Because the Duggars (TV show "19 kids and counting", I think) are totally perfect "family values". They let their son molest their daughters and other children and never reported it because they knew they wouldn't be allowed to homeschool anymore.
Those people don't belong anywhere near children. Ever. They belong at the end of a chainsaw, and I would love to be the executioner behind that chainsaw.
American values were founded when guns were 30 second reload, 25-ish if you were well trained, so shooting sprees when 2nd amendment was passed? Basically impossible. 1800s was when revolvers became common, the 2nd was in 1791. Therefore a major American value is long outdated and needs to be revised to match reality, unless you think that life now works 300 times faster than it used to (assuming 600 RPM cyclic for assault rifles i.e. 10 shots a second, which is pretty typical). Then how about e-mails crossing the Atlantic in under a second instead of several weeks? That's more than a hundred thousand times if my mental quick math is correct. How bout you try making your heart beat, or reflexes, that many times faster than your ancestors? Is the pace of life really that much faster? NO.
Single mothers... perhaps that's because you're removing abortion clinics that would have headed off the problem the same way getting a DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) shot every 10 years heads off those illnesses. As a side note, since often race is dragged into this, have you seen the statistics that show black men to be, by a small margin, more involved with children's lives than white men, particularly if the parents are not married?
Hmm, so 10% of 1 million is more tax paid than 20% of 40K, but the guy with the 900K left over to stash in an offshore bank and trade in goods that do not create material value like speculation markets versus the 32K hand-to-mouth consumer are completely different. If you need more than 100 million a year to live, then you deserve to be dead from "lack of money", because you are too impaired at that basic life function--it's like saying someone's a genius at math... who can't even breathe on their own.
As for riots, the last time we had major riots were cross-burning white-hood-wearing thugs who really should have made said cloaks and hoods their body bags. Modern Americans see the cops attacking people for nothing and shooting to kill every damned time (even when the suspect is running, there's something called shooting the leg) and we conclude they act like an occupying army. You ever get "Cruelty of Mercenaries" firing in your games? The US fails to spend on police training the way a respectable nation would (the first option which gives higher merc costs and fewer mercs for a while), is it any surprise that it's bleeding Prestige and getting unrest from "Terrorized by merc--ahem, cops"?
Every empire falls the same way, to a cancer within. Ming did, Qing did, Tsarist Russia did, the USSR did, and so America will fall inevitably. Anything with a beginning has an end.
