Is society screwing us up?
Does anybody else feel like society is making us a bunch of pansies? I feel like when they say, "Its OK to be "special" or "different" it just turns softens us? I feel like all the media attention they give to people who commit suicide and stuff just makes more people feel like its ok to commit suicide. This did not happen 50 years ago-you toughened up and matured. Also, our morals are being screwed with. All the media attention and stuff about the recent shootings will only result in more shootings because of all the attention. In the past, this didn't happen because of common decency. Then, everybody freaks out because OMG GUNZ R BAD GUIZ!!! Guns didn't cause problems like this until recently and are an important part of our heritage. If the U.S. ever needs to have a draft, we will have a bunch of candy-asses defending us. Where is class, honor, and integrity. WE ARE BASICALLY BEING TOLD IT IS OK TO BE MEDIOCRE. I just feel like the next generation will be the downfall of America because of crap like this. Does anyone else feel like this or am I the only one?
tl;dr: Do you feel the society and the govt. of today will be our downfall?
Another detail is the fact that our judicial system is too easy on people. If you murder someone, you can get as little as 10 years in prison. In our past, we just executed the murderers and everyone was happy. But, apparently that is not fair now. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Why don't we do this?
I get what you are saying, but I was wondering if people agree with some of the points that I made or is it just me?
Also, welfare for those who can work but choose not too. Should hardworking people have to pay for those lazy bums?
Thanks guitarrman and cliftonphotographer, that is what I wanted to hear. When a conversation gets on a topic like this and i voice this opinion, i dont know how many people agree with me. i just wasnt sure if other people thought this or it was just me
Thanks for all the good answers
I cant just pick one so im going to let it go to voting

I completely agree about the media being to blame for the shootings!! How about we change the headlines from:
Madman kills 14 in school rampage,children run for cover!
To
Little whiny cry baby pansy wets self as he pathetically hides behind a gun and murders innocent great people!
How many people want THAT to be the headline they are remembered by!!

Halteringon can methotimethodically innocent children and other people. Go tthrough great detail with how they will do it and then be declared innocent do to insanity, society as we not only know it but have allowed through our silence and compliance has developed a group consciousness that has a distorted sence of justice and an irrational conclusion in judgement that shields the cold intelligence from being seen as it really is. Evil. It is getting redefined as a sickness sheltered from the reckoning that it deserves. Notice how that one guy who shot a bunch of people and dyed his hair red and sits with his eyes as wide as he can and makes these faces as if he doesn't have a clue with what he did was wrong. This guy knew exactly what he was doing. He knew how to stop for red lights and say thankyou to people and pay for his guns with real money. But the minute he got caught, we are all supposed to see him as a nut who mis beyound punishment. WRONG!!

You are definitely intelligent for noticing. I like to call the general population, 'sheep' because it is EXACTLY what they are. Crazy things happen like kids getting molested in their family and nobody screams and raises hell until the bad guy really gets what he has coming. Twice, I had drug dealers move into my neighborhood. Twice I called the narcotics agency. Twice they harrassed the drug dealers into moving out and busted them eventually. ALL IT TOOK was those informative phone calls. NOBODY does this!
If you research the illuminati on youtube, you'll see most of what you are saying is actually programmed into our music, all media, banking...society. It is not okay to do the things you stated. I agree and appreciate the thinking you are doing. You are standing out from literally probably a million people. I hope you use your power for good and not evil my friend.
Good mind!

Society is not screwing us up. We are screwing up society. We all have free will and society will either suffer or benefit from the consequences. If you want to change things, start by being an example to others.

WE are society. In order to change the bad things, we must first change ourselves.
I don't know if that made sense or not but...
