[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just in Vietnam & Cambodia and was overall impressed with how much a strong sense of family structure impacts the overall society. There is very little visible homelessness (there is lots of visible poverty everywhere), and there is great pride in the family. 
Social services are much fewer yet people seem more secure.[/quote]
The loss of a shared culture and moral and decay of America is at fault here IMO. I now live in a micro-niche US locale that has a subtly oppressive, homogenous shared culture with strong families and, despite the drawbacks associated with that, it’s an incredibly clean and orderly place like something out of Scandinavia. To the extent that people lose their nerve and become lax in their moral life is when pockets of violence, despair, and poverty begin popping up.[/quote]

Hell no, LOL. An enclave of tiny niche Northern European ethnic group immigration who kept all their weird (but cute!) traditions and religious identity.[/quote][/quote]
