OJMayo,
Of course there is no shame left in America... finger-pointing removes all sense of responsibility from one's self and therefore removes any sense of shame one might feel.0 -
I agree with Monkey......Oh wait a minute...I didn't do it 0 -
I'd say people started to set aside shame during the '60's and after that it went down hill real fast. All that "free love", "Dope" (and all it's other forms) let people forget. Then the '70's[xx(][V] (don't make me type it out). The cut your heart out and take no prisoners of the '80's by then had little concept of shame (women wearing line backer shoulder pads to work[:D]). By now in the '90's all the kids raised by a single parent (or had little parenting if at all raised themselves). I'm sure society had better things to worry about than the next generation running the big show. 0 -
He went away with his Brother, "self reliance" and his Father and Uncle, "pride" and "respect".
All this happened after Big Mommy Government grew a bunch of teats and most of the extended leftist, globalist, socialist family latched hold and began suckling.0 -
Why???? It's everybody's elses's fault!!!!!!! 0 -
How can there be shame, when the government sets up 'feeding stations' at disasters...
Where big brave warriour 'been there done that' types meekly submit to crawling on their bellies to get the means to protect themselves and their loved ones...
when the government extracts..at the point of a gun...moneys...and hands it out to every two-bit dictator in the world...and most of the people in this country ?

i think that is half of it. i think the other half is that people just dont want to think they are bad, that they did anything bad. they just want to feel good.0 -
I didn't have sex with Monica Lewenski, either. 0 -

good question. i am not sure. i dont know exactly what shame is so i am not sure if i have shame. it seems everyone has their own definition of shame so mine might not be the same as yours or the same as the dictionary version.0 -
The only thing shame is good for is keeping ugly people off clothing optional beaches.

The people learn from the government. Look at the lying and stealing of money from the people in office RIGHT NOW! Not to mention all the other scumbags we've had in office in the last 20 years......

It drowned in a place called Chapaquidic. It died on a street next to a man named Reginald Denny. It was convicted in a courtroom and sent away by Judge Ito. It burned in Waco.[:(]
It began a long slow death when we decided personal convenience and responsibility could be moderated and adjusted in a clinic by the easy disposal of a fetus. [xx(]0 -

abortion. when half the country felt it was their RIGHT to kill their own children and they fought for that right. if you can do that and not feel shame then you can do anything. 0
