How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

A lot of valid points above
Rap Music - Glorifies being a thug , drinking "Lean" or "Purple Drank" to young children
Drugs, Alcohol and more Drugs.
Parents not raising their children , my Wife use to be a school teacher. The High School in Washington state she taught at had a 70% rating of teens living in non custodial homes.
Children having phones and electronic devices from elementary age up. Remember having an Imagination ?
Internet - look at how much stuff you have accidentally seen that you wish you never would of seen.

The loss of the sense of community.
The more mobile we have become the less close knit we are. The industrial revolution brought rapid change and the technological revolution is bringing it even faster. As a society we can't keep up. That rapid change creates less stability, not more.
How many have the time to stop and smell the roses?

Liberal teachings begin in 1st grade now. Have you helped a child with homework lately? It's troubling....what they are teaching the kids. The roundabouts in the city traffic take a toll on me...
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

WELFARE. It is destroying the family. Rewarding irresponsible behavior and encouraging immature teens to remain immature.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Both parents working. Kids are being raised now by the public almost from birth. As soon as Mom's maternity leave runs out, the kid is tossed into daycare, where they stay until they are old enough to get into preschool at 3 or 4. And at the times the kids actually are at home, the parents aren't raising them, they let video games, TV and the Internet baby sit them while they're doing cooking, cleaning, tv watching, whatever.
Single parent homes, about the same deal, but Mom or Dad have even less time to spend with the kids.
I was raised in the 80s and 90s. Single parent homes were pretty rare in my rural area then, and so was 2 working parents. Sometimes moms would go back to work once the kids got to be teen aged. I was raised in a single parent home from the time I was 5... BUT and it's a big but, my mom had a pretty good support system in place. My Dad stayed in my life and visited me 3 times a week, Monday and Wednesday evenings and most of the day Saturday, giving my mom the chance to do things like catch up on housework, laundry, baking, etc. In addition, my mom's parents lived right next door to us, I could run over there anytime I wanted, and they were happy to watch me anytime my mom needed them to.
Yes I watched tv and played video games, but being an only child, most of the time my mom was right there watching tv or playing the games with me. I'd help her cook or bake, had a list of chores to do for a small allowance, she'd help me with my homework, etc. At my grandparents, I liked helping in the garden, watching my grandfather work on stuff in the garage, and loved reading their old encyclopedia set, where I learned about everything from wars, to indians, to diseases. I was dragged to church on a regular basis, and read to from the bible by pretty much everyone, lol.
In other words, I was raised by family, not by electronics and school systems. I think the years from birth through 10 years old are the most important, and families today spend far too little time raising their children during those years.

Our population growth and the ability of news to spread from coast to coast in the blink of an eye. An example is the tide pod eating. Years ago kids still did stupid stuff, it stayed localized and the death of an idiot or two didn't go across the country on Internet news. Now with Internet the idiots feed off each other. Years ago idiots played in the dirt with a stick until the Reaper and Darwin collected them, now they encourage other idiots to eat tide pods hundreds of miles away. All in all I believe we live in a good place, our society is OK and we are lucky enough to inhabit earth at a time when it is very very easy to stay alive. No large wars or famine, today. Try stay positive. Finn’s really going to be PO’d when he finds whoever’s hacked his computer.
