Much of the discussion about the rapid decline of the American Dream is typically focused on the economic collapse that we have been experiencing. But that is only part of the story. The truth is that one of the biggest reasons why the American Dream is coming to an end for so many people is because our nation has become morally rotten to the core. America is no longer a nation full of good, solid, moral people that you can trust your children with. Instead, America has now become a nation of self-centered, greedy, corrupt, wicked people most of which appear to be obsessed with lust, pleasure and entertainment. The fundamental character of the people in the United States has changed. We can all feel it. We all know it on some level, although it can be hard to put that feeling into words. But unless the moral rot that is plaguing our society is addressed, the solutions to all of our other problems will continue to evade us.
The following are 16 cold, hard facts that prove that America has now become a nation full of perverts....
#1) According to one major study, one out of every four married men in the United States confesses to having at least one extramarital affair. That is just the men who will admit it. Imagine how many others are having affairs but who are still trying to lie about it. The truth is that marriage is one of the foundational institutions that society is built upon, but in America today it means next to nothing.
#2) A Focus on the Family survey found that 47% percent of American families said that pornography is a problem in their home. That is not just a minor problem - that is a national epidemic.
#3) More than 70% of men in the United States between the ages of 18 and 34 visit at least one pornographic website in a typical month. Yes, you read that correctly - 70 percent.
#4) 89 percent of all pornography is created in the United States. 11 percent is made in the rest of the world. And yet we like to think of ourselves as so "moral" compared to the rest of the globe.
#5) Researchers conducting a major study at the University of Montreal recently launched a search for men who had never looked at pornography - but could not find a single one.
#6) Law enforcement officials estimate that about 600,000 Americans and 65,000 Canadians are trading dirty child pictures online. They also say that the profits from creating and trading these images is approximately two to three billion dollars every single year.
#7) Young men in the United States are so addicted to sex and are so incredibly irresponsible that they are getting record numbers of young teen girls pregnant. In fact, it was recently reported that 115 girls at one high school in Chicago alone either already have a baby or are pregnant right now. That is absolutely mind blowing.
#8) Thanks to the moral depravity of our young American men, one out of every four teen girls in the United States now has an STD and more than 25 percent of the residents of New York City now have herpes. Our moral sickness is spreading physical sickness all over the place and is placing a tremendous strain on our health care system.
#9) Last year, MySpace representatives and law enforcement officials worked in conjunction and were finally able to announce that approximately 90,000 sex offenders had been identified and removed from MySpace. But doesn't it disturb you that there were 90,000 known offenders running around on MySpace in the first place?
#10) Authorities estimate that there are well over 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the United States today. Just think about that. 60 million Americans who were abused as kids. That statistic alone proves that America is a nation just brimming with perverts.
#11) Today there are approximately 400,000 registered sex offenders in the United States. Yes, that is correct. 400,000 of them. In fact, there are websites out there where you can see how many of them live on your street. You might just be surprised.
#12) Authorities also estimate that about 95% of all teenage prostitutes were sexually abused as children. The abuse of children in the United States is a national tragedy and a national disgrace.
#13) According to researchers, convicted rapists in the United States report that two-thirds of their victims were under 18 and 58% of those said their victims were 12 years old or younger. How sick is that?
#14) One shocking survey revealed that American men are so completely addicted to pornography that a large number of them can't even wait to get home to look at it. The survey found that 25 percent of American employees that have Internet access visit pornography websites while they are at work. Do you know what your employees are doing?
#15) The truth is that producing dirty pictures for Americans is very, very big business. 89 dollars is spent on pornography every single second of every single day in the United States.
#16) In fact, porn industry revenue is larger than all of the revenues for all professional football, baseball and basketball franchises combined. Just take a moment to think about that.
After reading all of the facts listed above, is there any doubt that America has become a nation that is absolutely overflowing with sickos, weirdos and perverts?
No, there is not.
The United States has become a place where you cannot let your children go out to play in the neighborhood without watching them like a hawk.
The United States has become a place where pedophiles and sexual predators roam neighborhoods and roam Internet chat rooms in increasingly large numbers.
The United States has become a place where looking at dirty pictures and movies on the Internet has become one of the most treasured forms of home entertainment.
Many people are scratching their heads and are wondering why the American Dream is falling apart. Sure, the fact that the U.S. has piled up the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world is a huge reason why it is happening. But also the fact that we have become a nation full of perverts is another gigantic reason for our downfall.
The truth is that there is NO hope for the future of the United States if we continue to behave like this. No nation can frolic in the moral toilet and be a great nation at the same time for long. We are destroying our nation by what we have allowed ourselves to become. We have become a nasty, disgusting nation and we desperately need to wake up.
The reason for all of this is simple: because liberal European values have finally caught up with the United States which is what your forefathers are trying to get escape in the first place when they are beginning to colonize your nation.
Same thing here in the Philippines. We blame the issue of porn on the Americans because we look at your country now as liberal.

So when women get VD it is always just the man’s fault? Women are never, ever to blame for getting STIs? Do lesbians ever transmit diseases to each other, or do you just enjoy blaming men?
American women are as perverted as men, and in many cases more so. The fact that radical feminism has promoted the lie in schools and throughout pop culture that men are only good for obtaining pleasure or for producing babies is one of the reasons for the decline in morals. It is virtually impossible today to find a young woman who has not had intercourse with multiple partners by the time she is ready for marriage. America has slid down the slippery slope of moral turpitude and become a pagan nation. With 50 thousand or more abortions since 1972, one can’t blame pornography alone for the objectification of human beings. Human life is cheap and disposable. We objectify each other and use each other for pleasure. Our hearts have become hard and our consciences seared. It is past the point of saving. The only thing that remains is Divine intervention…
It is a Revival of the Old Moloch State.
The problem is a nation of sinners that have rejected God and his law. The answer is that God sent his Son Jesus Christ. He lived a perfect sinless life and gave his life in our place. We must as individuals, Repent and Believe in the work of the Cross of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. Do it today, tomorrow may be to late.
Lots of men do look at porn but this was a fact before the Internet. I would love to believe porn and promiscuity is a “liberal” problem but can we explain why the divorce rate is much higher in the Bible Belt down south than in liberal Massachusetts? Divorce has done so much harm to the American family you can probably see in the rise of divorce and broken homes the rise of all other social problems in our society. When you have a one parent home who has time to watch the kids and protect them?
Faulty statistics, looking at the “trends”. If you are going to compare today to 20 years, ago, think again. How many crimes happened, that at one time would have gone unreported. Remember that factoid that 60 million Americans are the survivors of childhood abuse? If you say that there is an increase in abuse, perhaps it’s mostly due to increased reporting by abuse victims. That’s the trouble with all of this, I believe, completely that these ‘perversions’ are proportionally very similar to the past. I would just about bet money on the fact that we are no more or less perverted than 20, 40, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 years ago.
Protect yourselves and be ever vigilant — life is not a walk in the park. Try to balance yourselves and find safety to enjoy the good bits.
This video on youtube depicts many of the very things this article brings out about the moral decline and wounds of humanity. It is a good meditation on these very things, when you see the panoramic view of the “progression of digression”.

So, the moral rot in the US boils down to sex sin? This is too narrow a focus, which itself is symptomatic of moral rot.
Where is the outrage at Americas vast military spending, its illegal wars, its suspension of habeas corpus, its torture? Where is the upset at American exceptionalism, and the self righteousness and pride that belief exemplifies?
Where is the outrage at America’a contempt for the poor, its greed, its lawlessness in international affairs?
American military adventurism is more dangerous than its addiction to pornorgraphy but american religion, itself so depraved as to exemplify american moral rot, either ignores it or endorses it.
When the Church is shares the national obsession with sex to the exent that that is all itr complains about we know that the rot is deep and terminal
