~Society Lowering Standards~ Part 1

Lately, I have noticed how we (society) are rapidly making things that were once unacceptable, acceptable.For example, long time ago alcohol was prohibited,but since then it was made acceptable again.Prostitution was illegal in the U.S.,but now it's accepted in certain states as long as they followed certain rules and payed taxes...What has this world come to? 

Of course now society is debating whether or not marijuana should be legalized.At this point,it appears to be that more and more people are expressing their approval of marijuana being legalized or just expressing their indifference to the matter.Everything that has been legalized or simply just made more socially acceptable within the past 20 years have been things-issues that made society 'feel better'. 

Gay marriage has since been legalized in New York and has always been legal in other states and countries.This subject is sooooooo touchy that it most heterosexual people don't even want to think about it let alone talk about it unless they are major gay/lesbian supporters.Which leads me to that fact that now it's 'cool' to be a gay advocate as an heterosexual person; most celebrities always campaign about it and get people hyped about it....


What do you think?
