I am reminded of my Dad, who in his later years would go to McDonald's and meet up with 3-4 older men who would basically talk about how everything is going to H.  And yet, somehow, most stuff muddles along anyway.

Yup it's remarkable how everything in this country has been going to H in a handbasket for the past 75 years, and yet people in this country are living at a higher standard than ever before.

It's possible that people are myopic morons that love to scream into echo chambers.

Just 75 years?

Quotes compiled by The Guardian

"We live in a decaying age. Young people no longer respect their parents. They are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit taverns and have no self-control."

-Inscription on an Egyptian tomb from ~4000 BC

"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets, inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?"

-Plato, 4th Century BC

"The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint ... As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behaviour and dress."


-Peter the Hermit 1274 AD

I was just trying to get in some coverage of CD's dad since that was the subject at hand, but sure, you could also say, "since the dawn of time."

I think it true, as one ages, one often starts to think Things are going to H, the young people today are awful.  Memories are short.

I suspect most here think CFB is being degraded, and I agree to an extent, but I wonder how much of that reflects our ages.  Maybe it's not THAT bad.

Maybe it's worse.
