Grandparents raising grandkids. Mixed race families. Tons of immigrants. Out of control kids. Phone zombies. No manners. Everyone dressed like refugees. Dressed inappropriately.

All the booths were for free services or family support. The art in the art show was disturbing.

The whole scene was very stark, very bleak.

I guess this is it now. This is what we are. Not sure there is a strong, stable future in it.

Mixed race families have existed since the beginning of time. I'm white but wtf does that mean? Italian, German, Swedish, Anglo-Saxon...it's all homogenous bullshit. What matters is if we hold on to our values as a country, no matter the ethnicity

Re: Went to a festival yesterday...everywhich way I turned I saw a bleak future...
hum...looks more like a "bleak today" then a "bleak future". I know, I live and see the same thing all over where I live. The consequences of all the "social engineering" over the last 50 years. Broken marriages, state taking kids where Grandparents have to step in, no sense of self respect, blatant drug and alcohol abuse, not even trying to hide anymore. No jobs, shitty education.
Eventually it will all hit "bottom". And then radical pendulum swing, which I understand is coming up with Generation Z.
So maybe, the "future" won't be so bad, after some real interesting reversals.

I was out on the road for 3 weeks, working in the back woods and back streets of the South.

Do you know what I found? It would take a family of 8 or 9 to make an entire set of teeth for one person. They all have toothpick teeth as they must be using meth or crack or something. They are all skinny, filthy, live like rats and are scary freaks.

Turn the lights off already. Lets get this thing going.

You have small pocket of clean living people who work and do their Civil Duties for their family, community and Nation, but they are few in number.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69374984


I think that's what the OP is getting at, here. It's not about mixing races, it's about a loss of values. Nothing is valued anymore, and nothing is sacred. Ignorance abounds and our culture is decadent. We are like undisciplined children, lost in a forest, not knowing where we came from or where we are headed. And in our fear of the encroaching darkness, we are about to burn that forest down, though it protects us from the storm. Western society and culture is now on it's deathbed.

I noticed the same thing. The disturbing part is I am beginning to believe we would be better off under a different system as this one is completely out of control.

People on social security disability who can drive, talk on their cell phone and buy cokes, crablegs and steaks from Wal-Mart when I eat a lot of chicken. They have free housing from HUD, food stamps, help with their utilities and reduced fee internet. And we keep inviting more to come into the country.

The situation is not going to get better, it is going to get worse until one working person is going to be supporting five non-working people. Anyone with an IQ over 100 has to see what is going on.

Not to mention we elect people who lie and cheat the system and do not live up to their campaign promises. Also, they have to have millions just to be elected which is wrong and self-serving.

When you start a country out with an average IQ of 120 or so and then over about 250 years give or take reduce that IQ average to about 95, you are bound to become a nation of freeloaders -- with a minority of people running the show and not doing a very good job of that.

I wish I had answers. I don't. Because the majority of freeloaders are not even smart enough to think. Then we medicate the rest with pot and opiates -- and what do you get -- you get a nation that speaks a language which may be foreign to us now - but get ready. Just my thoughts.
