[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1569189, member: 239"] I was raised as the OP was raised. You say what you mean, do what you say and a promise is a promise which is to be kept. Trust was earned. Those things were taught to me by parents who grew up in the great depression, lived thru WWII and to whom those behaviors were to be expected. The 60's IMO changed all of that IMO. But like every thing the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Some still live by those mores, some don't. I'm kind'a with the OP though, society is slipping and those that live with an attitude of your word is your bond are becoming the minority. If I were to hazard a guess as to why I'd have to say it is a result of the rise of moral relativism in our society. Where that belief system came from and how it has become more and more widespread is beyond my ability to fathom but it is the source IMO. [/QUOTE]
