Question: Do we live in the less innocent times!?
After all- violence, drugs and prostitution are nothing new!. Generally one may even think that people are more open minded, less aggressive in our age!. What do you think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

absolutely not!. the times we live in are no less innocent that they were in De Sade's time!. it is apparent that we have adapted as such but i do not think that it is more!.!.!.accepted today as it was then either!. i agree somewhat with the Libertines in that i believe that Nature is the force that condemns men to wallow in Vice and reject Virtue, therefore we are only coming to terms with our animalistic attitudes!. there are still those arrogantly pious individuals that still act as if they are innocent, but they are not, as well they know!. when it all boils down to it: we eat, we s***, we f***, we kill, and we die!. there is no escaping this truth so we must either accept it, or live in denialWww@QuestionHome@Com

I dont know for sure but I dont think so, we just live in more informed times!. Man has been commiting outrageous, demeaning, ignorant, imhumane acts since the begining of time!. We just keep better track of all of them now!. Hopefully, this awareness will help to alleiviate this type of behaviour in the future!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Two base differences between the 'good old times' and 'generation x and y': 1!. The population is our country has doubled!. 2!. We now have technology that links us all together and is a constant life feed of events!.

These two factors threatened the existing status quo and connected people!.

The rest is up to personal interpretation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For me it is not the time we live that decides it !. Whatever may be the time , we must spread love and peace !. That will decide the world for us !. We have to live the time to talk about any time !. In all ages good people lives as good people and bad people live as bad people !. No one can change the entire world !. But we can make our surrounding more liveable by spreading love and peace !. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not so long ago millions of people were being massacred in two World wars!. Not so long before that, it wasn't safe to go out and walk through the streets after dark!.

People think society is violent today, but it's not a patch on how violent it was!

Because of mass media, I do not think we live in less innocent times!. Anytime anything happens, with the emphasis on bad things, the majority of us know it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i dont think we live in the less innocent times , its just that were all informed of everything now , and anything bad happening has a bigger effect on us , because of the media!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

time is always innocent
we are always guilty!.
