When I saw a little girl (around six years old) threatening her mom to 'sue her for emotional abuse', because her mom was telling her to put the put back the two bags of Reeses (we were at a grocery store) because she already had candies and chocolates in the cart.

For me, it was when grocery stores switched from paper bags to plastic bags.

It's a toss up. Either when Nixon was allowed to slide for the damage he did to the Constitution or when Jimmy Carter was demonized and Reagan was promoted to sainthood.
Although the JFK is a cornerstone according to some theories out there, it was right after Dwight Eisenhower was President. According to theories it led to JFK's assasination.

WHEN MY TOWN OPENED UP A "DOG PARK" WHAT A FRIGGIN WASTE. NO ONE EVER GOES. DOGS SHIT ALL OVER MAIN STREET AND THERE IS NO COMMUNITY GARDEN.
PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS WITH THEIR PETS AND TREAT THEM LIKE THEY ARE THEIR CHILDREN. A SERIOUS DOWNFALL OF SOCIETY IS WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN

Re: When did you realize society was going down the toilet?
what????? Im in my early 40's....your late. I would say in the late 70"s when I was 13 I wrote this poem:
SOCIETY
THEY FILL YOUR HEAD FULL OF LIES
AND THEY TELL YOU DONT GET HIGH
THEY TREAT YOU LIKE YOUR VERY LOW
AND LIFES WONDERS YOU DO NOT KNOW
BUT SINCE THE FIRST DAY WE WERE BORN
WE KNEW OUR SOULS WOULD BE TORN
FOR YOU ARE NOT YOURSELF IN THIS LAND
WE NEED SOME ONE TO TAKE A STAND
TO TELL THEM HOW TO LIVE THIS LIFE
TO NOT BE STABBED BY THEIR DEADLY KNIFE
TO FREE OUR SOULS
EXPAND OUR MIND
TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH ALL MANKIND
TO LIVE LIFE VERY SIMPLE AND FREE
THE WAY LOVE WAS ALWAYS
MEANT TO BE.
but 1981 at the age of 17 I knew that we were headed for doom.
yet I went to college
but never would I ever but a house, get a credit card or support the system.
Now all those that though I was crazy.....Remember, and call me for help.

It was directly after that, mid 60s. I first became alarmed at the type of music being broadcast, then found out the schools were getting ready to teach our kindergartners about sex and how babies are made. That's education? Ugh. Little kids should be playing in the sandbox, not having their minds subjected to adult things.
Look at what has resulted...sex, immodest fashions, drugs, and porn permeates our society. All planned, along with dumping fluoride in the drinking water during the same period of time to facilitate brain dysfunction.

1963: JFK assassination. He was a real hero. It ended the USA as we knew it. The crime festers 45 years later.
1968: Manson murder of Sharon Tate. Monstrous crimes are our daily fare now. This was the first. The background music was provided by those loveable Liverpuddlians, the Beatles who exhorted the youth to take drugs, specifically, heroin ( " Happiness is a Warm Gun " )
1980: Election of Ronald Reagan. Suddenly getting money at any cost became the highest God.
2000: Fraudulent election of George Bush. Voting became futile.
2001: WTC. Excuse for the totally illegal war on Iraq.
2008: Election. No matter who wins, chaos will be the result.
The next President will be seen as an all time-world-class scoundrel due to the complete collapse of the economy.
Have a nice day. Time will bring to light whatever is hidden ; it will conceal and cover up what is now shining with the greatest splendor.-- Horace.
When I found out you are not allowed to cross most brdges on foot, and there is no bus to catch to cross the bride in question.
At least in the days of old you could pay the troll to cross the bridge, now the cops lock you up, fine you and you still can't cross the damn bridge..... Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued. It must ensue. And it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself.Victor Frank
