BRAVO! BRAVO! and AMEN!
Everything you said, are things that needed to be said. Hopefully people will listen and adhere to what you stated and adhere to what God wants and what He has told us.
You know, I teach Drivers Ed to high school students, (ages 16-17, four students in the car at one time,) and I find it troubling and sometimes embarrassing what comes out of their mouths. When I was growing up, certain words were not used, certain subjects were not brought up as they remained private. It's not that way anymore. Now, no matter what, it's out in the open.
I had one student this past semester, a young girl. She was kind of a brazen, loud mouthed gal. In one class, her anxiety was way up because she had to make a speech in front of the entire school board, about 150 people. She was so high strung and nervous about it that she just kept rambling on and on about everything. During one of her ramblings, loud enough for everyone to take notice, she practically yells, "and on top of everything, I got my period." Some of the students laughed, some of them just stayed quiet and ignored her. Because I do not yell at my students, I simply said that we did not need to know that information, and it was more than we needed to know about her. At one time, things like that were kept in private. Discussed with a parent or counselor or doctor on a one on one. It's just not a topic the whole world needs to know about.
I had another student a few years back that would get in the car and bring everyone up to date on her sexual exploits and her drug use. There is just no shame anymore. And a lot of times, the gals are even worse than the guys.
Yes, I do blame the parents. It's obvious that these kids were not taught about morals or about decency or what things to keep private or what is in poor taste or vulgar.
When Jesus says that it will be the same as it was in the days of Noah before His coming, He is referring to the fact that the world will be just as wicked and evil as it was during the time of Noah. (Matthew 24:37)
Compare the society of Noah's day with our own today with it's violence, hatred, greed, selfishness and lack of respect, a do what you want society in so many ways as we experience ourselves on a daily basis.A society that is becoming more secular and atheistic year by year,turning it's back on God and mocking those who are Christians as backwards and gullible believers in ancient fairy stories.
I am certain that we are in those times now and as bad as it is, it will only get worse. The plus side of this is that the Second Coming of Christ is right around the corner, so we best be ready.

@IM5688 I would definitely have to say something to your students if I was their teacher about their mouths and attitudes. Especially with the stuff that comes out of their mouths that's so filthy. You shouldn't have to put up with that, being you are the teacher. I would let them know that if they're going to take my class then they're going to have to show respect in all ways, and make that clear.

@IM5688 In every generation, the youth is rotten. We just grow up and mature then when the next generations act the same way we did, it just seems worse.
Of course everyone says, "Oh no, we worked for what we wanted, we respected our elders, etc."
Yeah right. I hear people my age, Gen X, say that and I think, "I was there, I know we were horrible just like the kids of all generations."
As far as the new generations not keeping private things private, I think that is because people finally figured out that no matter how much you try to hide something, you will be "outed" anyways so might as well put it out there.
People used to blab about other's personal business just for a little bit of gossip. Well now that people are "out and proud" about their business, people do not like it.

Superb post. Superb intellect meaning. This is the most important aspect for a Nation to grow. Nation is a nation because of God. It is our responsibility to let these children understand the Importance of God, discipline accordingly. Cause if we don't, there won't be a nation to say "A nation". With growing ingress of People following Atheism, not believing in God, believing in some other idolatry God, these things have ruined all the typical nations in the past and will ruin The Greatest Nation too, if this aspect is left unheard.
@TheOrionbeltseeker I couldn't agree more, but as for this nation, I believe it's past the point for bouncing back to morality.

@CestManan Allegedly penned by Stalin, ergo the hammer and sickle, but as I said, not a country, a mind set.
@soar2newhighs [quote]Who is blaming a/ any countries.? This was snd still is a mind set.[/quote]
Yes, AND what they are really saying is, America is lazy, so demoralized in every way, and the standards have dropped so dramatically, it has destroyed its own self. You can just walk in and take it over, without even one shot fired. They realize we are now a very weak nation, because of it. Especially with having a President whose wife has to follow him around and babysit him everywhere he goes, because he can't even make an intelligible sentence and calls himself his own wife. He can't even find the front door to his home. This is pitiful. This is what we have to deal with and we are seen around the world now as weak fools, and vulnerable. I'm ashamed of him. This is definitely not the leadership we need for this country and I wish people could see that.

@soar2newhighs Yes, this is exactly how America fell. They knew what it would take.
