Just for the record, the reason I'm on here is to know I'm not alone with what I think. I have no resources to do anything politically. I'm a nobody. But you're right, I should've known better. Forums just bring out the worst in people anyway.

11 Facts About Human Trafficking

1 Globally, the average cost of a slave is $90.
2 Trafficking primarily involves exploitation which comes in many forms, including: forcing victims into prostitution, subjecting victims to slavery or involuntary servitude and compelling victims to commit sex acts for the purpose of creating pornography.
3 According to some estimates, approximately 80% of trafficking involves sexual exploitation, and 19% involves labor exploitation.
4 There are approximately 20 to 30 million slaves in the world today.
5 According to the U.S. State Department, 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year, of which 80% are female and half are children
6 The average age a teen enters the sex trade in the U.S. is 12 to 14-year-old. Many victims are runaway girls who were sexually abused as children.
7 California harbors 3 of the FBI’s 13 highest child sex trafficking areas on the nation: Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego.
8 The National Human Trafficking Hotline receives more calls from Texas than any other state in the US. 15% of those calls are from the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
9 Between 14,500 and 17,500 people are trafficked into the U.S. each year.
10 Human trafficking is the third largest international crime industry (behind illegal drugs and arms trafficking). It reportedly generates a profit of $32 billion every year. Of that number, $15.5 billion is made in industrialized countries.

Now am I saying school shooting are irrelevant? Of course not. But there are much bigger crimes going on with more reaching affects. So where's the outrage for That?
America is in decline and, like all great empires through history, is destined to fall. Often from within, such as we are seeing now. We can't stop it.

$90 bucks, that's it? I should buy a couple, train them in combat and physical security, and post them at the school.

They can't be blamed for not having values they weren't taught.

I agree, there needs to be some kind of reform. But we also need to remember that Jesus never wanted a theocracy. He said his kingdom is not of this world.

America was a far more civil place to live and raise a family before 1960. Better to take the kids to church on Sunday than to play baseball, soccer or go to gymnastics.

Too busy being amused to stop and pay attention to what God has done and is doing for our happiness.

For the cause of Christ

Actually it was good for you to bring your feelings forward,and no forums don't bring out just "the worst" sometimes or even more often than not it brings out "the best" in people,take me for instance I was a so called "nobody" when I joined in 2017,now at 2018 I have helped many people of a variety of cultures,ages and occasionally different religions,sort through problems and come to solutions,and I have friends to just talk to or goof off with,you have just begun you might say but you can be "more" if you want to be around here,I started out as a spirit filled goof ball wanting to share about being saved through Jesus you can be more than your starting impression too!
