I sure as hell hope it is...but that's just my hope.

The question is: Will what is commonly called "middle America" exist in another 50 years? What will happen when Generation I (i.e. kids born, say, 85 and later...kids who have been able to download scat porn pretty much their entire lives) grows up?

My opinion? Buh-bye middle America.

What's yours?

The funny thing is I see more and more people living at home or graduating college then moving back home. Oh yeah, and there are some retarded people that go to college.

Fundamentalism is on the rise in this country, not on the decrease.

Hmm.

Isn't that a result of all of this though?

And don't those people not matter? (There's an explanation here..but I don't want to bother typing it out if anyone else can get it)

I don't know about Middle America, but I'm pretty confident Califonia will be gone in the next 50 years unless they make some MAJOR changes.

Ever notice that the people who claim to be the most open-minded are often the least?

I think it will stick around...pornography is not new, it's not like the previous generationd didn't have access to Playboy magazines etc.

I hope we're gone from the union, and become our own independent nation!

Thanks for your opinion.

You're welcome.. :)

On topic: Based on how you're defining "Middle America", I'd have to say that intolerance is a fundamental part of human nature, and is unlikely to change much over the next ten, hundred, or a thousand years. People will always want to dictate morality to other people, to tell them what they should and shouldn't do (whether or not they follow their own words).

When it comes to issues about sexuality, I'm a pretty liberal guy. However, I felt the halftime show was in very bad taste.

Well, obviously anyone who disagrees with you about the Super Bowl halftime show is a "conservative 'tard". Pretty intolerant statement if you ask me.

I would like to see a return to the fundamental core values of the 50's, except for the stereotype associated with negro's.

In a generation, the average family will need 4.5 working people to earn a living :p

Oh, you mean fundamentalist America, not middle class America. You should specify this in the original post. Back to the topic...fundamentalist America will be around as long as there is an America. People will always get offended by pretty much anything, especially if it's in the context of religion.

Do you mean people who come from a moral tradition and perspective that is unpopular with rebellious youth? No, not gone, as you'll see when/if you grow up.

Intolerance isn't going away. Ever. It's part of human nature. We're gonna have a Babylon 5 world in the future, not a Star Trek world.

I immediately discount anyone who uses the term "tard" or "retard". That is just simply 5th-grade behavior.

But, fwiw, "Middle America" will be here for many years to come.
