morality is on a decline in USA in a big way. Young people dying from drugs, pedophiles, more murders than ever before and the list goes on and on.

I dont think other countries are in moral decay because of us if they are. I dont know about the morals of other countries.

As an older person I will try to answer and not preach. When I was growing up the things that Kids do now(sex at a early age, sex before marriage ;reading sexual literature or talking or asking about sex}was unheard of. A woman and her male friend were celebate until they were married . If a young girl became pregnant before marriage it brought disgrace on the family and in some cases the girl was sent away to have the baby so it could be put up for adoption. By doing this the family hoped no one would find out.
As for the rest of the world I would say yes and yes America probably does have a big influence on the world, after all we are one of the super powers and people want to imitate us and they are influenced by what they see us do.

No! We're the puritans in the world. 200 years ago a woman showing her ankle was unthinkable. Check the beaches today. Morality evolves from generation to generation. There are some tabboos that are always immoral in all cultures, such as murder, rape, etc... That will never change, though there are cultures that still stone a woman (and not the good way) for showing her face in public, which could be argued as State sponsered murder. As for being married before having a baby, etc... That's a matter of Faith rather than general morality. It won't be long before the majority of children will be born out of wedlock. It's not so much immorality as marriage itself becoming outdated. The majority is evolving away from archaic rituals that can be tossed out by standing in front of a judge and saying "Do Over!"

Morality is a rather subjective time period depending upon who's in value. How, operating example can anybody argue that the previous administration had any morality what so ever, even as many evaluate the conservative route, bar none, to be the most moral? See what I propose?

Depends on what your definition of 'morals' is.There are many Americans who attend church,talk about their version of 'morality',etc...then go cut off the guy next to them driving home and give him the finger.These same types support Bush's stance against abortion,but do not see him as the reason hundreds get murdered in Iraq each and every day.

I would not blame Hollywood.

most definately, ask how many 20 - 14 years olds are proud of America. I'm sure they would want to go to the U.K, Canada, or Austrailia instead. Trust me
