Your opinion on society

[Hellion]

I myself have very little respect for most of society and what it has become.Unfortunately it has become full of hate and apathy, here is the question.

Do you like society?.or

Do you dispise it,for what it has become?

Yes,IMO ripping on society is one of my favorite past times,I have very little respect for most humans,because most if them disgust me.

Your own opinions on today's society.

I try not to generalize all of society into one black and white, love and hate, type of thing.... after all I am part of society, and so are we all.

Hard to say. I find some scum to be entertaining. Like that chick who stole someone's car last week and then claimed he was a werewolf. Wrong...yes...but still deserving of a podcast

It disturbs me sometimes to see how things are trending with people. As generations of younger people who were raised by the television set, received no discipline, and given in to by their parents in order to shut them up are becoming young adults--I see a lot of self important, self-centered, apathetic, self entitled pigs who act as though they needn't do a day of serious work and expect to be handed everything they want. They walk over anyone in their way, care for none but themselves, and show an astonishing amount of willful ignorance about the world around them. In this age of small-world technology, we should be more aware and educated than ever.

I very seriously fear for the future.

That said, there are a few really cool folks who have still managed to parent some wonderful little people. They give me hope, even if they are in the minority.

you are now aware of the fact that you are reading this in his voice.

Also, I see many dysfunctions in society. Though it is easy to be despised for its dysfunctions, and quite a burden on my own way of life, I have learned that it should be pitied rather than despised. Most that push out a negative influence do not even realize the damage they do to others, and most importantly, the damage they do to themselves. I have tried helping people, that failed. I have then turned and attacked them, that has failed. I now just sit back and mind my own business, and let them carry on their own path of self dysfunction. I no longer worry about what they do, or what I can't control. I focus on what I CAN control, my own life. I do what I can to keep my life in order, and disallow those who would challenge my authority to keep order in my life to stay in my life. At least that way, when dealing with the everyday grime of society such as, intolerance, aggressive driving, rude customers, snotty coworkers, ect., I at least have my own sanctuary at home, and my own social network that plays by the same rules and principals of respect and tolerance.

Ah my friends and I were talking about this around a bonfire last night. It is not so much that fact that we hate society and that it sucks...considering we are a part of it...its just that some elements have seem to have gone astray if that makes any sense.

We believe that in current times we have lost more touch with the past that in previous generations. It is true that every generation takes parts of the old while at the same time shucking off parts that they don't like or want. It seems to us that not only have we tossed off much of what past generations had...we have also tried to wipe those things from out memory or maybe we have just forgotten. We focused on many current issues and how the same exact headlines we have to day are merely repeats of headlines of old but somehow we feel today that we are the only victims. Society doesn't just include the locals it includes the whole world but for some reason, probably because of the media, we feel that we are cut off. We even looked at the military aspect in society and it seems that after WW2 there was a wicked turnabout dealing with the military that has had nasty results since then...even old vietnam vets have said that they got more respect that the average soldier today.

All in all I think society is the same as it always has been...its made from the human element so you can expect it to be good and bad since it bounces all over the spectrum. One thing I do think is wrong is that society seems more docile that in previous times although I can only speculate since I was not alive in previous times. No I am not going to say that society is full of sheep...however it does seem like society today would give up almost anything to someone that makes a "promise" to take care of them or make things easier...

I also think that if you look at society in America there is WAY too much self-hatred going on...it is completely ridiculous and really has no basis when you look closely at the weak comparisons. We have made an art out of finding the odd behavior of a small group of individuals and turning it into what "all" of society is like...I fear that imagination has run off the the true picture of society which in all reality doesn't exist as it would be too difficult for anyone to paint.

(I think this may have been mentioned in this thread before, maybe not directly)

But

I think every generation has felt this way about society.

Yeah that pretty much explains it all. If you really took everything apart and into perspective, a daunting task and probably impossible, you would probably find differences...but not many and probably not anything that changes much.
