Different morality is still morality, no matter how much you dislike it.

Out of curiosity SaintNow, what time period would you prefer we be living in? I gather you're not a big fan of the modern day (all that modern medicine, technology, and communication just suck hey), so what time period do you think was the ideal one?

A most complex question/problem, and one to which I certainly do not have the answer in my back pocket. But to address the issue I would respond as follows. With the virtual demise of Christianity in most western nations morals have not, in the main, been replaced with a personal code of behavioral standards. When I had my own business an office girl,( single mother) had a baby and,due to various complications the infant had to be in the office for a few hours each morning. I asked my foreman why the father did not provide for the baby and offer his support. Being younger than me and therefore more au fait with what was happening in the teenage world he informed me that, as a consequence of promiscuousness, drugs and booze she probably didn't have the first idea who the father was. Apparently the free sex of the enlightened age is considered quite normal. Except it is not free and someone, the taxpayer, has to pick up the tab. I guess the dilemma which all governments face is finding a balance between minimizing the hardship which the baby will have to endure as a consequence of relative poverty, and fairness to the taxpayer. In the U.K, it costs significantly more money to run the ''The Child Support Agency'' ( a government dept, which chases up absent fathers and deducts dosh from their wages to support their offspring) than they gather in. In rural societies the community tends to be self regulating, but in urban districts where people live in a faceless crowd without any sense of community responsibility nor necessity to live up to the values and acceptable guidelines there is no stigma attached to being a single mother many times over. I suppose the aforementioned are just a series of observations and anecdotes without any solutions forthcoming.

Under the logic of many, there are simply differing views of what is considered moral. Many who drink and drive have determined through their moral standards that they can drive ok when drunk.

The difference between accepted differences in morality should be when a person's sense of morality hurts no one else but themselves.

Having one night hook and promiscuous sex have sentenced millions of children to lifetimes with no fathers. That is cruel and harmful. There are so many statistics showing the drastic harmful results for children abandoned by their fathers.

This is the perfect example of the no fault culture I speak to so often. Most everythng today is ok in this world. There is no fault in a person's choices in life, it's not their fault. They simply have differing views of what is moral and immoral, right?

Before anyone makes mindless statements that I want moral laws, SPARE ME.

I'm talking about shaming people who over and over choose to make irresponsible choices that hurt our children, hurt our society, that steals money from tax payers, etc.

I believe we should have commercials shaming dead beat fathers, shaming women who keep having sex with dead beat men who would never support their child should she get pregnant. Do you know how many women have multiple children on welfare with different fathers who walk away? We reward those women with bigger welfare checks.

Our society has no problem shaming certain behaviors such as racism, drunk driving, smoking, etc. They deem these things harmful but when it comes to the breakdown in our families and this sexual revolution that creates so many broken homes.... they are silent.

Why do you suppose that is? I believe the Left revels in our bloated welfare system because it is proven that most times, the people living off tax payers will vote for Democrats. Democrats love bigger Government control of the people. This for example is why Democrats want amnesty for illegal immigrants. They will vote for Democrats.
