[QUOTE="drnick7"] [QUOTE="swizz-the-gamer"][QUOTE="drnick7"]I think as a whole, human society has come a long way in the past few centuries. Sure there's a lot of progress to be made, but in general, people live a lot better than they used to. The promiscuity of teenagers is hardly indicative of the collapse of our civilization; you're being a little dramatic.:lol: Link256
No actually thats not true, for you maybe. For starving children in Africa... Maybe not.I said "as a whole" and "in general", and that there "is still a lot of progress to be made". But I understand where you're coming from: the awful state of third-world countries, like those in Africa, where genocide, starvation, and disease are still rampant is certainly a problem we need to deal with as a human species. You'll note, however, that the TC seems to be more concerned with the sexual activity of what I assume are American teenagers.
Also, I think it important to remind everyone that since the begging of society, there have always been third-world countries that suffer from starvation and disease.
Otherwise, if you are going to judge society based on lowest levels, society has always been in the ****tank, because you are never going to find time in human history where that is not the case.
Very good point, and actually, it was only a couple hundred years ago, if that, that just about every society had major problems with disease and starvation. The fact that there are some societies today that suffer little from these problems shows how much progress we've made.
