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.
Really? Our society 200 years ago would have a gun fight over things today friends say to each other.

People would be hung on treason for things people do today fully protected under the same document used back then.

I am seeing from our leaders down to just the minions like ourselves that we are becoming increasingly less compromising and more filled with anger, hatred and intolerence.
When were they not? When we were expanding westward, and were encouraged by our leaders to massacre the Indian women and children? When governors of many southern states completely refused to integrate? When the dogs and teargas were sent on those wanting equality? How about when we were calling for a second war against England in 1812, when it was mostly about trying to annex Canada?

Sorry to simply state exactly what Ustwo said, but we're not reaching an all new low.
