I suppose it all depends on whether or not "Times" have really changed
that much? Is this 'time' a bit less safe or trust worthy?
Is this a Q for a different thread?
I think times have changed. Things are more dangerous but I think the biggest change is due to liberalism.
We have become a country of (for lack of a better term) pussies who can't deal with things or accept responsibility. I'm glad my Grandfather isn't alive because the latest generations are so far removed from "the greatest generation" that laws like this have to be passed in the first place.
My child is obese....I'll sue McDonalds. I spilled hot coffee in my lap.....I'll sue McDonalds. My child is acting up.....I'll call the police to discipline them (several times a day I might add). My child was hurt at recess....let's get rid of dodgeball and sue the school.
We have become a dumbed down version of what we once were. We are a bunch of liberal wimps who absolutely REFUSE to take responsibility for our own actions or those dependant upon us.
So no....I think your question fits perfectly in this thread because it's the times we live in now that has led to laws like this and the actions of everyone around us.
