Napartaq, I do not see a society that is growing up or maturing.  What I increasingly see is a society that is more obsessed with blowing up perceived and imagined slights out of all proportion, and wallowing in a self-indulgent and corrosive victimhood mentality in which every perceived offense (no matter how minor) is somehow a violation of rights.

Since when did individual rights include the right to NOT be offended?

I am blown away by the current exaggerated outrage at minor offenses, while major offenses (by the political and financial elite) are dismissed as "business as usual".  Clearly, our priorities as a society are well and truly backward.
