My parents are always telling me stories. has it really changed that much? Like this one time, my dad and five other guys piled on a bike and went down to the bar. Yes they were all on the bike.
He also said that one time he got smashed in the head by a baseball, and his family just let him lay there while he regained consciousness.
Another time, a cop pulled some kid over for driving his car on the sidewalk. He was drunk, but the police let him off and told him to park it. None of these things would happen in today's world would they?

I heard that American society swings back and forth between conservative and liberal values. They vote for conservative politicians, and then they vote for liberal politicians. The undecided voters who don't stick with one party decide the elections. The politicians have a strong influence on the arts. The war movies and first person shooter games are training for the military. In some cases, the military pays the artists to make these war movies. Eisenhower warned Americans about the military-industrial complex. The military and the business owners are friends or the same people. They could engineer a military conflict to make their political candidate look good before an election. The owners of the mass media could suppress news that makes the military look bad.

Depends on the part of the country, too. Rural folks seem to put up with more hi-jinks than city folk, especially if you're known and liked.

You have heard the saying, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Some things have changed for the better, and some for the worse.

Yes it is different, back then people took responsibility for their bad behavior and other people did not make excuses for them.
