We have become such an instant gratification society.I think that technology is advancing faster than our ability to adapt to the social situations that it inadvertantly changes. No tolerance for commnicating with one another. Next time your at a store, do some people watching, it's almost shocking. I'm not saying that's what made this monster go crazy, but people in general are changing. This is just my opinion.
This "the world is changing" is such BS. It's just like those crackpot 2012 doomsday theories which point to isolated phenomena and infer the world is ending.

I got news for you: the world can be a really ####ty place. This has not changed in thousands of years of civilization, and it aint changing any time soon. Your Wal-Mart observations amount to nothing more than geriatric "kids these days..." whining.
