MS13 is a particularly nasty gang violence-wise. They have nothing to do with the Mayan culture with which they claim connection. Mayan culture is dead. Some of our culturals (agricultural revolution people) are using symbols from extinct Mayan ancient for their gang stuff. So, why not note these gang members like to tattoo particular numbers on their faces?

It is common knowledge that Surenos are 13 and Nortenos are 14. You chose your numbers, if they were sacred, you blasphemed. Pretty disingenuous argument, frankly.

Past history was a struggle between principle and debauchery. Corruption was followed by reform and so on. Man being inclined to sin but called to fellowship with God, neither could totally vanquish the other. Then liberalism made debauchery itself into a principle and became therefore unstoppable. If you publicly criticize promiscuity, you will be confronted not just or even primarily by those motivated to defend the current laxity by personal lust. You will face the moral outrage of the populace, who will accuse you of violating a sacred principle (tolerance/women can do no wrong).
