Are people today worse than ever?

Well, in general I'd say that in some ways people are getting better (less physical violence and brutality running rampant, people trying to solve problems by talking rather than fighting) and in some ways people are getting worse (people have become insanely lazy, morality is valued much less).

I'm far more concerned with the fact that there's a show exploiting situations like this and people are contributing to it and keeping the douchebags behind it rich. Seriously, Dr. Phil needs to be kicked in the ass several hundred times.

And no, people are not worse than ever. In fact people are probably better than ever. We allow other people we don't like to stay alive far more than we ever have and allow people more freedoms to live their lives the way they see most fit.

We are also wimpier than ever though. The fact that so many college aged guys are as girly as they are now scares me.
