What is happening to this world?

Times have definitely changed but it's hard to pinpoint an exact time this happened. I guess gradually so it wasn't so noticeable. Years ago you'd see families playing cards and spending time together and now there are too many more distractions. With tv to start with and then computers. I find even with the kids today they don't play outside like we use to. They don't have the imaginations we use to. So they get so bored easily. Life has just become too busy to make time for the important things. You are right you use to be able to call a company and get a live person. I hate the recordings. The one for our cable company is the most annoying. I hate it. We lack so much these days. Respect is a big one. I wish some things would revert back a few decades.

The world is certainly changing. I think that we are losing perspective on what is really important. We are getting to be to materialistic. Familes are drifting apart and nobody seems to notice or even care. I am afriaid taht it has gone too far to change now.

Sign of the times. Even the way some of these kids dress sluddy. you see this all the time.

I have been wondering this for the last several years but more so this past year. All sorts of bad things are happening that you would never had thought about many years ago. All sorts of different crimes are being commiitted, various natural disasters, serious case of road rage, war crimes, celebrities gone bad, athletes gone bad and whatever else is currently going on. It is sad what this world has become the last few years and do not see things getting any better with Bush as president and the way our government handles things. It is getting harder to find good jobs as many jobs are going to other countries now.

Margie I really do not know what this world is turning into. It is so different from when I was a Child, not even Children now are carefree anymore.

When you look at all this kind of stuff, you will get depressed and wonder what is wrong with the world. I hope you have a better tomorrow where the sun is shinging through the clouds of gloom and life looks a little bit brighter. You can always find bad things around you, but if it far more advantageous to focus on the good things.

so many questions I wish i could answer-- the world has definately changed a lot since I was growing up, it seems so much more sinister and scary then it did then

It seems society is definatly taking a turn for the worst lately. It scares me in a lot of ways when I wonder how the world will be as my child grows up, but I guess more than anything it just makes me extremely sad that human beings seem to be less human and just more being.
