Get a grip Joe, every generation says the same thing.

Very true, yet there are some empirical differences. Legalized abortion. Homosexual marriage. 50% divorce rates. Gang violence. Living together outside of marriage as a common and accepted practice. Nudity in "family" films. Explicit content and nudity at public sports events.

These are all events which did not exist 50 years ago.

Consider. The St. Valentines Day Massacre was considered truly horrible because 7 people were gunned down in cold blood in Chicago. Seven people! That would barely make the evening news these days, yet then it was a national story for months and became infamous enough to make it into history books.

Get a grip Joe, every generation says the same thing..

50 years ago my old granny, born in 1880 was saying:
"Lands sake! You young-uns are the most boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, little monsters since your parents back in the '20s!

All these 'existed' in the roaring twenties and the gay nineties, but they weren't discussed in polite company or plastered all over the media.
We operated in those days under what came to be called the 'Victorian compromise'. - Most everything was technically illegal, but in actuality was tolerated in certain areas, - red light districts.
