@Loney:

2. Yes, that is true, Loney. But my point is that sitting here right now, in 2014, with modern culture, and the government, Christianity as well as other religions have been pressed on more so then this country has really ever seen. The pilgrims started this country to practice their religion, to be able to do what their religion requires, in all things. And the founding fathers had the same view. It's not just freedom to worship, but freedom to tell others and the government we can raise our kids the way we want. This country started with Christianity as the core, and now it's trying to just stay in the shell. I don't know if you get what I'm trying to say or not. So yes, it would be more towards ""free" as in the things I want to do, and others as well."

3. Over 75, huh? Listen, if you were 75 or 80, in what year/s what that be when you were a teen? I didn't say I won't want to keep on living in this age right now if I was 75. Give it another 25 years, and then tell me what the average lifespan is then. As for safer now, the only reason some would say it's safer, is because we have all this stuff to counter all the bad things, in a way. (yes I know we have safer places and better hospitals etc, but life evil isn't getting better, just the defense is getting stronger) Yes, you did have things like that in the 50's, but my point is the culture now is worse then in that time, which contributes to lives being taken now, than at that time. If that makes sense.
