In 67 my hair was in a ponytail... I wore a pow bracelet of a pilot later killed by the vc...
Morality was in my face at Woodstock two years later... yasgurs farm was 45 minutes from our place... it took a day to get there... two hours to see morality and a day to return home
I never looked back
The people I looked up to.. my parents.. some of my teachers.. showed me what a moral life was... and what being a role model to others was.. and more importantly why...which innately just felt right to me... and one of the reasons I became a policeman
If you read what people seek today on city data you would come away with the idea that seeking a conscious and moral reflective life is gone in America... I say.. no.. its up to the teachers to impart ideas that will keep our country on a path of behaviors that will make it flourish... sadly.. I do see a downturn with selfishness and hedonism in the forefront of many peoples existence... as if they lack the consciousness to know what is healthy and sustainable to America....
I don't know... probably it was in flux like we are today.. we had drugs ..we had the be in gen.. we had war tearing the country apart... I don't think the damage was as pervasive as it is today
God bless.. America.... are we leaving it better than we found it today? I think perhaps not... until there is a shift from selfishness to selflessness
The German people are just as much to blaim as Hitler himself.
he was elected by them, they supported him and his policies.
He was certainly elected, but not everyone voted for him. And he certainly didn't run through what was happening inside the concentration camps. I find it hard to believe the German people would support such atrocious things. What makes me say this? Who said a word when FDR was rounding up Japanese Americans? We supported that policy. The only difference is FDR didn't order them killed, but if he had, the people of the United States would have been the last to know.
You also didn't answer my question. What takes precedence? The action of the state or the action of the people, and how did you decide which is more important?
He was certainly elected, but not everyone voted for him.
so 43.91% of the voters are pure evil
and much of the other voters were also evil

they knew what was happening and did nothing, we even knew in America what was happening
December 2, 1942
NEW YORK (Dec. 1)
Jews throughout the United States, Canada and Latin America will join with the Jews in other democratic lands tomorrow in a universal Day of Mourning for millions of Jewish Victims of Nazi brutality. About 500,000 Jewish workers in factories in the Metropolitan area of New York will stop work for ten minutes at 10 A.M. tomorrow, while Jewish firms will be closed for one hour between 4 and 5 P.M.
Hundreds of synagogues in every section of the country will hold special prayers and memorial services. Participating in these services will be representatives of the Orthodox, Reform and Conservative rabbinates. A memorial service will be broadcast at 4,30 tomorrow afternoon over the facilities of the Blue Network. This service, which will be under the auspices of leading American Jewish organizations, including the American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress, B’nai B’rith, Synagogue Council of America, Union of Orthodox Rabbis and others, was arranged after these groups received news that almost 2,000,000 Jews have been killed by the Nazis in Europe and that the remaining five million are threatened with death by December 31, 1942.
Jim Crow attitudes were still prevalent in the South in 67. We're far more moral now.
The way I see it, some things have changed, some things have not changed. The difference is is about what has changed. Denying people important freedoms is certainly immoral, not to mention unconstitutional.
The question is improperly formulated.
Since 1933, Americans have embraced collectivism, an abomination, thus cannot be considered "moral." (When government can "take" from one to "give" to another, under threat, duress, and / or coercion, it's a "benevolent" totalitarian police state.)
All that remains is "obedient" versus "disobedient."
Morality has nothing to do with it.
You know what's really assinine? Suggesting that a country has morals. People have morals, not countries. Assinine OP.
