"Gimme a break.. I'm so sick of hearing how the olden day were so good. Ok, they were great if you like world wars, racism, Jim Crow, flu pandemics, lynchings, polio, measles, mumps, smallpox and pickled pig's feet. "

Do you watch the news? And what does illness have to do with the condition and morals of society as we know it?

War? Read the Bible.. it clearly says we will have "wars and rumors of wars".
And the only reason your not concerned to much now is because Korea, China, Iran, etc has not developed the ignorance and gonads that the US has.

Racism? You keeping track of whats going on in the World? Its certainly not getting better.

Jim who? Can't say that I know him. If your looking for bad guys check the news for the guy that raped that 9 year old girl a few days ago.

Keeping it simple.. the condition of the world is not getting better. We are simply ok with things because "this" is all we know. (we meaning a younger generation)
