Didn't England at one time have an area where people could speak freely, like in a park? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park seems to be the earliest and most well known. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internet gives the spirit of the air dominion, rulers of darkness,principalities etc ...it's the main source of information & news for our young vulnerable minds- if they " Google" it,it must be true.People seem to thing this is the age of increased knowledge,I think that's the funniest thing I ever heard!!! Unfortunately our youths know nothing about History,our Constitution,Democracy & least of all God's Word - their priorities are to live as they please and for everyone to accept it-meanwhile they don't realize what they are fighting for is counterproductive While quality of information is decreasing. Through people knowing less about history, finance and politics. The quantity of information people are exposed to is rising steeply. Through commercials, emails, txts, mobile phones, internet. Its easy to forget that people of past eras didn't know what germs were. And lacked basic knowledge about human sanitation and hygiene. While we might look around us and comment upon a perceived lack of intelligence by others making us feel smart. Those of past eras were considerably less knowledgeable about many things in contrast to even the less educated person alive today. Only 2 years ago, liberals in the united states were saying no one in the country needed to own a gun. Then the pandemic came along in 2020 and liberals began buying guns in record numbers. Lessons relating to history, Constitution and democracy are not difficult to learn. People only need to see their real world application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This situation is not surprising to me. I was banned one year from a Christian forum for refusing to apologize to a moderator when I questioned his objectivity. Sometimes there's a cost for standing up for truth and Judeo/Christian morality. I hope you didn't do that on the open forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well dear,Personally I don't " feel" smart from observing stupidity- it has zero to do with my own knowledge or education.. so I'm not sure who you might be referring to with that statement? In any event what I do feel is " sadness" -what society has become is a sad state of affairs with an abundance of sheer ignorance and beautiful young minds stagnated by " convenience"..... And that's what I see all around me,I talk with many many people everyday as their eyes stare at their little appendage( screen )& their little fingers are busy typing idle chit chat ...wouldn't it be wonderful if they would go into the panic they do if they left their Bible at home instead of a cell phone? Just sayin❤️ I'm really glad to have been born in one of those past eras you speak of- in school we could not even have a piece of scrap paper or a pencil for calculations,only an ink pen was permissable or it was considered " cheating"- we were encouraged to " think".... No,it does not make me feel "smart' to see what goes on today,it makes me sad that so much potential is wasted and kids just don't know any different or better....Jesus Come quickly? In His Love,Kwik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
