I can't say anything negative about that, it's a good thing!MY values and ethics didn't come from me, they came from being drilled into me by the military.

Ceceile....you need to get off your fucking high horse and get back on planet earth.
Your morals are unimportant to me or anyone else.....I have ethics and I know what is right and what is wrong...other than that you can shove your morality that cares about yourself and no one else but yourself...where the sun does not shine.
Many people agree that we are in a period of moral decline. When and why do you think it started?
Many people agree that we are in a period of moral decline. When and why do you think it started? The Enlightenment, Rationalism, Science, the Industrial Revolution, the Rise of Nationalism, the Jazz Age, the decline of the Nuclear Family, the Counterculture, the Clinton Presidency, etc. What started the undermining of religion in Western Society, or has it not started yet? Has our morality actually been ever increasing after giving women's suffrage and
I was personally taught that the decline started in the late 18th to early 19th centuries. People had started to look to science for solutions they couldn't find in the Bible, leaving the Bible to be more of a cultural identity than a guidebook anymore. Then the rise of nationalism changed the ingroup/outgroup for cultural identity to the Nation instead of Religion, and the social problems from the Industrial Revolution made many people lose faith in a loving God.
My response to you is the same as it was before: Grow up, Junior. If I wanted to talk to naive little children, I'd go have a political discussion with my 13-year-old. At least he's articulate, bright, and thought-provoking.
Oh, and if my morals were really so "unimportant" to you, little one, you wouldn't be responding on a thread called "The Decline in Morality", let alone getting your little Underoos into such a wad.
Look folks the basic premise of this thread is complete nonsense.
We are less moral than we were in the past?!
Don't you people know any fucking history?

Ah the first home for the small minded and petty (and usually religious high and mighty folks)....personal attacks on those who disagree..how sad.
Jesus must be turning in his grave at the antics of his followers....Whats the line....Do not judge.....seems like too many of you manage to miss that section of the bible.
When people start questioning moral decline and feeling some people are morally inferior to them is when you get such events as the Salem Witch Trials. They try to find a scapegoat and feel the need to try and control the masses.
And as for the beginning of moral decline, it started with the first humans!
Salem was growing, with the people in the urban area not turning to the church as much as the people in rural area/outer areas of Salem. The church was trying to control the people and needed a reason to put fear in them.Oh, yeah, the Salem Witch Trials were all about trying to scapegoat people for moral inferiority. It didn't have ANYTHING to do with the very genuine fear people had that they were being beset by evil, malevolent supernatural powers.
It's always so productive to apply modern beliefs and sensibilities to the past.

Blah blah blah. Same answer, boy.
The Christian people of Salem were just following what the Bible said.
Witches were to be executed.
What's wrong with that?
exactlyGood thing Yeshua didn't show up in Salem during that time.
He would have been branded a warlock..........
Exodus 22:18 Do not allow a sorceress to live. (same as a witch)as well as a reference stating that they were to be executed?

There is also the theory they ergots which is from wheat and can cause such side effects similar to shrooming!
