It starts with being a problem that you dont care that others are self-mutilating themselves spiritually, mentally and even physically. You are not a traditionalist if you "dont give a shit" if others are doing it; you are a libertarian, and would be labelled a crazed leftist two hundred years ago.

Unless you actually do the minimal effort to preserve truth and say that the spoon is actually a spoon, not a metal object, so you might save face, you cannot carry your cross, and for that reason, not preserving any tradition.

And before you kneejerk it, im not saying that you should take efforts and sacrifice yourself for those people (though you should, by at least telling them the truth), but it should bother you that by allowing these people to degrade your society uncontested, you are devolving the world slowly, making it worse for your children and grandchildren. Your thoughts are exactly what the people in 1960's had in mind; welcome to 60 years later. Two generations in and now we are close to state enforced homossexuality.

    Thank you. Don't fall for the bait that children are expensive. Have as many as you can and educate them, be present. This already changes the world in a small way.
