You think niceness is on the wane eh? :)
Niceosity is always under attack.
Indubitably - as it was, as it shall always be, and we can look to the ancients to see where to place the blame:
What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them? Plato, 4th Century BC
Further, it seems as if some folk's interest in the present subject is directed primarily towards gathering totemic post numbers and then bragging about it afterwards - hopelessly boorish behavior which is nothing if not a further indication of the collapse of civilised society.
