You are statistically more likely to commit suicide than be murdered.

So you're saying the most likely killer you have to worry about is

Do you know how the suicide rate now compares to the dark ages?

Humans have been around for a few hundred thousand years. For 99% of that time

Very true. We have so much that we can contemplate our existence now.

Better times in the 50’s and sixties. Neighborhoods and society was far more safe

Not entirely true. Domestic violence is FAR lower now than the 50s or 60s.

I can promise you that growing up in that time was a lot safer than it is today.

How so?

It was more safe for blacks and other minorities? Or only if they

Why would people be losing their souls becoming better people?
