Yeah I see it too. But I also see a lot of good people still. It's not dead. Best we can do is keep it alive and teach our kids a bit of kindness, manners, and respect.

My opinion is there's just too many damn people in the world, so when you have a segment of them that suck, it seems like a lot.

I hope you are right.

the more populated we become the more important kindness, manners and respect become, imo.

A total tool of control this division. A spawn of the media. It keeps the two parties thriving. Everyone wants to be part of a selective team, whether it be religion, politics, gender, sexuality, social class, musical taste, etc. It gives you identity. And knowing you are part of this group or that gives you a sense of support. And everyone wants a fight to fight. There are great divisions that will never be fixed. The key is compromise. And that is what's lost.

people in general. while driving or in stores it appears to me that people have a certain disrespect for one another. manners and common courtesy seems nonexistent. honestly I have never saw so much rudeness in all my 57 years!!!

I've noticed the opposite here in NYC and have been pretty shocked by it! Usually this city has been know as 'rude', but everyone's been seeming so friendly and upbeat here lately, it's amazing!

I think there's compromise on every single issue we have in this country.

Economy/Spending
Taxes, and where to place them
Guns
Military Force
Health Care
Immigration
Education

etc, etc

There is middle ground for all these that would work. You know what doesn't work? Doing nothing because the lines are drawn.

Haha man.... Coming from Canada, I expected the worst when moving to NYC, but it's not at all how people say it is. I've been here 8yrs and it's far friendlier than I'd ever expected. Intimidating at first, sure, possibly rude for tourists who come here and move around in slow motion, but I've really grown to think that NY is a truly great place.

by liberal do you mean a modern liberal or classical?



That leaves a wide spectrum of choices lol

More classic. You know the middle class, union loving type.

But I'm not religious so I'm ok with the liberal views on sexuality, abortion and evolution.

I'm middle road on guns and immigration. I'm sketchy if Islam. I'm anti affirmative action. Feminism is annoying, just be equal and stfu.

Political correctness has ruined the word liberal.
 
I have conservative values, but:
I believe in unions
government regulations on business
raising the minimum wage
better pay for military
welfare [entitlements] for those who truly need it
2nd amendment

I don't believe in affirmative action, that time has come and gone!!!

I watched Obama's news conference today...it made me laugh when he said as long as we stick together we will be fine. to me Obama is the great divider, this country is as divided as I've ever seen it. race/religion/gender/sexual preference/gender, geez talk about a country at odds with each other!!!

lol...when Obama talks about American values, whose values is he talking about?

His communist values he learned from his natural father and mentor a Frank Marshall Davis of course who was on the FBI communist watch list.

I am not a economist and don't know the answer...but everything Obama has done = fail, imo.

I agree, modern liberals now in days are just democratic socialists; too emotionally driven.

This was something that bothered me about this week's debate. They mainly just spoke about ISIS and war.
Click to expand...

Lol....thats because the topic of the debate was national security, although economics is a part of that too and was covered a little by Trump and Paul.

They usually find different pre-planned categories per debate so they can somewhat cover everyone's sales pitch in a measly 2 hours.

Ahh ok... I tuned in late to the debate and had no idea what they were going to talk about going into it lol.. Was hoping they'd talk about a range of topics.

Classified or not, she needs a mandatory 7 years prison sentence for obstruction of justice for wiping out those hard drives.
