And how, pray-tell, is it damaging to EVERYBODY? I can't wait to hear the answer to this one.
Again, I ask, have you ever heard of ROME?
The country destroyed itself because of its gluttony, homosexuality, abortion, laziness, etc etc etc...
Does that strike any similarities to our nation?
Now that I have a few minutes, I will tell you why you are wrong.
First of all, the collapse of the Roman empire took a long time. Many things have been suggested that perhaps contributed to the fall. The military reforms that granted Roman citizenship to all that served in her armies was one. As Rome grew more Christian, it's citizens also became more pacifist. Unwilling to battle for Rome, the armies of Rome became less Roman and they began to consist of men of the outlying provinces. Men that identified themselves not as Romans, but as English, German and so on. Even the lead that Romans used to create their plumbing system has been blamed. I beleive that all of the factors that have been suggested played a part. But the most critical contributors were constant infighting and the strenthening of the barbarians that surrounded Rome.
