Why are we such a depraved society?

What's wrong with us?

I was walking through the parking lot of a store the other day and had to step over used condoms and dirty baby's diapers.

A few days later... another diaper at a different store.

What the hell is wrong with us?

My first job in HS (and partially funding college) was working at McDonald's.  Its an entry level job.  Lots of low income/underskilled folks work there AND eat there.

I NEVER had to clean up used condoms or dirty diapers.  In 7+ years.  Ever.  I never did it, none of my crew ever mentioned it to me, we never talked about it in meetings... IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Yes, I grew up in a fairly nice part of town... but I also worked  in a store "on the other side of the tracks".

I'm convinced society is going down hill.  In the 50s/60s, Marilyn Monroe was considered salacious.

Now she's damn near a role model for piousness as compared to the likes of Miley Cyrus.

The euphoria of those who survived WWII, the baby boom and their children are to blame.  Everyone gets a puppy and an ice cream cone has bread generations of an "expectation" society who things everything they ever want should just be theirs.  They shouldn't work for it, they "deserve" it.

Its not their job to pickup after themselves.  They shouldn't have to walk to the garbage can with their dirty diaper or wrap it up to dispose of at home. They earned the right to discard it on the ground for someone to step in.

Its depressing.

Part of me considers myself fortunate we can't have kids.  I won't be contributing to this problem nor burdening my offspring with it.
