I know I'm one of the younger members, but when I was a child growing up (respect) was a big issue. You didn't back talk your parents, curse someone out on the streets ect. Even as I've gotten older I've seen respect go down the crapper. The whole world just got itself in a damn hurry, and no one has time for anything anymore. Both parents are now working because they BOTH want careers and kids are being left to be raised by sitters, daycare, ect.

I find that many homes today lack discipline. I strongly believe that children today are about 95% a product of their environment. Hows a child to grow up acting right, when the children are being raised by kids themselves.

Society has just gone down hill and fast too. It's a completely me, me, me attitude now. Parents don't want to accept responsibility for their kids anymore. Here's a good example of where I live. I live in a really nice condo complex, but damn the lack of respect these kids have here is mind blowing. I got cursed out by a 12 year old (using language even I wouldn't use) just because I told him to get off my car. The little punk was sitting on the hood of my car talking to his friends who were also all over my car. The kids are terrible! They just don't have any respect for anyone anymore. You call their parents and they tell you to go to hell, or they curse you out too just because you said something to their child to begin with (even if their child is wrong). Just yesterday my wife was on the playground with my daughter and there was a 4 years old child out there with no supervison. The oldest child out there was 6 years old, and not ONE parent in site. Again the kids are left to raise eachother today.
