    when you look at the nitty gritty of history from the violence and crime ridden dregs of the urban centers of the 19th century and the early 20th. to the colonial violence of the European settlement of Africa and the east, to the american west, or even the conquest of the new world, and the war fare of the pre colombian indians the violence is not new or more wide spread, but by the modern means of TV is placed in your living room for your consumption. thing are as they always have been your just made aware.

    The violence tends to go up as the moon gets closer to being full. Yes I know this is unscientific. But just keep track of it and notice the rise and fall of violence in tune to the waxing and waning of the moon. It will amaze you.

    Apparently you havent noticed that violence has been on the rise for several centuries and even longer than that. Violence is nothing new.

    there is always tension , somewhere in the world, and people get frustrated and take their anger out on those that are most vulnerable.Hitler for instance in late 30's was totally out of control.

    This is what happens when God leaves the building.

    We have asked God to leave our Schools, & our Govt. and he has given us what we want.

    Did we not think that there would be consequences??

    Source(s): Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Gen 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

    It is something that we are bringing upon ourselves..

    This poem says it so well.

    Source(s): America the Beautiful, or so you used to be. Land of the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see. Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand, Oh, sweet land of liberty; your house is on the sand. Our children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine, Choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain. >From sea to shining sea, our Nation turns away >From the teaching of God's love and a need to always pray. We've kept God in our temples, how callous we have grown. When earth is but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne. We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core, Appointing Godless Judges who throw reason out the door, Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb, But brave enough to kill a baby before he leaves the womb. You think that God's not angry, that our land's a moral slum? How much longer will He wait before His judgment comes? How are we to face our God, from Whom we cannot hide? What then is left for us to do, but stem this evil tide? If we who are His children, will humbly turn and pray; Seek His holy face and mend our evil way: Then God will hear from Heaven and forgive us of our sins, He'll heal our sickly land and those who live within. But, America the Beautiful, if you don't - then you will see, A sad but Holy God withdraw His hand from Thee.
