What is the worst thing that our society accepts?
I think we're
a bit too lenient (as a whole) on child molesters, murderers, and drunk
drivers. Obesity also comes to mind, though there's no public crime in
that. Still we do tend to accept it more readily than any other country.

You know,
I really can't decide who the 'award' goes to. Both blind patriotism and
blind cynicism haven't really helped us much. Lifelong prisoners getting
the best healthcare is a pretty big insult to injury. Too many laws being
selectively enforced when they shouldn't exist to
begin

Our society
accepts a LOT of bad things. I could compose a list a mile long. I think
something needs to be done about overpopulation, though, because as a
species, we are just using
too many of the earth's resources. At this rate, I don't see how can possibly
sustain ourselves much longer!

Oh so many
things, but state sanctioned executions are pretty horrible. It implicates
all of us in the act of murder.

Our society
is far too tolerant of child abuse.

Where do I
start? I suppose the worst is Welfare. So many people abuse it and even
those who don't, get to benefit.

American society
is largely driven by the loud voices of the few rather than the true "silent"
majority. But whose fault is that?
