Yes.
...oh, I'm supposed to explain? But I thought just "Yes" explained it SO thoroughly! ... well, I guess ILikeApples5520 explained it best...
EVERY GENERATION has complained about their Youth changing for the worse... that society was going to burn in hell... that there's no hope in our futures...
*sigh* And stop with the emo posts saying that the entire human race is "riddled and infested" with stupidity. Yes, I know it's true. I've been at the same position as you people to look down at the human race with disgrace, and seeing myself as a part of the problem.
But cut the crap and the drama and look at it this way "The animals themselves don't give a crap about the 'drama' that takes fold around the world... why should you? Live as they do and survive." Wanna' change the world? Words and philosophies can only get you so far... Actions can only get you so far...
Live it. And let others learn it.
We're so selfish as to say others are to be blamed for the horridness in society today, and we add in "I suck too" to make ourselves seem understanding to that point. If that's what you really felt, you coulda' just killed yourself and ended your part of the problem.
... well, enough of that.
Our society is NOT going to hell. Our morals and dignity are not down the drain.
They're young. They were taught wrong. And just like you and me, who were a disgrace to our parents, they'll grow up and realize how stupid they were.
Yes, little by little a respectful gesture disappears... but you're not looking at the whole picture: We lose some to gain some. We get rid of a respectful rule, to give the freedom we "promised" to give. To let us do actions, and be held accountable for them. More and more laws seem to be made to give people more movement, and more punishments. And this is because SOCIETY IS MOVING.
If you don't like the direction it's going, move to another country. Live in the forest. Live in a swamp. You DON'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THEM.
...and I may talk like a saint, but I'd punch a kid in the face if he tried back-talking me.
I'd punch him REALLY HARD. And I'd feel SOOOO GOOD in doing so... *haa~~~*
