What the hell happened?

The general population has gotten so stupid. I was raised in a time when that sort of thing was not tolerated. I was taught to work had and well or be fired. I was raised in a world where if children misbehaved, parents and other authority figures could and were encourage to spank said children. We were to obey our parent and authority figures and not talk back. People were to carry themselves with dignity and respect. Vows were kept and your word was your bond. Now everything is bass ackwards and stupidity reigns supreme. I would like to good to those days when things made more sense or die. I hate living in this rotten plain of existance. I pray for death all the time.
