The fall of any society occurs at the peak of decadence
The question of course, is what qualifies as the peak of decadence. How will we know when our society has reached its apex of being soft, weak and ridiculous. What would replace our society?
Take the following story:

This would seem to indicate that we are getting close. When a 'dog psychology clinic' is sued by a wealthy patron (and you'd have to be wealthy to waste money on something as ludicrous as this) for damages due to injuries and emotional trauma inflicted on a dog - the dog required $25K in vet bills so far and needs more operations - well, there are so many things wrong with this that it becomes difficult to begin evaluating it.
$25K in vet bills? For what? Throat and leg injuries? $25K? A dog psychologist who speaks on TV?
Can we please develop nuclear weapons in Canada? I'd like to use a giant catapult to throw them into the US. I can just imagine the lawsuit for $2M plus legal fees for this one. ARGH.
