But that's only dealing with this one issue...

Along the overall lines, remember Kitty Genovese?...

Quote:
The story of Genovese's murder became an almost-instant parable about the supposed callousness, or at least apathy to others' plight, of either New York City, urban America, or humanity in general. Much of this framing of the event came in reaction to an investigative article[10] in the New York Times written by Martin Gansberg and published on March 27, two weeks after the murder. The article bore the headline "Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call the Police"; the public view of the story crystallized around a quote from the article, from an unidentified neighbor who saw part of the attack but deliberated, before finally getting another neighbor to call the police: "I didn't want to get involved."
Look at what's going on in today's society...

Rappers get MORE cred when they get shot or end up in jail...

People don't want to "snitch" on criminals...

Dr. Ruth's motto is "If it feels good, do it."...

Sex & the City showed that being a whore is okay...You can always just call it it a "healthy sex life"...

The lady cop who just recently planned on suing the people she was trying to help because of a wet floor where they were keeping their non-breating baby whom they just took out of a pool...

People scream at other drivers because they were "inconveniently" in their way...

Paris Hilton is a role-model...Pat & Debbie Boone are laughed at...

The Sopranos are looked up to...The Gottis, Flavor Flav & that New York girl get their own shows...

More people know what Brad & Angelina are doing then their own Reps in Congress...

When a comedian says he does pot to start a story, he gets applause...

I could go on and on...
