DOn't blame hardcore rap. THAT IS THE RESULT! That is the result of this degenerate generation that just past---the babyboomer generation. They're the ones with the free sex, orgies, love, drugs, not bathing, and all kinds of nastiness. They made it with all their killing and wars in the 50-70s. They made this. The current generation just refined it amd marketed it.
Instead of giving for future generations as was the norm, the babyboomers just took and took and took for themselves, leaving us the X and Y-Generation nothing but hardship and marketed decadence form their former years.
Now, these very people are complaining about how bad society is.

Yes, there was. They just put you in an insane asylum back then. And even longer ago, they'd just call you possessed and burn you at the stake.

Why do people resort to Ad hominem attacks?
ADD is the biggest piece of # excuse I've ever heard. It's basically people who are too lazy to live getting some other excuse to f*ck around and get away with doing nothing.

Here's something else causing America to go down the drain. Political Correctness. There's no need for all the damn political correctness in our society. People need to learn how to deal.

ADD is very real. Someone very close to me has it. It is a slight malfunction in the brain. It does not fire right. At least with certain things. For lack of better words.
If you ever bothered to look it up you might know that. You have know idea the frustration people feel,that have ADD. Or the frustration of the people around them.
Do not speak about something you know nothing about.
To the topic,I doubt if just America is slipping. The whole world is. In the middle east you have kids strapping bombs to themselves. Now that is life deteriorating.
Or the hard core sex and prostitution in some European countries.
Its the whole damn world...not just America.

Ok I apologize to American Mad Man, nyeff, and anyone else I may have offended. But you have to agree with me, in most or a lot of cases, lazy kids are diagnosed with ADD way too much. I'm sure there are people out there with actual problems, but a lot of the time parents bring a kid who doesn't feel like paying attention to the doctor and he's diagnosed with ADD and given ritalin when all he has to do is pay more attention. I apologize again, I did not mean to offend. I agree that ADD is a problem for some people, but not all of the people who it is diagnosed to.
