We put the Ugh in Thought

   Society has progressively gone downhill as to how we think. We don't think about what matters anymore. In financial, political, religious, domestic, and really anything anymore do average people think hard enough about what they are doing. When some sucker is offered a "too good to be true" kind of deal (scam) they don't stop to think that maybe it is. When people are voting (if they even vote (which in itself is thoughtlessness)) many these days don't stop to think about policies or what the candidates will do for the country, they just go with whoever has the funnier name or who looks the best. It is a little saddening to watch the people around you ruin themselves and others by thoughtlessness.

So lets stick with the old adage "Think before you leap".

  2. I agree for the most part. I think you made too much of a generalization with the voting, but I get your overall point.

    BTW, Is it grammatically possible for the double parentheses like that???

  3. I disagree. There has been very little to provide change over the past hundred years. Every culture and society had problems, and ours is no different. In fact, I would argue that every society has been faced with the problems that you specifically mentioned.

  4. You are probably right, but with several billion more people on the Earth, Society has a significantly bigger impact on the earth and everyone on it.
