What do you think are the biggest problems affecting our society today, whether they be social, political, economic or otherwise? Why?
Personally I vote for
Impatience. People expect instant gratification.

P.S. I could elaborate but I'm too lazy to type it all out.

Moral character. Too many are lacking in empathy, courage, fortitude, honesty, loyalty. Too many exhibit bad behaviors of all types. Too many are addicted by bad habits. Too many are unwilling to work to improve themselves. Too many are dependent on too few.

Exactly. They won't acknowledge that people can control their bad behavior. We can exert control over whether or not we act on sexual impulses...we can learn to turn our focus away from ourselves and what we, personally, WANT and learn to moderate our thought and behavior in order to improve our character.

Who determines whats bad and whats not? Is being gay bad? Is being a cross dresser bad? How about owning a gun so you can kill someone? Is that bad or only bad for certain people?

Generally speaking, your faith will tell you what's bad and what isn't..combined with normal intelligence and a degree of introspection and repentance when it comes to identifying your own sins, mankind has been well served by established religion.

Mankind has not been well served by established religion. Look at the Catholic cult and the priest pedophiles, the inquisition and so on. Mankind has been served well by faith...not religion. Religion has served man as a tool for hate, war and greed.

Is being gay bad? no.

You are confused by the term "being" and the term "exhibiting."

How about owning a gun so you can kill someone? no

Owning a thing so to can perform an action is not bad. You are confused by the term "owning" to perform an action that may in fact be necessary, just, and legal and murdering people in cold blood. IOW you are pushing a false straw-man argument typically made by folks on the left.

Your faith? As in religion? Thats pretty silly. Some religions say its ok to chop your head off. How do you measure normal intelligence? No one has come up with a good way since no one is qualified to determine what intelligence is. Introspection is simply a by product of social conditioning and guilt. I dont see a solid answer to my question in your post.

"Everyone" has as many different opinions as people on the planet. Who exactly makes the determination of what is good or bad?

No I am encompassing the action with the state of being. Is acting outing out your natural desire to be gay bad?

So are you claiming that "owning" child porn is not bad?

You can report me till the cows come home. My point is your posts are nonsensical. You don't appear to understand what people say, yet you post piles of garbage all over the place.

All while claiming that people say things they don't say. You shouldn't be in here.

You asked, who makes the determination of what is good or bad? I told you that everyone does.
In response, you asked who exactly makes the determination of what is good or bad? In response I'm telling you that everyone does. I'm not sure what part of everyone having independent thought is confusing.

Action is not the same as state. So, conflating, or as you say "encompassing" action in general with state in general has no meaningful context.

You ask, "is acting outing out your natural desire to be gay bad?" Not to me it isn't. Not in general. However, if a male teacher reaches down and grabs his students member, well I would argue that is pretty dang bad. So it really depends on the action your are talking about, no?

Yep, but 'progress' is not necessarily a good thing. Hitler made great progress in exterminating all the Jews. Islamo extremist terrorist have made great progress in changing the culture of people they don't like.

And, Progressives have made great progress in creating huge blocks of entitlement dependent people. Such 'progress', in its broadest sense, is the greatest problem facing America today.
