I firmly believe that there is no way to discuss this issue in depth without being censored or derided by one or more organizations (or disorganized adherents of the same premises as those orgs).

I won't even go into the details of why, for the same fear. I will only say, for now, that loneliness as an epidemic is a direct consequence of disconnecting modern human interaction from many many many years of working solutions. You can take from that what you will.

Phrasing your thoughts this way is tedious and melodramatic. What is anyone supposed to glean from this comment? How are they meant to respond to it? Just plainly say what it is you want to say and deal with the consequences. Are you suggesting more people should be going to church?

What I assume the poster is trying to say, (again, an assumption) is that since we have moved so far left towards extreme liberalism to appease this increasing small minority of people that we are only reaping what we sow.
