Ok then. As another poster said the growth of media in our society. The more time that people have spent in front of a screen the more society has gone downhill. Now people have that screen in front of themselves in public. It’s maddening to be in line behind an idiot that can’t get off the phone long enough or stop staring at their phone screen long enough to interact with the person in front of them.

Entitlement. The belief things should be given and not earned.

Not knowing the difference between rights vs privelage.

Both expose and take advantage of a socially regressing society.

Television, movie and popular radio propaganda decade after decade telling people what is good about bad, and bad about good.

Someone still needs to prove to me society is regressing

Change doesn’t mean it’s regressing

While we do have many problems and society is and has changed and will continue to do so I do not by any stretch of the imagination believe America is downfallen. Quite frankly far from it. It is still the greatest country on earth with endless possibilities and I have faith that my children will be able to enjoy the same success this country has given me.

Just because we don’t agree with societal change and are politically polarized doesn’t mean we are doomed.

Socially? Of course it is. Everything is exposed, and dumbed down

Common social fabrics have been destroyed. Nuclear family for one. Norms which held abhorrent behavior in check are dying

People don’t know how to have a casual conversation anymore. Everyone under 30 is socially retarded.

americans are:
overwhelmingly fat
criminal- compare violent and property crime rates to the 50s and 60s
trashy- we're closing in on the majority of children being born out of wedlock. and divorce, while down compared to the 90s or so, is still out of control
financially destitute
public education is deteriorating

Growth of the welfare state. Too many women DGAF if they get knocked up some guy they know isnt gonna be around for the long term because the taxpayers will pay for their poor life decisions and they won’t have to go work for a living.

Compare most stats to the 80s and 90s

And even so, it would seem as we solve some of societies woes, we develop new ones

But that isn’t regressing, that is just changing, replacing bad with a different bad, not adding more bad

Lack of two parent homes. Over 50% of children in America today do NOT live with a mother and father at home.


Meh. I know way too many bad apples who grew up with two parents. A lot of the thugs you think didn’t have a present father actually grew up with 2 middle class church going parents. The facade these kids put on is laughable, all to keep up with “the culcha”
