When did America, go to Hell

North korea is the basement in Hell
(but they have movies)
Cuba is the bathroom in the basement in hell
Haiti is the portapotty in the basement in hell (kinda melted)
(actually it's leaning to one side from the heat and it's nearly full)

Somalia is just a french drain pit with dead people floating in it

Sudan is in back of the pit next to the bathroom in the basement of hell

I think society as a whole throughout time is constantly improving. Granted there are ebbs and flows of all sorts of issues across the spectrum but on things of major importance like disease, public health, safety, war fatality, modern society is constantly improving.

There is no comparison between now and a century ago in terms of what we perceive as unacceptable loss on the battlefield. Not just the losses of WWII and WW I, but look at what happened in the Civil War. Americans vs Americans, 10,000- 30,000 dead after a battle and that many more would die from injuries and disentary. Lawlessness everywhere and the furthur back you traveleled in time the worse it was. What is happening now in the third world countries was more common around the planet.

Granted you won't catch me walking through the tough side of an inner city with a lot of cash now, but I don't think there was ever a time when that was a smart thing to do. I am optimistic for the future as I think if you look past the fog of our day to day aggravations we have it better now than ever before.

i think Hollywood has alot to do with it... just my .02 cents

all this SICKO glamourization is taking it's toll
(I just saw this ad that said "we need someone to look up to"
and the movie is about ( i dont know ) another jason flick in the hockey mask P.O.S.

all this special effects serial killing crap ... i detest it all...

although there were terrible murders going on from the sixties onward

i don't recall ever hearing about babies being taken (stolen)from a mothers womb (cut out of her)
while she was still alive
until the last few years...
and i consider that as the holy grail of nastiness...
child pornography should totally be shut down and is more
of a threat than terrorism imo to the average american
and shouldn't be protected by the first amendment at all imo

the ten year old kid that got sentenced in florida for trying to kill
the homeless man... and they are getting that thrill of the kill from TV
or computer games.... it's not a random idea or just decided to do it.
thing................it's copy cat........
