    No the world hasn't gone mad it is just a repercussion to stupid people breeding. Parents that don't care for the child and raise them correctly end up with offspring that think the world owes them something, and they should get paid for doing nothing, and when this don't happen they turn into drains on our society in almost every way possible, and with more and more people coming into the world the problem is bound to propagate its self.

    I think things were much worse in the middle ages. However, since we know how capable of cruelty the human is, we should be ever vigilant of how society behaves. People talk about 'My rights - My rights'. The only rights we have are the ones bestowed on us by the government of the day. Vote carefully - if you HAVE a vote.

    today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for

    parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as

    if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is

    foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest

    and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress."
