No I don't need to adapt to "the new world" where people have no idea of what gender they are, or influence their children in kindergarten that they are really not a boy if they feel they are a girl...I don't have to adapt to African Americans claiming all white people should give them their houses in atonement for slavery...This whole world is going backwards and people like you encouraging others to embrace and accept this "new world" rather than trying to right the wrongs being committed, are the biggest problem there is...

The relative disappearance of family dinners should not be cited as a reason this country is getting worse. Sure, in the so-called "good old days" families enjoyed eating together, but back then only one parent was employed or both parents had the same work hours and kids had nothing better to do outside the house. Family dinners have steadily declined due to work, school, and activity schedule conflicts that did not exist when my mom was a kid. What bothers me is people just coexist during meals, not taking their time together seriously. That is what families need to get back to: the true meaning of "together time." It does not matter if they all eat together or not; what matters is their personal interactions when they get those opportunities. If you eat with family, talk with family, not your friends on Facebook.

Everyone needs to adapt to the "new world." You had no choice but to adapt to seeing black and white people in the same public restrooms, bilingual signs everywhere, and more as demographics and people's attitudes toward racial minorities evolved. You don't have to like the changes - that is strictly your opinion - but you must adapt because they aren't going away. Nobody is forcing you to like changes you think are stupid or illogical. Accepting the new world is not supposed to be easy. Neither is opening your mind to big changes in how society operates. However, adapting to the new world is not a choice and you only hurt yourself by not trying.

The New world?

Who is building this new world and why didn't I get a say in it?

Why do i have to accept someone else's idea of normal?
What is wrong with being a traditionalist?

I don't think I have to accept the fact that everyone is tweeting and instagramming and eating in front of the TVs and spending less time with family and more time with hoodlums...
I won't mind fighting this idea that life is what it is and we should all just accept it as it lies
I like raising my kids to value family and to question fads and trends. And we still do dinner time with no cell phones and no TVs.


The new world lol psssh
