I created a list of things I believe are wrong with society today and it really depresses me how absolutely screwed the world is right now...
Children have control over their elders.
Discipline is scarce in almost everyone.
Most children know and use every curse word by the age of 5.
People are becoming more selfish and less concerned with other people's well being.
Decrease in morality is seen all around you.
Racism still plays a major role in society today, possibly worse than it's ever been.
Most men don't know how to treat a woman right.
Women don't know what they want.
Men don't know what they have.
Teen mom.
Sex has become a sport.
Oil companies make record billion profits, while the rest of society pays for their mistakes. They also have no legitimate reason to be raising oil prices. There is no shortage on oil.
We spend millions of dollars on commercials asking for others do donate to the countries in need. Where's the logic in that?
The music industry is corrupt and puts out sub-par entertainment that has a massive effect on society today.
Swag.
YOLO.
We focus too much on image and self image.
Sexism.
Hypocrisy.
Government lies.
The Media forms love, sex, men, women, and what society SHOULD be like.
Record-high divorce rates. Marriage means nothing anymore.
Drug abuse.
People judge something before they try it (This has always been around, just thought I should add it).
Rarely do you see someone put themselves in another person's shoes before they demean someone.
Education is a joke.
Common sense is scarce.
Male chauvinism.
Feminism.
Instead of encouraging modesty, intelligence, or kindness, it's Stupidity, sleazyness, selfishness, and rudeness that are glorified.
The war on religion.
Rights are slowly being taken away.
High dependency on technology (God forbid if we don't have our cell phone with us).
You can't escape from advertisements. They're literally all around us.
Facebook. Believe it or not, it plays a big role in the current mood we're all in, it shapes society with all these crappy memes on what life should be like and how we can all relate to certain pictures. These all just form hate and anger towards society.
I hope some of you could agree with me on some of these. Maybe these are large contributors to why so many of us are depressed now-a-days. Society has changed for the worst a lot in just the past decade, and gradually over the past century.

Here are my two cents
-
Notice how you say "A penny for your thoughts" when asking for others opinion, but when you state your own it's your "Two cents". Shows that you think your opinion is better than others.
-
The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Here's an idea, how about instead of sullying your vision with everything negative in the world, you look at what is positive. The human race is progressing at an exponential rate right now. More and more people are getting educated, and continuous efforts have helped better many 3rd world countries and their peoples. The average human has a much larger span of possible life paths than they did a century ago. You're healthy. You have access to the Internet, and you probably live in a 1st world country. You have money in your pocket and many opportunities ahead of you, you just need to ascertain them. If you at the world negatively, you're going to see negative things. Your life is going to be negative and you will become a pessimistic edge lord that will never change anything in the world. If you want to drown yourself in self-pity and then reflect your drowning in your outward opinions of the world, all the power to you, I'm just letting you know, the world will move on without you.

I agree on some points & disagree on others. Honestly, a lot of this comes off like "get off my lawn" yammering. The adults of the '60s said the same thing about their children, about rock 'n roll and free love and all that stuff.

Racism is just ridiculous.

Some I agree with, others like the "racism" one is ridiculous. Its been worse.

Edited by Hwood98: 6/15/2016 11:37:35 AMWell, its the parents fault on the children part you referenced. I have a 11 year old son, myself and my parent's are the only positive influence in his life. He doesnt hear or see shit at my house like he does at his mothers. But he has discipline and respect here. Ive only spanked him twice maybe. And he is a great kid. Its all on how the parents are. Raise the kid as a kid and that you are the parent.

[quote]Sex has become a sport[/quote] ...wat?
-
What the hell am i suppose to do with 2 cents Azula?
-
And one of the main reasons for all this... ...is the internet. Seriously. I think, it really is.
-
I agree with all of these, but can relate to very few. You forgot that childhood is considered a disease known as "ADHD," and parents give their kids pills so they don't have to discipline them as much. I was raised to be independent, was properly disciplined, and encouraged to do the opposite of what you put on your list, which is what more parents should do. They know that they are responsible for me and take extra care to teach me what you are supposed to do, and not what everyone else is doing ATM.

There's nothing wrong with being a teen mum as long as that mother is a good mother age doesn't matter. Some teen mums are way better than the "adults" it depends on the person.

Society hasn't changed. It gas been [i]divided.[/i] thats what I hate. Anything to bring us all together, i would make huge sacrifices and take any opportunites. But what [i]could[/i] bring us all together? ....
-
SEX IS A SPORT??? SIGN ME THE FUСK UP!!! WHERE DO I SIGN??? woah, it's like a natural competitive drive to reproduce or something! :0 also, facebook is still a thing???
-
Though I do rely on my phone (and I do think it is necessary to have), I agree with probably everything on here. Cheers to you for understanding.
-
What about being a kid is a -blam!-ing disease... I meet kids on Xbox in my free time and we have fun, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) but it pisses me off hearing kids get dissed as squeakers all the time. They are young, but isn't that the beauty of it? People need to calm down
-
I know how to treat women. I'm always the nice guy :/
-
You're back
-
I agree with 90% of this.
-
I agree on most except race
-
I agree completely
-
[quote]The war on religion.[/quote] Can you elaborate?
-
"Most men don't know how to treat a woman right" They are treated like a person, are they not? ... Or maybe you're referring to sexists.
-
[quote]children know all the cuss words by age five. [/quote] I would say more like 12, but either way, thats pretty accurate and scary. [spoiler]imagine a 5 year old flipping the bird at you when you walk down the street.[/spoiler]

We don't have 2 cents in canda lol
