Political divide ever expanding (civil war coming), gun violence, education and healthcare systems are unsustainable and inaccessible to many, bigotry and hate rising exponentially in last decade or so, middle class becoming irrelevant and shrinking. Sorry but it's the truth.

Abel,
And it's compounded and magnified by the media with 24 hour news, so-called experts, and now TV shows, talk shows, and movies are used for pushing the political party's views and product placement rather than entertain. I've stopped watching American TV shows almost entirely and have subscribed to Britbox. The British shows are entertaining, up with the times, and slam their political views in your face. They treat racism and radicalism realistically, as a matter of life within the show.

TL;DR: Things are different than they used to be and some people can't accept that. Basically a long list of "Back in my day..."
Older people have said a variation of these since time immemorial.
Things change. It's how you deal with it that matters.
And especially how you view it.
Despite the current problems, the world is more accepting to other people, more technological advanced, and less violent than it ever has been. Don't forget that the input of news is mainly negative because that's the news we are interested in. I could fill a book with all the good news that happens in a day. But if it isn't reported on you won't know it.
Want to make the world even better? Stop whining and create something good this world needs.
Help and be kind and be understanding of your fellow men and women preferably if you don't even know them or are different than you.
If even a tiny amount of people treat others like they want to be treated that would make a huge difference.

Deborah, accepting people isn’t necessarily a good thing. Much of the “acceptance” we see today is really a lowering of standards. People are much more accepting of debauchery now which is not sustainable in the long run. A return to traditional values will come in time and unfortunately it will be an unpleasant experience for those that are participating in it. I agree with helping and supporting others but not just for the sake of being agreeable and “going along to get along.” Immoral people need to be called out, not patted on the back and told they’re OK.

Julia,
The people you consider having "lower standards" are gay I bet, right? If you hate someone just because they love someone you don't approve of then I think who REALLY has the lower standards...
It's pretty simple; unless they hurt someone let people do what they want.

#5 For anyone who thought journalism is about the truth, and not about making money for the entity producing it, You are a complete Idiot. It's always been about doing whatever you can to get people to read what you right.
When they write about someone you disagree with, it's misinformation, when it's something you agree with, it's factual.

Sheldon, my guess would be he’s been alive a lot longer than you. By your question we can tell you aren’t very wise.

Agree with most of these except for #16 - there is a good variety of cars right now - Smarts, BRZs, trucks, SUVs, Porsche, - the list is lengthy.
