The slippery slope is a rough thing. People said it would happen and were mocked for it.
But everything the social conservatives said would happen by accepting more and more levels of deviancy happened.
I think they are at the trying to get pedophilia accepted stage now.
The 'religious revival in the next two decades' is a good bet: historically, the fifth decade of the century is a time of religious revival in the USA; it was so in the 1740s(First Great Awakening), the 1840s(last decade of the Second Great Awakening) and the 1940s(there was a religious revival back then(mainly after WWII), although the Third Great Awakening happened earlier, ending in the 1930s).There is a reason why we are having a populist revolt and why were probally in for a religious revival with in the next two decades and why I think traditionalism will make a massive unstopable comeback in 80 or so years.
You're partly misunderstanding what I meant. It won't happen(if it happens) because it's a date in the calendar; it may happen, because history seems to point that large enough groups of people(in the US at least) get sick of... irreligiosity(is that even a word? Couldn't think of a better one anyway) and start putting religion back into society(and there you get your shedding of blood, sweat and tears) at somewhat regular intervals.I tend to think that cyclic views of history like this neglect the blood, sweat, and tears shed in making it happen. Things don't happen because it's X decade, they do it because relatively small groups of people buckle down and force it to. And while there can definitely be an energy from the people, without that being harnessed it goes nowhere and achieves little.

No, pedo's have been trying to hop onboard the LGBT train for a long time. And they have been kicked off repeatedly in the past. But now, with everything accomplished, people left the political machine with the keys in the ignition, and people who were previously useful crazies (see socialists) or abhorrents (pedos) are getting onboard.They had been trying for some time.
He's also a strawman. It works on multiple levels.
The only way "mandatory anal probing" could be considered justified is if a new - very virulent and spreadable - form of cancer (or something else) that's even more difficult to detect non-visually than either an enlarged prostate or colon cancer crops up.
Rectal AIDS vaccine? Bi yearly boosters. Could you really not seem them going for a mandate?The only way "mandatory anal probing" could be considered justified is if a new - very virulent and spreadable - form of cancer (or something else) that's even more difficult to detect non-visually than either an enlarged prostate or colon cancer crops up.
I'm in my 40s and not yet due for a colonoscopy for a few years.
