Yeah, yeah, every generation has been labelled as such. Elvis was going to be the death of us all. Didn’t happen.

Yep, somehow, the world has survived millennia of “the worst generation ever.”

Ever think about a long slow death?

I think that the second-oldest examples of writing on Earth - right after public-works accounting records - talk about, “These kids today! Can you believe what they’re up to? It’s the end of Civilization As We Know It!”

I think it's different now. Elvis's gyrations were risque at the time. What is considered risque now is akin to porn. The dirty dancing that simulates sex that is done at kid's dances is an example. The pornographic lyrics of rap/hip hop that are so popular amongst even normal kids are another.

We have a younger generation who have been coddled and large portion of them believe capitalism is bad and socialism is good and more government is the answer. Schools used to be a source of morals and standards and now a good portion of them have been taken over by feel good liberal administrators with a everything is all right attitude. That is unless your Christian,or pro life, or pro traditional marriage etc. We have not lost yet but I worry too much.

You miss the point entirely. We are not remediating the problem with culture anymore. Instead, our universities, pop culture, high culture and society re-enforce the bad mores. With each generation, deviancy is defined down.
