There are a lot of smart people in the US and hard working people. However there are also a lot of people who you really so wonder as to whether they should be alllowed out on theor own without a carer.
Mark Dice's Man on the Street Interviews pretty much involve the latter rather than the former, and videos also take target the lack of knowledge of millennials and snowflakes.
They make for interesting and cringeworthy viewing at the same time.
It's eroding all throughout the world. More and more people just automatically believe whatever their favorite MSM or internet meme tells them. Hardly anyone thinks critically anymore.
Most of the cultural problems the OP is talking about are not new. You could say we're being soft on kids, but back in the day it was normal to get your a** beat by the bully in school, then go home and get your a** beat by your dad. Which is better?
We are being soft on kids, don't you ever see those videos of kids literally having melt downs b/c they don't want to eat, and the parents stand there filming them?
I'm sorry, yes, we had bullies back in the day, but not to the extreme that it is today...
It was ingrained in us, to not break laws....today it isn't. Big, big difference...lack of respect for others,
I mean, mother's running home from work cuz their 14 year old kid came home sick? Are you kidding me?
I stayed home alone, and I'd better not get into trouble, or else...
today, people are talking to each other very badly and their kids are hearing that?

yeah but I live here....and hate seeing this...there are a few of us who remember the way it was....
and no, it wasn't perfect, but, sure wasn't the way it is today....yes, we have more people, but less kids grew up with big mouths...
I mean, just take a look at any thread in here, and watch who comes in and mocks people for their beliefs....a lot of people leave good thoughts, and offer something to threads, but go back and read the digs and hatred....

Speak for yourselves only.

Those issues involve manners, not intellect, and I'm truly sorry that you are having a rough time of it. Close the door to your office, have a cup of tea, take a few deep breaths, and focus on what's in front of you right now. Stress is not good for your health and neither is City-Data when your day is off to a bad start.
No, I'm not desensitized to injustice, cremebrulee, but I have a limited capacity for outrage. And, btw, I'm a SAHM, so I prioritize what's important, my family, my friends, and my health, which is why I will turn off the computer now that I've had my cup of tea to take a quick walk and enjoy the fall weather, make the beds, wash the breakfast dishes, fold a load of laundry, send a gift to a family member who recently had a baby, call my parents to check in on them, and then read a good book for an hour or so before heading off to volunteer at my local school.
so why in the world would you get so upset? I'm not talking to you, I dont' know if your a stay at home mom or a guy? I mean, these issues involve manners, but also involve a certain amount of intellect...and I'm not having a rough time...but I'm sick and tired of everyone just ignoring these issues...
I do the same as you, so what....I've had a few cups of coffee, and I have a limited capacity for breaking the laws, and people taking sides without even knowing what the truth is...
I made my bed, washed the dishes, did a load of laundry, go to work full time for the past, what? since I was 18 years old...so what?
When are people going to start opening their mouths and doing something about these issues, instead of allowing it to happen?

I completely agree with you. I see the difference plain as day. I was just pointing out in the thread that it's happening all over the world so people from other countries can't jump in and say this is a US problem only. Just like Toyman posted, those studies mention environmental factors such as media, internet, etc. THAT is what is causing the decay.

I knew there would be this kind of post. No bud, the entire world is suffering from a population explosion of complete idiots. Wake up and look around and you'll see unless you are one that is affected.
