Yup I do agree! If they aren't gone, they are very limited! I mean look at the news, everyday you hear someone harming someone over the most pointless things, I think the respect for others is going out the window, nowadays it's "get what's yours and forget about everyone else"

No. People may have relaxed their standards some, but I don't believe that morality has fallen by the wayside. I instill morality in my children and I am their 1st and most important example. We try to be good moral people. I think most people do. You only hear about the bad things, that's probably why someone would think that we are less moral as a society.

Not at all. Dictionary.com defines morals as "Of or concerned with the judgment of the goodness or badness of human action and character" (that's the first definition anyway).
What is considered good or bad, may change over time...stealing is still bad, lying is still bad, having sex out of wedlock is no longer considered bad by many (it used to be though), and the list could go on...
Basically it should involve harming others...and most people I know, do not desire to harm others...
Morals may have changed...some people may have fewer than they should, but no...they are not gone...not by a long shot...

No, I think that as societies change morality must change with it. We're in a state of flux right now where our actual morality has changed but people haven't let go of *saying* what the old way of morality is. It'll catch up eventually, it always does.

No, i think everyone has morals. It's whether or not they choose to use them. You have to think about the world we live in today, and how most people are raised, to get a really good understanding of why everything is going to hell in a hand basket!

I think that the scale to moral values have been scaling down year after year. More immoral things are being widely excepted. I think that most people would believe that they have morals by today's standards

In some ways, we are becominmg more moral - more accepting of other peoples' ways, for instance.
More willing to stand up and speak out when our leaders (or "leaders") (of either party) err.
And less likely to confuse morality with prudity.

It appears that way, especially when you watch television. I believe that there are still very good and moral people in this world, they don't draw attention to themselves as much as the immoral do.
