[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2745504, member: 8394"] Joy of being a commercial fisherman is that I keep getting older and crewman stay the same age. Keeps me young having to almost always have to interface and live around 18-25 year olds. Family doesn't really exist, sure it does in isolated pockets but it's the exception not the norm. More importantly fathers don't really exist, so families are often rudderless. Families built communities, communities had value systems that had some form of faith component. The faith component gave a moral code to live by and an explanation and outlet for the injustice that occurs in any life. We killed all those institutions, and danced on the grave to celebrate our new "liberation". Consequences are not pretty. Today if you're a young man the world's angst is layed at your feet. The sins of the past are yours to attone for. Every single option of debauchery is one click away, your emotional world exists on a manufactured plane but you have to live life in a real one. From what I've seen it's a fairly hopeless one. All this could be mitigated if we had strong families, churches and more importantly active and engaged fathers. Without it there is only despair or anger. We see the brutal acts of anger, but the real killer is the despair. On the flip side, the Jordan Peterson phenomena seems to be effectively combating it on some small level. Only time will tell if it does in fact have a broader societal impact. [/QUOTE]
