Our World Is In A State Of Moral Decay
Of this fact, there is not debate, All one has to do these days is to turn on the television.

The decline of morality is a good thing, maybe the rise of the conscience would better serve in this existance .

Of course it is. People are running around like animals, and there are laws that promote loose morals. Not only that, today's kids are being raised secularly which makes it worse.

While I don't think we're worse off morally than ever before, I do believe that some of us have lost some good values. However, it is our own fault for letting negative things influence our culture.

"Of this fact there is not debate". Then why did you post it on this debate site? Clearly you believe there will be a debate.

The status of moral decay depends on where and when you compare it to. World history is a long dark story of raping and pillaging and murder. What I see in the present is I can walk down the street of my city headed to work or shop or whatever and I'm unarmed and fairly relaxed and know there's a pretty good chance I'll reach my objective and then get home safely. What a contrast that is to past times when we carried swords and lived in fortifications, etc. And actually I'd like you to tell us which point in history you think is an exemplary time which we just recently have fallen from to thus be in this moral decay?

 "Of this fact there is no debate" safe from debate from the likes of those like you. lol. We exist in a state of moral decay. While you are correct in that, in many ways, the dangers we face today are somewhat different than those faced by our predecessors, the fact is, we are a conflicted species and we are, as we have always been (to my knowledge) morally decomposing since our conception and existence in this world. Still, we stray so far from the ideals or "goodness" and "rightness" we claim to hold dear and aspire to as a society. Where the heck do you live anyway? I need to take my family and move there. lol. I live in Los Angeles. A good many people here carry guns, tasers, swords, machetes, etc., and live in fortifications, complete with microsensors, surveillance, guard dogs, and sentries, if they can afford it. Now you know.
