I guess people want to be as base as they possibly can be & not be called out on it. We as a society, should allow anything, just because someone wants to do it. No standards. Well, how's that turning out for us? Not so good, as we are about to go into the dustbin of history.

I don't know what's going on with our species, but it's not good. I fear we are in a collective 'holy shit are we fucked' mindset & it is bringing out the worst in us.
