What evil does society allow now that it used to frown on?

The world is in a downward spiral into sin and debauchery. What was socially unacceptable not too many years ago is now the norm. For instance, when I was a young man growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, there was locker room talk amongst guys and the F word was used but we were terrified that we might be overheard. And NEVER would you say it around any girl and the idea of a girl actually using the word wasn’t even considered a possibility. I know that there were people using this word in situations that I hadn’t been exposed to yet. The first time I ever heard a girl use the F word was when I was 17, I joined the Navy and let’s say I made the acquaintance of a hooker. But even then when she used the word it seemed shocking and just wrong. There was almost no graffiti and never using the F word, nobody would ever consider it because there own mother or heavens forbid there grandmother might see it. Today it is word that has taken over vocabulary. People use it a verb a noun an adverb or in most instances the entire sentence. The use of the word highlights the lowering of the intelligence of today’s youth. They no longer have to increase their own vocabularies they just add the F word and let it go at that, and it applies equally to girls as well as guys. I was riding the bus today and a group of young people about 14 years old got on the bus and they were talking loudly and it seemed that almost ever fourth word was the F word. There were several elderly people on board but that didn’t have any effect on the conversation. I have to wonder if these kids use that language around their grandparents and if not how can they justify speaking like that around other peoples grandparents.  \nThere are many other things that have happened to society that probably are worse but the language is the most evident. The downfall of society is something that can be partially blamed on how we have allowed the TV to go almost unchecked. Yes the language is bad and it seems that nowadays everyone is divorced, sleeping around or gay. I lost my mother when I was about 12 in 1964, I can remember thinking several times that I was glad that my mother wasn’t alive to witness the things that are happening on TV. I’m not talking about the shows like sex in the city. I have never seen that, just the title was enough for me to decide not to view it. I am referring to simple things like feminine hygiene commercials. I can my mother being totally flustered when I was found looking in the Kotex box when I was young. I can only imagine how she would have felt about the maxi wings commercials. The downfall of society has to happen, all civilizations have failed. When the Roman Empire was in its last days the government was corrupt, sexual debauchery was rampant and eventually everything collapsed.  The downfall today is happening because we are fast approaching the end of the world as predicted in the Bible, as much as I hate what is happening I look forward to the end of this world, the end can’t come soon enough.\nJust one other point; on the day Jesus was having without a doubt the worst day when he was being whipped and beaten and given the cross to carry to his own crucifixion, he never complained, he knew what he had to do. On that day as Jesus was carrying the cross a woman was saying how bad she felt and Jesus no matter what he was going through knew that worst things were to happen Here it is from Luke: {23:27} And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. {23:28} But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. {23:29} For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breast which never gave suck. {23:30} Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.\nJesus was talking about today when woma

It is nothing new.  It has being going on since time immoreal.  It effects all classes of society, all professions, all religions, the rich and the poor, the young and the old.  It is a curse.  It ruins more people's lives than any other form of abuse.  The do-gooders claim that the perverts are ill and need treatment.  They pay far more attention to them than they do to the victims.  Pedophiles are manipulative, clever and use tactics that can only be imagined.  I will not give any details but suffice is to say that they use language, threats and intimidation on their child victims.  The vast majority of men who have been indecently assaulted when young, seldom if ever tell anyone about their experience.  Most women also keep it 'secret' only informing their husbands when things go wrong much later in life.  Consequently the perverts appear to be 'getting away with it'.  I have worked in law enforcement and everytime the issue of capital punishment arrises (UK), I honestly and sincerely advocate the death penalty for anyone committing a serious sexual offence on a child under the age of ten.  I really mean it.  In my experience, and in many documented cases, they are incapable of being 'cured' of their sick and evil habits.  If an animal was to do what some of these people do to their young, they would be 'put down' immediately. Some of the true stories that I was told by young and indeed elderly people about their experiences as much as fifty years ago would make the strongest of stomachs, retch.  Teachers, doctors, judges, police officers, solicitors, and any other group of people you can imagine are preying on the young of society in every country of the world.  It is a sad, sad state of affairs when we cannot protect them.

To today's society, the most repulsive/unattractive word in the English language seems to be 'Sorry !'.\n...Nobody wants to use it anymore !

Yes in general the world has become worse. Of course there are certain small areas that are "safer", and technologies that have made us "safer" but sometimes they bring their own badness, so generally, it's a lot more dangerous.

Society has a "NORM"... anything that falls outside of that very small box is something to be afraid of.  Hate stems from fear.  Gays and Bisexuals fall outside of the box along with goths, handicaps, people with blue hair, cleft lips, chicks with spikes, people who don't wear shoes, camel toe, albinos, big frizzy hair, lisps or stuttering, and the list goes on...\n\nIt's not that there is anything wrong with these things if you really think about it... it's just an initial reaction and most people don't think beyond it.

Evil is as evil is perceived.  As a counselor, I have found that too many people judge the world from their own character faults.  Those who feel the US is evil fear freedom, because it holds them responsible for their own actions.  They fear democracy because the are so unsure of themselves, they cannot believe that others are capable of making wise choices.  Or, they are just so STUPID as to think THEY know it all and therefore ought to be the ones to rule the earth.  Anyway you look at it, anyone who cannot see how well off we are in this country has a whole lot more problems then we can address here.  What really scares me is the attitude of the news media toward democracy.  It affords them all they have, yet they act as if it is the greatest curse we could offer the world.  Let all the news commentators who feel it is foolish to try to give others the opportunity to govern themselves go to Iran, or North Korea, or Darfor.

I've noticed this all over not just in movie theaters, it has brought down society and civilization in general. I hope one day we fix it so our children don't have to tolerate it also. Things haven't always been like this it started about 15 years ago and seems to be getting worse.

Not really. Now days, something that is illegal is what people in society think is deviant. Basically, if an act goes aganist a norm, to the extent that will have the majority of people react negatively, than that act is considered deviant and a law will be made to prevent people from performing that act. In all nothing's illegal; just what people consider not normal. To find examples, one can explore other cultures way of bathing and compare it with the American way to take a bath.

Because society used to frown upon having children out of wedlock that it used to shame a family if there was such a scandal,(That's why it is such an insult to call someone a bastard) now a days, society is so moral less, there are all sorts of bastards around, but its no Politically Correct to call them that anymore.

My first choise of changing anything in this world would be so there would be no more sickness, ilnesses like aids, cancer, leukemia which are killing so many people daily, including lots of kids. \nMy second choise would be to change the hate betwen nations and people of different races, belives and religions. I think this is probably the most major problem of our sociaty today at global level. It was in the past too but its more today. \n\nI will have to think and choose just 1 of this lol

First, it isn't "money is the source of all evil".  It's "the  love of money is the source of all evil"\nThat, and sex crimes are only two of the many evils.  Genocide comes to mind, as another.  Plus more.

That depends on what it is you want to do.  It is pretty well agreed that child molesting is not a good thing and that you would be harshly judged for doing so.  Etc.  Murder, theft, and so on. There  has to be certain agreed upon standards of conduct in order for any society to survive.
