We are seeing the same trend over here aswell all over society, people are less forgiving less patient. It is as if the whole society has woken up on the wrong side of the bed.
I agree, things has become very black and white noone want's to even acknowledge the existance of a middle ground.
Maybe it is not as bad here as it is in the US but still, it is a noticable difference from just a couple of years ago.
Part of it lies, I would think, in the political situation today. Leaders becoming more extreme (Bin Laden, Whoever is in charge over in N Korea, Bush etc. etc.) everybody is hardballing it and I would imagine that it spills over into the public.
Either you are with us or you are against us, noone is allowed to be in the middle.
People who speaks of peacfull solutions, compromises and understandings are being conciously ignored.
Why? Human nature? Political climate? A bit of both I would imagine, that and a sever lack of selfdistance, inability to look upon oneself critically.
People seem so wraped up in what vthey are doing they seem to stop wondering about what they are doing and why they are doing it even what the outcome of what they are doing will be. (Nuclear weapons tests in N Korea for example).
Wheter we like it or not the political climate of the world finds it's way into our homes and workplaces. Into ourselves.
