Wrong. School shootings in the United States
Quote: we never dreamed of being abducted by strangers. When a murder happened it was in the news, today they are so common place they do not always make the news.
Because we have increased communication now everyone knows when a mouse farts across the country. Abductions still happened, it was just that the paranoia about children being abducted and sex predators wasn't drilled into kids long ago like it is today. It was a little bit, though, because I'm 42 and I remember as a child learning about never taking candy or going somewhere with strangers. If your parents didn't at least teach you to be wary of strangers then they weren't doing their job.
Quote:When I grew up the news reported many good things today they only have time for the bad and there is more news time now than when I grew up. The country is a much more dangerous place today than it was then.
It's called "sensationalism." You know, if it bleeds, it leads. But are you absolutely certain that the news didn't report bad things back then, or is it just that when you're a kid you don't pay much attention to the news and instead would rather watch cartoons or play with your toys? I'm also thinking you're suffering from selective memory and cognitive bias.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
