What to you is the most prominent sign of the moral decay of society? or are things better?

1. A lack of parenting and discipline. A child needs to hear the word 'no' and have boundaries. Letting you child do whatever they want is only going to harm them in the end.\n\n2. A lack of personal responsibility. For example, all the ridiculous lawsuits - like the woman who spilled hot coffee on herself and sued McDonald's. It's a cheap ploy to get quick cash and it's nothing but pure greed. \n\n3. Selfishness. I think this goes along with the lack of personal responsibility. We're too busy being wrapped up in our own lives and being self-absorbed that rarely do we see acts of genuine kindness or altruism.\n\nIn my opinion, those are the three main signs of moral decaying society - however, I don't think society is completely doomed or anything. Every generation has, and will have, problems; I think it's a matter of changing attitudes and working for the good of everyone, rather than 'me, me, me'. :)

A philosopher from the 1800's said, Soren Kierkegaard, said that the nicer you are, the more that some people will despise you.  Kind of like the bigger the good, the bigger evil is attracted to it and then repelled by it.  \n\nBeing good may not always benefit you, but it will always benefit at least one other, so that makes it all worth it.

An infuriating paradox, isn't it? Immorality has secured many parts of the world, but not all. \nContrary to popular belief, morality is making a comeback. We have the technology age to thank for this. The Information Age has turned the tables on people who formerly relied on people not finding out. If you've kept track of politicians across the nation, more and more are being uncovered for this or that political infraction. Crooked politicians are finding it harder and harder to survive. More and more states and municipalities are adopting laws and policies outlining a code of conduct.\nI truly believe that were it not for the moral man, these shifts in ethics and accountability would not have begun. \nDon't get caught up in the drama of movie making. Remember, the producers will do anything to grasp your attention. Flowery quotes can only seem to live in fictional backdrops these days. As long as each of us does their part in preserving morality, I think moral man will survive.

I wouldn't say "down the toilet," but I would definitely say as a society, we are less moral than we were 50 years ago.  God is the source of morality.  As more people turn away from God, more people have an empty pit in their souls, which they fill with immorality.

By most reports (including yours) it appears to be getting worse.\n\nHowever,you have the solution. Let's just work together to promote it, OK?\n\nI would like to share a radical idea with you. Let's no longer refer to ourselves as members of the human race. For being human implies that we have imperfection in the eyes of others (you know, "I'm only human, born to make mistakes"). \n\nThe phrase "Human Family" seems like an oxymoron these days with so much division and emphasis on differences.\n\nLet's all get along. And as you sorta said, Love ourselves!\n\nPeace.

Morality and ethics are not something handed down from On High-- although some pretend it is-- morality and ethics are socially produced.  Basically, social morlaity is that which enhanches the survival of Each and All.  No reference to supernatural decrees is necessary.

Self righteousness implies moral superiority and as such it is my belief that this is a human trait that crosses political boundaries but is particular to people and groups that exhibit pathological hatreds. \nPersonally, my morals are neither superior nor inferior to anyone else's. They are mine and mine alone. Finally, I would ask that if a person is going to make rational decisions that they should know how to think for themselves.

This is a symptom of a national disease. That disease is apathy. There is a value assigned to all thing according to rarity. Objects, beauty, the quality of life, even relationships. The more you have of something, or the less you had to work to get it, the less value you attache to it. This isn't a bad thing, it is completely natural. In nature there is competition and typically, the stuff that life needs to continue living, will be the stuff that is hard to find.\nAs a generation of Americans without any great war or great tagedy to scare us into caring about the things we have, we care very little about the luxuries we possess, the freedoms we enjoy, and in turn we run everything we have into the ground. We are apathetic to how our great government is run and don't even pay attension when the corperations take over and start wittleing away our freedoms. We are apethitic to each other and the happiness of our neighbors so we drive like selfish pricks, or we lie, or we otherwise treat eachother like crap. We do this because there has been no hardship big enough in any of our lives to teach us the real value of things. The real value of forming a brotherhood with our fellow Americans and doing good for goodness' sake. Also this process is what allows us to not be interested in how the defination of freedom is being changed. We have freedom taken away bit by bit. In increments so small it looks harmless. But eventualy we will all look up and realize that whatever isn't defined by the law is ilegal. This is fascism. It is a shame. This is a cycle that has been evedent throughout the history of Man. \n1) Things are awefull\n2) War against hardship to make life good\n3) Happiness and prosperity for 3-4 generations\n4) Decline\n5) War, etc.\nThis is sad, but it is the way things work. And it continues to happen because most people don't realize that this is the cycle. And until there is a great catastrophy to make us care about the things we have it will continue to decay.

Yes i agree that the world will be a better place is 90% of its population dies. Dieing not in the physical sense of the word but a much deeper meaning, the death of ego's, stereotypes, prejudices, beliefs and complexes. Death of adult thoughts and springing back to the childlike innocence and clarity

There really seems to be no universal moral code that applies to the younger folks today.  I'm sad to say that I think most young folks do whatever feels right for them at the moment.  There is no concern about the impact on society or on others.

I concur.  I feel like adherence to a prescribed moral principle removes personal responsibility.  I've felt that way (only perhaps less eloquent!) since I was eight.  If you are a good person because you adhere to the Bible / church values unquestioningly, you aren't actually a good person.  You are only truly good if you are the person choosing your own behavior.  I think fundamentally it boils down to manners - in greater or lesser dimensions.

I've noticed this all over not just in movie theaters, it has brought down society and civilization in general. I hope one day we fix it so our children don't have to tolerate it also. Things haven't always been like this it started about 15 years ago and seems to be getting worse.

Take a good look at the world.  100 years ago it was a completely different earth than the one we currently occupy.  Sex and violence have replaced morality, and it's only going to get worse over time.  If I had to live without faith that the earth would be restored and that justice would prevail in the end, I wouldn't want to wake up in the morning.  My faith keeps me going in the face of adversity, and that is enough for me.

Absolute corruption of morals, values, beliefs, etc...  The forced feeding of liberal ideas to very influenceable young minds.  "It's OK to be a fag", "Christians are idiots", "All white men are evil".  F--- the media.
