IMHO, I think it's generational. People brought up in the '40's and '50's have different morals, character, ethics then the generations after that. The 50's everyone lived the life of June and Ward and "Happy Days", the 60's we had the Rock-n-Roll Revolution, Woodstock, the War, Women's Lib, the 70's had disco, Jane Fonda outburst, Watergate and on and on and on. This changes our culture as a country and generation.
What I'm NOT saying is people born in the 60's, 70's lack morals, character or ethics. I'm just saying with each generation that goes by, less people put stock in these qualities as the older generations. And it shows.
I also know alot of older folks who think they have the "right" to speak their mind in any fashion they desire, because they've hit a certain age and they are entitled to do just that.
I actually play a game with myself and guess what generation the people on here came from. I'm right alot, but sometimes I'm wrong..
It's sad. I wish it was still like in the 50's.
