Without siding with anyone group, most have lost some sense of respect and common sense. Just because one isn't a conventional criminal does not mean they are good guy.

Traditional values should always remain subject to review--even attack--to see whether they remain justifiable or whether they need modification to stay viable as vehicles, rather than as roadblocks.

@scotta Muslim children don't pray in public school. My boss is Muslim. She's a medical director of a hospital emergency department. She doesn't stop in the middle of a trauma to and pray. I understand what you're saying, however. I find it very annoying to call someplace and have to listen to "For English, press 1..." . I tell myself that's not the fault of the non-English speakers, that's the fault of greedy businesses that don't want to lose a buck even if it speaks another language. Everyone has different values even if they're from the same country, same state, even same town. I think there's a lot more intolerance of people's differences. I just feel li...

v No, I don't

Not at all- but the wording of this question invites replies based on ethnocentrism by ignoring the variations of "traditional values" among different cultures, ethnic groups, religions, etc. Tradition is important as are values, but values rooted entirely in tradition pose a threat to everyone. History has shown us the ugliness of embracing (at the time) accepted "traditional values" most notably in the Civil Rights and Suffrage movements. When "traditional values" evoke beliefs that endorse oppression, discrimination, and lack of humanity, then they should be under attack.

specifically, the traditional American values enshrined in our Constitution: limited government with minimal, enumerated powers delegated to it; the sovereignty and primacy of the individual; and guarantees of fundamental freedoms to protect against an overly intrusive and overbearing government.

Traditional: Hmmmmm.......... Ever hear of starting a new tradition? Actually, trying to include all citizens in a tradition is not attacking it, but rather strengthening it. And some traditions need to be changed! Once upon a time in the old west, it was tradition to hang horse thieves! It was traditional to wipe your butt with a corn cob! It was traditional to remain a virgin until you were married! Thank God for Charmin!

"Traditional values" has become a dirty concept in some circles. The young have always rebelled against "tradition", and some adults never grow up. . Complicating the matter is that everyone has a different concept of "traditional values". I consider it a meaningless label. . If you want to talk about the traditional American values as individual liberty whether that be speech, worship, assembly, private property and the rest of our Rights? . Then yes. Our "traditional values" are under attack.

Define traditional values. My values may be different from yours. It's a free country and I should be able to live the way I see fit and everyone should have full equality as American citizens. I shouldn't be required to live by someone else's religious views, morals, or ethics.

Of course they are. Our society is turning into a whimpy me me me society full of needy people who truly believe they are OWED stuff. There is no personal responsibility. There is no honor or manners. We sue people because we spill hot liquids on ourselves. We blame teachers because our children misbehave at home. We allow illegals to protest in our streets while we cower in our homes. Kids clothing are worn around their ankles. I'm sure you're getting my point. Believe me, there are more examples.

v No, I don't

No, I don't. At least not enough. Traditional values, or really values of any kind that are unquestioned, are pathology. When ideas stagnate and begin to be passed down as dogma, they form chains in our minds. These ideas, these ideologies, these ghosts, cripple our thinking and disable us from overcoming many of our current societal ills.

We live in a very sad and rapidly declining time. Society as a whole is a disgrace. Family is no longer top priority. We live in a society riddled with violence and dishonor, Children are raised with little to no morals or values of any type. Family was at one time the most important part of a persons life, now it seems families are disposable. Most people are out for only themselves. To many people are to busy chasing the all mighty dollar and have forgotten everything that is truley important in life. Without the most important bond of all "FAMILY" society will NEVER come out of the downward spiral it is currently in.
