*Before reading* See, it's the people like that who are claiming to be Christian without being Christ-like that are giving us a bad name. As far as the things everybody knows about, I'm not sure what's actually true and what isn't. All I know is what I've seen firsthand and been told secondhand. Not sure there's more violence, but there's definitely more cruelty in society. Kids start out learning to be unkind to other kids because that's how basic heirarchies develop. By the time they hit puberty, they're having their own kids, and by example are teaching them to be just as unkind. Some of them learn and try to make up for it, but are simply too young and too buried in the hell they created to help prepare their own progeny. Lather, rinse, repeat. It's what's taught me not to trust people to be civil.
Don't even get me started on the Christian issue just now. :)
