No, the population's morals, ethics and general behaviour has deteriorated since the 70's. We no longer care what happens to our neighbours, locked up behind our doors caring only for personal wealth and wellbeing.
If anything the thin veneer of civilisation has become thinner.
We are only a stones throw "quite literally sometimes" from a howling mob.
I copied this part from that article as I believe it to be true.People are to wrapped up in their own lives to give a sh*t about wether their neighbours are alive let alone need help.Children are starve or beaten to death and "nobody" realised it was happening..YER! I don't remember the war but have watched and read plenty and really can't see people helping each other or even coping like they did.I hope we never have another war,but if we do i hope I'm wrong in this.
