There is one thing that has disappeared, not just from the U.S. but from the entire world, is the idea of ever being embarrassed by anything.

About This Quote

Perhaps the most depressing thing about the United States is that when they are caught doing something wrong, they don’t seem to care. They are so arrogant in their thinking that they believe that there is no shame in being caught doing something wrong. This idea of ever being embarrassed by anything has slowly disappeared from all of our lives. This means that there is no longer any fear of punishment or shame in anything we do. We live in a country where there are no consequences for actions, and this means that our society is becoming worse day by day.
