If the world is not more evil then why can't our children and grandchildren play outside without the risk of being taken by some stranger that will do all kinds of evil things to them and then kill them? Huh? As a child of the 60's and 70's.....we could play all day outside without a care in the world. We could walk to school and ride our bikes all over the place, miles from home, and be perfectly fine. And don't try to tell me that it's because there are more people in the world now....not buying it.

This world is sick, demented, twisted and immoral and if you think there is not more evil now than ever before you are seriously fooling yourselves. What can be done about it? Nothing.....it's prophesied and just another sign of the end of days.

This is a malady that exists primarily in the country that boasts of being the most christian country on the planet.
The country that has the highest percentage of its people locked up in prisons, yet claims to be the most christian country on the planet.

very good point.
(and I believe in being fair to all,I just think it was a good point).
It was Billy Graham and he said if God doesn't punish America He will have to apologize for Sodom and Gomorrah.

This is just a small list with many ramifications that lead to even more evil upon the seemingly innocent of this world.
Everything you list has been around forever. Kings and politicial systems were not Gods will, we asked for them, he told us what they happen.

1 Samuel 8:10 Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, "This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle [b] and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day."

It seems worse with 24/7 news.

In the 50's & 60's we were lulled into a false sense of security due to the lack on 24/7 news. Just because you didn't fear it didn't mean it wasn't happening. Child murder rates peaked in the 70's, especially by parents. Gen-X children were the most neglected and hated in the last generational cycle. (just as the Lost Gen were in the 1900's.) People did not start caring again about children until the early 80's. You really need to study this stuff and turn off cable news or stop reading forwarded emails. Read Generations by Strauss and Howe.

The worst school killing happened in the US happened in 1927, 38 kis and 7 adults were killed, 58 hurt. Evil has always been with us. Bath School disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
