Biggest problem in Society today

I have to say Accountability and Entitlement have to take the cake. With regards to the former, I think of the parents that let their kids do whatever they want and then blame society or video games, etc for their own kids behavior.

I'd also have to add in Regard. Regard for others. Perfect example: About 75% of drivers on the road.

We've become a weird society where things are becoming very impersonal. I moved back here from CA becasue I never saw kids playing outside, since I've been back, I hardly see kids playing outside here. Partially, its fear, I dont want my kids taken, when I was in first grade I used to walk alone 1/4 mile to my best friends house and my parents were strict! Perhaps thats one good thing about the economy, we'll all be in the soup lines togtgher........

I hear you. It is amazing how quickly things have changed. But the one thing that absolutely drives me insane is a parent's lack of accountability for their own children. Child acts up in school, must be the schools fault. Child caught stealing, the store should use more secure measures. Child kills someone, the violence in video games and on tv is was drove him (or them)to do it.

I am in favor of some states that are enacting laws that hold parents responsible for some of the crimes their children commit.
