Permissiveness: Root cause of Society today

Tolerance or permissiveness is the main reason that the society today has formed in the way it is. It is tolerance that allows the individual law abiding citizen to not oppose the wrong doings in the society today. The less he says the better is it for the uncivic and non-social elements to expand and practice their views. An insight.

Marcus McEagan Look, my life is my own property. If I don't disturb the peace and property of others, who are you to issue me an edict of wicked selfishness? Seems more like your effort to make the world in YOUR image. Welcome to "The Game." Take up a trade and provide the world with some real value. 7/19/2008
Bob I thought you had some very valid points. I agree that when good people don't act on bad actions, then the bad will continue to grow in strength. Todays society shows what happens when people give up believing in being good (for the sake of society and redemption) and became self absorbed in their own self centred worlds. Eg: 'I don't care about others anymore as they don't care about me' is a common attitude these days. This is a visicous circle that is hard to break, because even if you made an effort to care for other people and they don't reciprecate it, then you may think why do I bother to care and so the circle continues. Personally I feel I'm on a one man (and partner) crusade for the good of society. I don't mean this to sound arrogant, I'm sure there a few other good and considerate people out there, but sometimes I do feel this way. I could probably count on one hand the decent people I know in the area I live in. This may be due to the fact that people don't interact with each other anymore. Most interaction is within the work place of a false (you have to interact at work) or work related basis.
I agree that its going to take a massive change by the country leaders (world leaders) to break this apathy in society and point us in the right direction, which is for the good of all people,and not just for the individual in the majority today		 9/16/2006
FuriousGeorge Tolerance may be the side effect of the wisdom in accepting that you don' know every thing. Perhaps the views being expanded are as valid as any other. If all views expanded, maybe they would integrate at some point. But it'll never happen. They don' inegrate, they just bump into each other and begin to push and shove. 11/8/2004
