Question

What has this world come to?

Answer 1

My first thoughts are selfishness, greed, and  self indulgence. But I'm seeing the world in a more positive light so that my perspective is filled with hope. Therefor, this world has come into love, light and progress.

Answer 2

WHO KNOWS Dx

Answer 7

Answer 8

We're going backwards, taking away what we've given.

Answer 9

I assume that you are not referring to the spherical rock mass that continues its mindless orbit around the sun, but the humans that inhabit it.

We live in a permanent state of conflict.  The instinctive need for self-preservation versus the altruistic need to care for others, or at least to respect "rights" that have not been earned but voluntarily bestowed by relatively prosperous and well-meaning people.

Some people take those rights and exercise them to climb the ladder of opportunity. Far more take those rights, use them to tie the hands of the powers that be behind their backs, and carry on the feckless, lawless behaviour that caused them to be have-nots to begin with.

In my view, the World is reaping what the Flower Generation, with no mandate other than sheer numbers and their parents' good will and support, wrought upon the body politic as they swept through it like a tidal bore. And in the fashion of tidal bores, they left the level as it was before, but with a lot of debris.
