I try to shield my youngest from it but I can only do that for so long..My Oldest is 22 and my daughter is 16 so they know what the world is...For instance yesterday My wife and I took my youngest to The Bronx Zoo...No security walking in that place not that I want any but any fucking nut job and go in there and do a lot of damage..I was thinking about scenerios like that when I should be just enjoying the zoo with my family....Beautiful world we live in but a lot of the people are very ugly with their thoughts and actions
kids are a way off for me but at this point with technology and everything I dont even think its worth doing all I can to shield them from any of it. our world is so fucked and technology will only act as a bigger magnifying glass the more it advances. Ill tell them the world is a cold place with some nice people. what happens happens.
also partly why Ill not raise them with a religion. theyll be encouraged to find strength is what makes them happy so long as it doesnt hurt others. religious ideologies always lead to trouble.
Sadly you could now have those thoughts whenever you go out to a show or ballgame or museum or parade or school or large event where people are gathered

What I mean by shield him (while I can now I wont be able to forever) is just don't discuss bad shit in front of him at the present time..He just turned 8....Wan't him to be a little kid for as long as possible without him having to think about the bad shit of the world...Just sucks man...Fucking people out ejoying a concert and got blown to shit...for what? You know who fucking did it
And before anyone calls me a this or that for pointing fingers I'll bet you any amount of money it was a religious fanatic..most likely islam.....their track record isn't too good these days
There have always been shitty people in the world, we just hear about it more now.
The present day is the best time to live of any period in human history. Quit being afraid.
Technology wise you're right...but that is all...It was much easier for families to support themselves in earlier decades 70's 80's and even the 90's...Most prices have gone up on everything but wages haven't for a lot of people...
arlos mostly right. but with technology comes new ways to get fucked over, or a platform for atrocities. cyberterrorism, child pornography and thr money people pay for it, animal snuff, identity theft, etc.
fucked up people will flock to an open stage.
not to mention the police and political corruption bullshit. that shit aint new... its been here all along. were just hearing about it more now because of technology. terrible things on all fronts have been happening for so long.
but again, arlos mostly right. people are living longer and safer lives now.
I guess so now that I think about it a little more but it still doesn't take away the fact that it was easier to raise a family back when...People who struggle with that live very stressful lives so telling them it's better now prob. doesn't work for them...Easy living trumps all imo
I'll bring my kids to whatever I feel like. 0 fucks. Being scared of something like a terrorist attack happening is a waste of time afaic. It would be more likely we crash a car and everyone die. I don't see anyone giving up driving

You mis-understood me...I would never stop doing anything I wan't to do..I was just implying that there were certain thoughts that went through my mind while visiting the zoo..Things I shouldn't have to think about but today you have to think about them ESPECIALLY in NYC
I seriously dont think it's worse now anyways. It's more that every little thing that happens is this overblown scandal. Whos fault is it? What could've changed? Was this a hate tell crime? Should we bomb someone? Should we ban guns? Its a circus. I cant help but bail from the conversation because most of the time it has no impact on me and it wouldnt matter if it did because my hands are tied and i couldn't do anything about it even if I wanted to. People have been loony since forever. Now were just packed in like sardines so when someone cracks a lot more birds get hit with their stones. Personally, I cant believe how much people freak out about "terrorist" attacks, but they let cops slaughter people at will and not only allow it to continue, but then go full Stockholm syndrome and defend the cops.
I work woth this 70+year old lady and she was just stading at my desk using my phone to talk to a person i was helping. She literal just ripped a fart right in my face. Im presuming it was on accident and giving her the excise of old age But man wtf lmao.
