You are deciding what adults can see now?
Americans spent $2.5 billion on online porn in 2003 (out of $10 billion total). Gambling was $4 billion in 2003. I am not sure what degenerate behavior is, as this depends on local standards (according to the US Supreme Court). There is also the issue that these (each that you listed) is an international type businesses, meaning that only a fraction of it is coming from US shores, some from various European countries, some from Asian countries, etc.

If you really think that this is bringing America down (as opposed to say outsourcing, globalization, unemployment, education, ...), there are probubly some other issues you should look into first! If you feel that you need laws to restrict what adults do on their own free time, that is your right! Just don't expect it to go over to well with others!
