Society really seems to be getting worse. Every day, there are MORE and MORE people on trial for rape, murder, and incest. Everybody is utterly intolerant of other beliefs, suicides are on the rise, narcissism is rampant. People seem to be either incredibly opinionated, or just don't care, as long as they get their fling/15 minutes of fame. It is enough to make one sick. Things may or may not be any worse than they ever have been, but things seem pretty screwed as-is. I dunno, juts ignore my rantings, clinical depression makes you do weird stuff.

Show me the evidence of this being any worse than at any other point in history.

Sounds like you need some guidance. Fortunately, there is one group out there willing to put others ahead of themselves, and absolutely accepting of people of all races and walks of life.

I speak, of course, of the True Buddhist, or 'Truddhists'. As a level 7 laser lotus, I would be happy to extend you membership in my cyberhive, although you would need to provide a small up front payment for maintenance of our server and energon cube supply. With time and financial commitment, you may well ascend to Buddha's meteor and lead humanity into the light!

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleyways and mugs them for loose grammar.

Show me the evidence that you shouldn't do anything to make society a better place, even if society has always been like this.

Confirmation bias much?
Just because "nasty" stories sell media products or you happen across a shocking vid on youtube dosent make your hypothesis true.
Theres a lot of good in the world still, its just good is boring and gets tagged onto the end of the news for that "good factor feel".
Tend to agree with Dreadnote, some more indepth analysis is required I feel.

You do realize murder rates have been heading downwards for several years right?

Did I say we shouldn't? What I was saying was that claiming the degeneration and downfall of society is ridiculous.

It can't be all bad. Violent crime has been on the decline for like, 20 years or something right? I blame video games. Kids today.

Just engage brain before posting; take some time and think things through before writing. It's not like a face-to-face conversation where there is an immediacy in response; on a forum you have time to analyse and cogitate before replying.
