Your correct, TOTV is the only social media I have ever used. So far, no wack job mass murders have sought out instant rock star status through TOTV “old retired people” media. And despite a lot of complaining, no one has gone postal over dog poop, bad parking, poor golf conditions, increased happy hour prices, or having to share the MMP’s with various users.

4. Return to discipline. Kids are your responsibility to society, NOT your new cuddly best friend for you to pamper and indulge;
5. Return to a shared moral code. In the past, it was Christianity and regular church attendance;
6. Return to community norms. No more, "but it's their culture to be rude" excuses. Abide by community standards or face social ostracism;
7. A return to accountability and personal responsibility for one's actions and behaviors.

We would have to stop the world and restart again to accomplish this.

Don't know about any of you people, but I'm a senior citizen looking for my eternal life
someplace else.

Wrong, as with anything............to move forward, you have to take a first step.

See, some of us consider that moving backward not forward. As with many things moving forward can be painful. The industrial revolution was the start of all the things listed, should we return to pre-industrialization? That was a lovely bucolic time.

Can't change the divorce rate, with the current divorce rate you'll always
have a one parent home.

And in my opinion with such high divorce rate leads to trophy for all....bc the one parent household is always competing against the other parent, daddy got you this...well I'm gonna get you this better thing. In addition their is resulting guilt that the child is hurting mentally from the split...hence the trophy isssue...Oh no, you did great, you're the best, you made an excellent effort, heres a trophy.

Religion issue...well that's a tough one. I do believe, yes allot pulled away in almost defiance, but things within the catholic church was a major factor.

Yea, respect...well we all know that starts at home. Here's a conundrum...my grandkids are allowed to sit at the dining room chair with their feet on the seat, drives me nuts...at my house when they sit on a counter stool that way....its not allowed..."get you feet off the seat".....you can not imagine the looks....first the grandkids at me....mean grandma...then over to their parent, like I'm speaking another language...then the parent will "explain " well, they are used to doing......
I dont really care....
Anyway, sorry to go on...but I guess we gotta get the feet out of the seat...so to speak.

Well, I wish we could live the world ElDiabloJoe suggests, but here's a couple of things we could actually do now.

1. Re-open the insane asylums and make it possible to once again commit dangerous lunatics, like we used to do back before we had mass-murders by dangerous lunatics every other month.

2. Make Big Tech apply the same powerful algorithms they use to detect people pointing out that the Covid Vaccines don't work, to detecting the ravings of the next murderous lunatic, as he documents in detail on-line his plans to commit mass murder.

Just a couple of alternative common-sense ideas, since everyone seems to have a "common sense" plan these days to remove 400 million guns, which might be a little more difficult than simply locking up the lunatics.

I agree with No. 1. But, I don't see how your No. 2 would acccomplish much unless you are going to deny people their legal due process. I don't like red flag laws because they allow people, who are not part of the justice system, to take away legal rights without any due process. They take away your rights, and then you are guilty until you can prove that you are innocent.

The problem with "common sense" ideas is that there will never be universal agreement on what constitutes common sense, especially in today's world.

Funny, no mention of the guns used. Like that is not part of the problem?
