Has America gone soft

Seems to me that America is flled with abounch of softies, without facebook, or their cell phone they act like they might not make it. Come on people life will go on if you miss one episode of dancing with the stars! The America my grandfather grew up in, he would chop wood for 50 cents a day just to put food on the table, he would stand behind his word, and actually fight for what he believed. The America now he wouldn't even recognize.

Yep. Even in Britain it's "I'd die without my TV, My iPad goes everywhere with me (actually- that one's German), Without internet access I might as well be dead." I hate what people have done to themselves through technology. EMP!

Possibly? But it's the way of things and there's no going back now... sure kids had fun playing 'Kick the Can' back in the 50's but try suggesting to a kid today that they play that? LOL. It's sort of like the movie The Exorcist... in the 70's it terrified people but watch it today and you'll laugh your ass off.

Have you seen the obesity rates in this country?

I think that speaks for itself over just how soft and pudgy America has gotten.

And why not? The debate description seems to describe the softness of America in the sense that our civilian population is soft.

What better analogy for it's softness then how pudgy and squishy many of it's people are?

I see good arguments on both sides but i think america may have gotten soft over the years. But this is not the same america our grandparents hell even our parents grew up with. It but still with modern technology it just shows how advance we have become and are becoming as a nation.

Yes we have, I see kids in my grade getting lasier and lasier, more are playing videogames rather than going outside.

Even though I'm a electronic freak, I do agree that America has gotten softer (why America, why?)

maybe the general population has gone soft, but I'd say our military industrial complex has gotten colder and more vicious.
