Sadly, the world is regressing.  The use of the internet, cell phones, DVD players in cars, etc. has caused us to become much more detached from our friends and family.  There is much less personal interaction anymore.  I don't think technology is ALL bad...of course you can meet new people online, or find out new info in an instant.  But, overall, the cons are outweighing the pros at this point.\n\nWe are soooo reliant on oil and electricity that we are going back to making enemies with MOST of the world.  More countries (Iran, N. Korea) have nuclear capabilities and are much more likely to use them than any countries in the past.  There are more extreme terrorists who can't be caught, less human intelligence to stop the terrorists, and our own coutnry's military is very diminished at this point.\n\nDespite MOSTLY overcoming years of racism and racial tension, things seem to be getting worse in that area again, with all the immigration debates/protests.  \n\nMost of the world's population live in 3rd world countries...diseases are widespread.  Despite working on the AIDS problem for 20+ years, we still do not have a cure or vaccine.  \n\nPeople don't think there's anything wrong with deteriorating morals...swearing is commonplace now, nudity on TV/movies is no big deal...violence is everywhere.  More than 50% of marriages end in divorce.  We are quickly depleting our natural resources.  the polar ice caps are melting.  Nature is becoming more extreme thanks to global warming.  Certain animals are dying out.  \n\nI have an advanced degree, have worked hard all my life, and still cannot afford to buy my own house.  In the 50s, most families owned houses and that was without the wife working!  Now I can't own my own house despite all my hard work and education.  This country...and the world are going to hell in a handbasket, and anyone who doesn't think so, hasn't lived long enough or looked around!

They are doing a lot of good. Are they scaring you? People love them and they are growing all nationalities have joined. What is your problem with those who have done nothing but good within the law. Are you a law breaker?

No the ideas didn't die. Some people still cling to them. There is now going to be a better balance and exchange of ideas. That is healthy for everyone.

Actually, our community seems to be turning around. We were once known as the meth manufacturing capitol of the world, with weekly killings and bodies discovered nearly every morning on SOME local street. But over the last ten years, our local churches have gotten together, and brought the community at least a little closer together. I can't really say if it was the prayer or the change in elected officials in the nearest town, but crime has indeed slowed down, and the people seem to smile more.

I thought all those who left to work here would be welcomed as heros when they returned home.  But from what I hear that's not  the case.  Millions have left which means more open space, more food, water, jobs and less crime for those who remained.   One Mexican after being deported returned home, was told by his fellowman that he wasn't welcome, they feared he'd take their job.   Does that sound familiar?  He said he'd head for China.

Because there are still many wise people left in the world.

You could find good and caring people anywhere, actually. It's just hard to predict exactly where you'll meet such people, though. It's usually a surprise to me when someone is caring, because I never expect it.

They are becoming pariahs to all cultures.  It is the responsibility for all peoples to turn them into authorities until they have no safe place to stay.  Eventually they will disappear.

there are really selfish people in the world today. I do believe in taking care of the ones around you before anyone else. Reality check do people keep updated on disaters and over seas missions? if so are they true. It's just the waty the world is today. More people need to turn their eyes back on their creator Lord God Almighty. What if people had to live back in those days,they wouldn't make it.

Nope.\nTo see people, period, coming together is a great thing. It's changed so much over the past few decades...and will continue too. It's a beautiful thing!

Yes there is a terrible decline in behavior, manners and rudness!  My feeling is that people have become more and more selfish with each generation.   There is a desperate lack of consideration for anyone but yourself.  Things like road rage, talking on your cell phone in the movie theater, cutting in line ahead of others, tell people around you that you think you are more important than anyone else around and just put up with it because you're allowed to be rude.  But god forbid someone should do any of those things to you!  Sorry to use the word you so much.  Not directed at anyone in particular, hahaha.

Good guys are everywhere.  You just have to look for him in different places.  And yes, I believe there's someone for everybody.
