What happened to doing things because they were the right thing to do???

It used to be when people treated other people with respect. They did things because it was the right thing to do, or didn't do things because it was just wrong.

Now everyone questions why? People defend their actions with,"Well, it's not like I'm breaking the law or anything?" "Other people are doing it too," or "I was just joking. I didn't mean it."

What happened to compassion and looking out for one another? I'm all about laughing at my differences, but that's completely different than the extreme bullying and abuse that's going on.

Sorry, just had to vent...
