Why are people so sensitive now?
It seems that you can't say anything without upsetting someone. No I am not conservative although if things keep going the way they are I may be pushed that way. Just by standing still.

Depends on context. I've noticed people speak in hyperbole a lot more these days.
You're a "nazi", this is a "disgrace", i've been waiting "forever", I got second place so i'm "depressed", someone made fun of me this is "oppression" i'm being "shamed".
I think people soak up the environment they're raised in, and people are used to complaining and getting pats on the back for it by other people who've learnt to complain.
It takes away from things that do matter, we need to be more willing to forgive possible ignorance and not want to attack or shame somebody for not agreeing with us.

@Argile3000 Self awareness and integrity matter a lot I think.
I remember getting into a heated arguement over politics with an old guy at a pub and we basically told eachother to go fuck ourselves.
Even though he started it, before i left I apologised anyway because it was stupid really/i think conflict is daft.
Couple years later i realised he had some points I couldn't see at the time, and he'd made judgements about me that weren't true either.
Moral of the story is, even if we don't agree on everything it might be because we're unable to see from our current perspective, and even so it's not worth fighting about.

All people make judgement about others. I can see how an argument would bring those out more. It's funny how you didn't think about his false judgments until years later while he was thinking about yours at the time.

@DDonde How about participation awards. Instead of awards for winning competitions. Same thing just less having to prove you are good at anything.
