"It is and always has been the natural state of mankind."

As Solomon said, "there is nothing new under the sun." And while that is true, we are always finding ways to put new twists on old sins. It has never been flaunted so publicly before nor have people been so openly shameless....Nully and Prentice don't count. Besides, I don't think funkling falls under the 7 biggies.

It has never been flaunted so publicly before nor have people been so openly shameless

Oh, I think people have always been willing to be this openly shameless, they were just lacking:
Printing / Cameras / Radio / TV / Movies / Internet
to give them the oportunity

Moses' people partying when he presented the 10 commandments were depraved in the open right in front of God, Moses and everybody.
The Roman Empire under Nero was a bloodthirsty, sadistic homosexual CESSPOOL of excess - America today is far less depraved than man has been in many other times in human history, both BC and AD.
