Do You Think We Are Becoming Less Tolerant In General As Time Goes On?

@jehova If everyone is a victim, they can’t be wrong. Instead, they need our tolerance and understanding.

@Adogslife sure but there has to be a limit. In todays world everyone keeps taking more and more. I WAS a victim i GOT help and stopped being a victim. Learned grew changed. In contrast much of the world gets victimized asks for and gets help but never changes. Plays the victim again and again continues to get help but never stops being the victim. Then complains goes bankrupt never changes and still claims victimization. Wtf happened?

@jehova Tolerance is becoming boundless. The “help” you speak about never comes with a quid pro quo.

Democracy, in its simplest form, is about majority rules. Now, the tail wags the dog.

We used to be a vibrant eclectic society - leading the world. Now? I believe we lead the world in obesity.

@Adogslife so in some ways we are becoming too tolerant and even pandering to some causes that maybe we shouldn't.

@Adogslife You're just confirming the generalization that all generalizations are false 😉

(Edit) - Notice, too, that 'we' may be the biggest generalization of all.

@ffony If all generalizations are false, then your comment serves no point, nor would the question.

“We”, in the context of my comment, refers to the US as a whole. The OP states, “…as time goes on.” As I am more senior that you, that’d give me a longer reference point.

@Adogslife You have to deploy your sense of humor and appreciation of irony, as well as paradox. 😄

Exactly : That IS the point - i.e. MY point 😉

@Adogslife ?? You say you're 60-69. I'm in the second half of 80-89. That may have some bearing on our ability to understand each other. As for having time to develop understandings of life, humor, irony ... I'm wayahead of you.

Why is it that so often people 'respond' to things that have not been said - or even to the opposite of what's been said?
