The traditional values of America are being undermined and people no longer want a part in it.
Your user base is just growing up, thats all.
And honestly its heart warming news to me. I left here for a long time because it was a liberal hugbox with unrealistic views on human behaviour. when did things start changing?
Oh and the anti-jew sentiment isn't completely unwarranted but i wont get started on that.
My shattered liberalism doesnt make me care about weather whoever uses the bathroom, or hate jews. Those are reasons who many liberals think conservatives are morons

There are a lot more reasons for conservatives to think liberals are morons. For instance the repeated failure of their philosophy to provide general prosperity.
When I say conservative I do not mean the social conservatives. I speak only of the fiscal conservatives. I used to call myself a libertarian until that got corrupted by the arch isolationist idiot L. Ron Paul and his acolytes.

What about it? What's gonna happen when Norway runs out of North Sea oil wealth and they continue to get run over by welfare refugees? Liberalism begets bums.

Not if we elect Trump lol, and you'll see nothing but misogyny from the right for 8 years if Hillary wins.
But you do have a point, income inequality is becoming a more mainstream political issue, and to mitigate that the media is throwing immigration in your faces 24 hours a day.
Any opposition to hillary would be misogyny? You're dumb, kid.

Nononono.
What I said is that if you insult the extremist muslims continuously, and you get a Fatwa against you and a cop in front of your door and you still keep up the insults, that it would be logical to expect consequences.
Muslim extremists are doers, not debaters. They are armed and willing to engage perceived enemies.
Picture yourself standing in front of a Hells Angels chapter. You proceed to tell them that they are shit, their lifestyle is dishonorable, that Harley Davidson is for losers and that rock and roll sucks. What do you think what will happen in such a situation?
Hell, what do you think happens when you disrespect a soldier?
Or an astronaut:
Thats realism man.

i'm sure you can calculate this if you have the total of the fund. it would have to be many trillion to last long at all i'd estimate.

Depends how many welfare bums they have.
Assuming 100% of them were, and assuming the fund isn't added to with anything other than compound interest ever again, the fund is so large it might not even eat into the principal. The fund hovers around $900 billion US, even if that was in a savings account thats $18 billion coming in just from interest.
In other words: never.

if i could make that in interest i could have retired years ago from what i've earned.

It's funny...
Every five years or so, there is always a topic how "the pub has changed" that sparks big discussion. I think I may have been responsible for even starting one once. lol 
it does feel different to me and more hostile, but it's just a sign of the times. It's the clash of a couple different generations. The western world is volatile, fucked and a large majority of the tweendults are lost, angry and have been raised on social media, video games, bad food and lousy parenting 
We all are changing with the times. I was a lot more "shroomy" back in the day too. Times are a changing I suppose.
I miss having access to the veteran's lounge
