article of new material talking about how Autism may occur, or occur depending on what early scientific studies you may believe. Humans are certainly devolving in many ways.

I could say something as simple as I ate a burger and these weird online people would come up with 10+ different reasons why I was "wrong" for what I did...from, the place I got it from, my condiments, not making it at home, if I did make it at home using premade patties and not getting my hands all gross rolling up hamburger meat, making it in my foreman grille fast instead of some fancy grille/stove-top, using beef instead of chicken, not using expensive grass fed organic meat, using meat at all instead of veggies, if I made everything completely from scratch, oh-and not using cast iron lol...and that stuff is just off the top of my head.

Parents didn't raise the younger generations right, a culture shift completely away from the family unit, and rife mental health problems everywhere have put us in a bad spot.

These qualities will remain consistent through generations. Whether it was asking students to put away newspapers in the past or phones today, I firmly believe that the true objective of an educator is to guide them towards learning and understanding, as it is also a teacher’s job to adapt to these challenges. From the bottom of my heart, I extend my deepest appreciation for your dedication and service as an educator, as your impact is immeasurable, and I am genuinely grateful for the wisdom and guidance you’ve surely provided in your time.

You may be surprised how much people respond. If you don’t try no one you included will never know how things may work out. If it doesn’t go the way you want. Then it most likely isn’t you. You are trying. Good luck. Remember baby steps.

@@canislatrans8285🎯​​⁠💯Everyone wants, but few give. Everyone talks, but few listen. We need to listen to ourselves, how many times do we say I, my, and me. Ask the question to yourself what does this conversation mean, does it edify help encourage or is this just about me?

It seems like we've had a complete breakdown of our Social Contract. It's like we failed to do something on our part.

@@user-zu5do6ri6r Can’t argue that point.

No lies detected!

IF men that are sperm donors would just step up and be fathers, and if mothers are incubators would be mothers the world would be better off today !!!

It's nice to read a true success story!!!!

Yeah well it got like this on your watch. Thanks.

You ain't seen NOTHING yet.. 😂😂😂

@@yamo511 weve come to expect this from your generation, blaming everyone but yourselves. If you were paying attention, its your generation that is the problem, the entitled angry and lazy excuse makers. You need the older generation more than you think because you cannot even wipe your own a$$ without your mommy. You can continue to be part of the problem or the solution, but we will be gone soon enuf and you will be left with a world that you created, not us. That is going to really suck for you.

im 48, i blame the media and the people who control it. The school system doesnt teach the kids anything of substance.Also not enough positive role models.A bad economy is making everybody stress over not having enough. Our food is full of chemicals changing our bodies bioligy.

@@yamo511 WRONG! It's been a jungle, long before any of us were born!

I agree, but it seems like you could have reworded it or condensed your statement.

Yes I'll admit I was shocked myself because I was like man its that bad huh

" There was one significant factor in the grotesque spectacle of the Democratic National Convention : McGovern's candidacy is a declaration of war on the American people by America's intellectuals . " -Ayn Rand-

I am 58 and I will agree, I love our country USA and I love life, and I love Jesus, and I love family , Mom and Dad

@@jimmyruger7529 This is my main post under this video. I thought you might agree. IT IS THE WORD OF GOD COMING TRUE. Genesis 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Get used to it pal. It’s getting worst and you only have yourself (and everyone else) to blame. Good job.

People us rightwingers have been trying to warn for years are finally noseticing!

I’m 25 and I agree. Doesn’t seem like anyone wants to fix the problems, just push the. Aside and create new problems that didn’t previously exist, and then point the blame to something or someone else

I'm an 80 y/o grand pa who is also disappointed. I ain't gonna be here much longer but when I try to explain to my grand kids the way things were and ought to be again, I'm a Boomer who's too old to know today's reality, according to them. Y'all talk about the greatest generation; I was born in '44, that's how long ago 80 yrs is. You mention Vietnam to them and it's ....that was probably a long time ago too. I say it's only 50 years....zoom, right over their heads. Meh Like I said we're on short time. Good luck.

We fought for this country, 300,000 troops being set up, our kids let the Dems do it

He worked hard to make this country what it is. He should be excited, this is what he supported. We all support it.

🙄 I think he knew what he was doing all along

The problem there is that turning it into affordable housing would have turned that area into a crime filled shithole and ruined all the surrounding businesses, bled the city of tax revenue, and started a total collapse. Turning it into luxury apartments gentrifies the area, massively lowers crime and raises tax revenues, and benefits the city overall.

Its very profitable as long as its not solved. Over 20 billion in Cali alone spent on homelessness and all it did was increase the issue.

Did they actually spend it on homeless programs? Or did they funnel the money into 'Agencies' and 'NFP's' that paid themselves and associated companies to funnel the money into their own pockets rather than towards actual programs to help the Homeless? So much of our Welfare ends up in Corporations pockets instead of trying to solve the issues the money is supposed to be spent on. It's not just those fat Military Contracts that are pilfered and end up in offshore accounts. It's happening across the board. We the Sheeple indeed. While we scream at the TV when we see some poor guy pushing a shopping trolley with all of his worldly possessions - there are a bunch of people living it up in expensive housing 'compounds' and on their second yacht they bought with the money you thought was going to 'help' the guy pushing that trolley.

"affordable housing" = ghetto.

Yeah that ship set sail. Many of us have lost too much, all based on lies. It's unreasonable for you to ask us not to hate.

Don’t be worried if you’ve raised yours right, theirs will be fine. Legacy runs in the bones.

Bullying is a big problem, whether from home or from schools. Problem is schools do not do enough to curb bullying. With the technology today a person doesn't get to escape those people when they leave school. Then we have kids that are being told to not cry about something, it isn't worth crying over. The kids learn to hide their feelings. Then when they are having mental health problems, they don't want to talk about it or maybe they feel like they can't. Then you combine the two situations with bullying at school and not being able to talk about it at home.

Maybe we need to require licences before reproduction?

Thats why they want to dismantle the nuclear family so much. they indoctrinate these lifestyles that are "free" and they DO NOT promote good non-toxic family values.

Lots of it has to do with single-parent households. You want to fix things you need people to get married and stay married.

@@Furlugeexactly. They’ve made it, by design, too easy for a couple to divorce and then have the government step in with assistance and strings for the parent with the kids (almost always the female) while the father is forced to live in poverty or worse because of insane child support amounts and yanking drivers licenses if behind on support payments (umm how’s he supposed to make the money to pay the support). And all manner of other government intrusions and infringements upon liberty and freedom that serve nothing more than to give the government control over people. Government is supposed to be responsive to the needs of the people NOT make them needy.

Close your wallet and open the Bible, your heart and mind and see what He does for souls surrendered to Him. Godly man= Godly family, community, country, etc. There IS no other answer.

@@marcd.jr.9707 stfu, religion has no place here, founding fathers even said so.

I've never heard that before, but there is a LOT to unpack in that quote. I don't know where you heard that, but thank you for sharing it.

@@andrewstombaugh9318 It's an old one. I'm surprised it got by the censor. It's a pretty descent explainer of cyclical behavior, but offers no solutions, assuming there are any.

Speed of the leader, speed of the group has been around since the 80s. We have known it since 500BC. Just ask the Greeks...

Truth, and I think the cause is lack of gratitude in good times. When things are going well, that's the time to work hard and stay hard...with gratitude and respect to those who sacrificed for the good times we enjoy.

and the mark cysts destroy nations one by one while the clueless sheep try to figure out what is happening to their country.

It’s because we’re tired dumb @$$

Not all house holds can afford to have someone stay home.

Divorces .. I became a single Dad , I was a natural.

The problem is social media has warped peoples expectations of life and how to act. It's not insanity or mental health, it's brainwashing (social media) that's the problem

Homelessness is now up by thirteen percent, while eight hundred billionaires now control more of the nation's wealth than the poorest fifty percent of the population. This is a more extreme disparity than ever before in history in any country.

This right here, pretty much in a nutshell.

That's because both dems and conservatives want people at each other's throats until the end of time so that large corporations can keep profiting.

People would call that communism nowadays

These "proxy wars", like you say, are keeping you from clashing directly with China, Iran, Russia or North Korea. The US spends $282 billion every year on mental health, a lot more than it spends on "proxy wars". But whatever...

Well, these "foreign proxy wars" keep you from clashing directly with your sworn enemies - China, Iran, Russia and the North Korea. The US spends $282 billion on mental health every year, a lot more than on its allies. But you are free to drop the allies, and engage your enemies yourself.

I'm a contractor. My society just forced me to pay to increase my competitors in every single state across the country. I work longer hours, for less money. While having an increased number of people increases the cost of living. All while I get chewed out for not being happy. I feel like society wants me to become sadistic.
