Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Something like this can be difficult to pin down, but in most of the sense I agree. Society today can be viewed as... Degrading. The internet age allows for more "loner" lifestyles than ever before as people are becoming more accustomed to sitting behind a computer screen than personal interaction, which has also lent forth a colder, more disconnected society. Hell, to me it's no surprise that suicide rates and mental disorders (like depression) are rising starkly, and as personal observation, many of my friends are seriously depressed, not including myself. I've seen comments from older people describing how in their lives they've never seen such a bitterly divided nation, seen such an odd generation, and how things really seem to be falling apart in a sense. Maybe each generation feels like this in their time, but it ponders some thought.
The issue is huge and broad - the entire fabric of society is the problem, how every issue is handled seems to be dealt with in the wrong way. Media, movies, government, basic living, entitlement, EVERYTHING is essentially needing fixing. It's so massive that it can't likely or ever will be fixed, unless something drastic happens. A movement so large where would people begin?
Personally, I have to say I almost wish 2012 would be something to happen, where aliens or some -blam!- come out of the sky and start blowing -blam!- up as humanity as a whole seems so sinister... Yet maybe that's what humanity would need is an imminent global crisis of some sort to pull together and finally advance, or do the opposite and continue to disappoint, divide, and eat each other like animals.
Hopefully my ramblings make sense.
