We lost a generation to booze prior to 1960. We lost another generation to drugs in the sixties. We have been losing all generations since then to declining morals in favor of making each other feel good about "doing your own thing". Just my opinion.

No. The ones who do these things are the ones on the news!
Most people do not act like this. A small percentage do.
Has been this way for thousands of years. Will continue long into the future.
In the movie Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, we had a world free of all problems. A small group of people lived OUTSIDE of the cities, in waste lands because they did not want to fit into society. Nothing changes. Difference is, they were not allowed into the cities.

Hmmm... do you really think EVERYBODY is boozing/drugged out/immoral? Or are you just going by the ones that make the headlines? It's really Darwinism in action - the stupid ones do the stupid stuff, and don't survive; the rest (which is most) go on to reproduce and generally do pretty well.

Yes, it's all part of the "grand scheme" of the dumbing down of America! The government wants everyone to be stupid and do as their told, we are living in a Dictatorship now, things can't get too much worse but people are not noticing! Wake up America before it's too late!

Without a doubt. We are becoming a society without judgment, full of "tolerance." Tolerating sex offenders who are misunderstood and need rehab. Tolerating group agendas that undermine the values of our country. Tolerating overindulgence in everything. We don't let our friends know their promiscuous behavior is wrong for fear of judging them, or that their weekly drinking binges and partying are excessive for fear of sounding like their parents. Nothing is considered wrong any more. Not raping kids, or killing people, or killing ourselves. We have a generation of self absorbed, TV watching, ipod listening, overindulging people who cannot unplug themselves long enough to make a coherent thought for themselves.

We lose some yet no longer all! The meth epidemic is undesirable alongside with the ghb and ectasy. The alcohol money owed for lots of tragic effects as properly. We lose them to violence and rapid making use of as properly because of the fact the conflict in Iraq.

We have destroyed public education, we have taken civic understanding away from our youth and with it the pride and pleasure of belonging to a community. When young people don't want to belong to a community they don't behave themselves like people who need to be in a group...
This is how we lost many of them.

I don't know, are YOU like that? Is your family? What about your friends? Kids, perhaps? I understand how the modernization of this world seems cruel and filthy on the surface, but there are good things around us, too.

that's what everyone said during the hippie 70's... Vietnam, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Look how they turned out? Not too bad...
