the U.S. is destined to become the very lowest class society in the entire galaxy and everyone who takes a drive anywhere knows this.

The explaination is simple. 10 kids being born from one girl and there's no dad there and no money for anything, and those kids start having kids at 14. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to wonder what happens next.

don't even SUGGEST it's getting better because it's not. I can't go anywhere without seeing someone who looks "ghetto". These types now dominate society yet have and OWN nothing. THAT is the future of the U.S. and THAT is hilarious because it's true.

These things always hit hard. What is wrong people ask, just my thought but I believe that parents now days are afraid to "hurt" their kids so they give them everything they want without any thought of making the children "earn" things. If you teach them RESPECT and allow them to learn how to earn things they will become better people and respect other people they meet. Example: Kid is throwing a fit in store, mother gives kid what ever they want just to shut them up. What really just happened was she "rewarded" this child for being bad and this child grows up thinking that I will get what ever I want by throwing fits. Example #2: kid is throwing fit in store. Mother ignors child and finishes shopping, takes brat to the car and gives child nothing. Tells child if they behave next time, child may get a snack for being good. Child learns must be good to be rewarded. Grows up to respect themself and others.
Granted, this is just examples but you get the point, too many people are rewarding their children for being bad and this must stop. We need to be able to disipline our children when they act out with out being afraid of being charged with child abuse. I don't mean to beat the shit out of your kids but to be able to make them follow rules and directions in life, what ever it takes. Just my 2 cents.

I try to look at this each day - because the news does suck! http://www.happynews.com/

I do think it's getting worse though - sad, but true IMO. Yes, i agree it starts with the parents/home environment.

In your #1 example above, I can see angry onlookers calling CPS and the child winning out. These days, kids got your cornered if they're in the know ;( Sad...

Sounds like something I said hit home with you personally. If so, I apologize.
You're right, I should try to be more positive and not allow a few bad apples ruin it.

you know, if every idea was a "tin-foil hat" idea, we wouldn't have a computer smaller than a deck of cards right now or the internet. trust me any tin-foil-hat idea that is spoken right now, will become real soon enough, or already has but it's not for the public. you should already know that.

I'm so sorry to hear that, especially for the families. It hits hard when it's someone you know and see regularly. I just read that the girlfriend's ex-boyfriend has been charged.

What's wrong with the world has been wrong with the world for a long time. 37 years ago my younger brother was murdered along with his roommate at college. 8 years ago my father-in-law was murdered by an "angel of death" nurse serial killer while in the hospital for a minor medical problem. Unfortunately it happens every day.

But there are a lot of decent people in the world. I try to keep my focus on the good.
