    But there has always been society, so there must be new factors if you want to look for the roots of modern bad behaviour. I think sitcom television can take some blame. People seem to think that being involved in stupid plots and getting one another with witty zingers passes as appropriate interaction because that's what they see on TV. I think there are a lot of other factors, but that's one for now.

    I say its all this damned Rock-N-Roll Heavy Metal music...In the past before all this "Devil" music people were different...But now since all these hooligans started basting their filth....People are cooler than ever...They were boring as hell in the old days...

    To be serious I think it is the way people are raising ... or not raising their children...I remember getting my ass beat when I was doing something wrong..Now kids get Time outs....I say beat their asses...Thats part of being a parent having the right to whip your kids when they are bad, but no one does that anymore...

    I think it's the world in general, look at the net..would any of us be interacting if the web wasn't here? think about it I wouldn't evr know any of you nor would you know me. This world is moving so damn fast..too fast the reality of it is so fast and so redicoulous at times I think our minds are crying for the abilty to run away and not face the very loud clutter music....people are buying SUV's and gas prices are insane.....so many things going on and all signs that some days in this world we just can't handle it....

    People are the way they are, partly because society, part on laws, part on peer pressure and such, part on themselves, and also there are thoes primitive instincts that a lot of people can't seem to ignore, the same instincts that kept us from facing certain death so long ago.

    most people just don't like to think for themselves.
    People are consumers, that's what the media tought them to be.

    Society is evolving faster than ever but I can't buy into that being a negative given the events of he last half century and genuine good that has come from it. It's not perfect but with the civil rights movement really pushing down so many walls it's let people from minorities like myself go farther than my own parents where allowed to. Though even they got to feel and see the effects of it all...truth is as mucha s we change we remain the smae in areas of conflict and division of opinion...we splinter off into groups who can back up what we beleive in and see as correct...

    As a result we sometimes take steps backwards that take all the attention off the advances we;ve made.

    What makes people what they are today you ask?...The past.

    Look at this disaster Stalin caused when he had the state control all the farms...caused a famine and killed off millions before WW2.

    Capitalism has it's faults but it's not as damaging to society as some may think. You have to fight your way for what you want is all. It's not about being completely fair...just fair enough. If one is too fair then the weak are on par with the strong...and as ideal as that sounds it has some major faults...cause after all no one wants the weak of the world to prosper and thrive...

    That breeds destruction.

    I open up the mail and there's a pamphlet in there,
    from Pueblo, Colorado.
    And it's addressed to Bill Jr.
    And it's entitled,
    "Do you know what the queers are doing to our soil?"

    Hmmm... that's the reply from Magick 8 Ball... and they don't lie.
    Do they?!?!

    I have to go with parenting... nothing like that belt across the ass to make you mind your P's and Q's
    and when you get too big for the strap there's always the old man's knuckle sammitch to make you think about mouthing off...
    to him or anyone, ever again.

    Gun control is also to blame... an armed society is a friendly society, it makes you think twice about being an asshole because you never know if that little blue haired lady has a .357 in her handbag, cross her and find out the hard way.

    But then again coming from Muder City (Detroit), mostly the criminals have guns and the citizens go without arms... it's sad when your police department is out gunned by a couple thugs with MAC 10's.

    Overpopulation is a big problem.

    Capitalism wouldn't be an issue, if there were a lot less people, with the same raw resources.
    We could all have what we needed, and just be creative, and invent things, and explore
    the world, ourselves, etc. But we are just in this mad dash to be the one with the most
    of the limited resources in the world. So many people, and all of them want a home,
    a car, a tv, etc...

    Sitcoms, movies, tv, and stuff like that, is just a creative way to keep people happy,
    and keep their minds off the struggle they are in. People want to be distracted.
    It's not just a tool of "the man" to keep people from rebelling.
    People want to be distracted from the state of the world, and their own
    lives...

    No that's covered by 'survival'-- but it does take on a life of it's own..doesn't it?..just as procreation became the kinky game it is now..P.
