Honestly????
I think it may be too late.
Corporate greed... building another and another and another McDonalds/Wal-Mart-Cookie Cutter Shopping Mall... to pay minimum wages.
Instant gratification, instant messages, instant everything... no one has patience anymore. Gimme Gimme Gimme, me 1st, screw you.
Obsessions with meaningless crap... Prada, labels, new and improved, Nike... for what?
Angry, hateful SHlT they call music...
12 year old girls dancing bent over rubbing their @$$ against their partners like a hooker with an itchy cooch.
Lack of educated people under 30... who talk like wiggers... axe me ..my babydaddy/babymama... totally ghetto
rampant teenage pregnancy and dependence on Welfare.
Global warming, corrupt leaders who get away with it.
You can't hit your kids,...
Crack, meth, E, PCP....
I am so glad I don't have kids.
I know I will have to work till the day I die.
No retirement, no Social Security, no pensions after working my @$$ off since I was 14.
Every year you work harder, get paid the same or less and then try to buy things that have increased in price by 200% and is crap made in other countries for pennies.
Global warming, poison seafood, destroyed forests and coastlines...rape of the environment...
There is nothing to look forward to.

We live in a disposable society where nothing is valued.Materialism and covertousness is now the norm.The need to have and possess excludes moral integrity.The most important words to people these days are ME,MYSELF and I.Society has been the victim of ever increasing change without adequate preparation.Young people are exposed to pressures that they don't understand.We have not the oppurtunity to examine the issues that effect each and every one of us in a way that is safe and supportive.The powers that be allowed society to to gorge on the abundance of availability without considering the long term outcomes.The evidence of which is now causing concern.The generation gap is forever widening and the lifetime experiences of older people are viewed as unimportant and irrelavent.I truly believe we are living in dangerous times with catasrophic consequences for future generations.Will there be a reversal?Not in my lifetime,sadly.

EVERY BODY IS SELFISH, animals kill eachother and their young just to gain new territories, they steal food, they have multipule partners, just like humans, its nature, get OVER IT! What about the generation that created this lovely country by spreading small pox to indians and taking their land?? I would say they were the most selfish.

It will only get worse. Because the standard of education is deteriorating rapidly.

I BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE OF THE BREAKDOWN IN FAMILIES, PARENTS SPOIL THERE KIDS TOO MUCH, AND DO NOT TEACH THEM ANY RESPECT. OR ELSE THEY IGNORE THEM ALTOGETHER AND LET THEM RUN WILD.
