Are People More "Thin Skinned" than Before?

People to seem to take offence too easily, I think.

The latest is Woopie Goldberg, she has been suspended from
her own, shared, TV Show because she made a statement about
the "Holocaust", she said that it was, "White on White", which is
true, as Germany at that time were all about the perfect human,
he/she had to be white, blond, blue eyed and in good health, so
the Jews would also be at least white.

Another example, is a college in Cambridge University, are trying
to have all reference to a benefactor who bought shares in a slave
trade organisation, not a great lot, but some and donated the profits
to the university, who dedicated the college to him.

The same college is accepting hundreds of thousands of £££££
from China, the country that is rounding up all Muslims, I can't
remember their name and sending them to detention camps a
bit like the prison camps during WWll, only with more brutality
added, there they have to attend "Classes", to be reeducated
into something else.

A Chinese tennis player has disappeared after going public about
a Government official who abused her.

Our descendants have changed beyond recognition in my eyes,
they are picking fights with history in many cases, instead of
getting on with life and building a life.

Yes I believe it.. and it's clear they definitely are, I name them the permanently offended..and god help us all from the Permanently Offended...

I think it started with social media tbh, people could sit behind a keyboard anonymously and start acting offended over every little thing, we even get people doing it on here... I've met people that regardless if you say the sky is blue they will be offended because you didn't say it was another colour... , and now it's rampant..
 

I recall the priest sermonizing from his pulpit,there is no way he would get away with his spiel these days…try telling people they are going to burn in hell…purgatory was a place to think of your sins..and so on..someone would get offended or surely demand to be told their hell would be more luxurious! Not making light of things, but I am fed up of hearing he or she must apologize for so much as uttering a word.
 
Welcome to the world of the perpetually offended. doesn't matter anymore what its about.... if your belief or opinion doesn't match mine
Then you can't voice it because it offends me... even if its the truth...
POINT.... someone (who I know) filed an official complaint against an ER Doctor for telling her she needs to lose a bunch of weight, or she will continue to have health problems.... In her late 40s, and was over 350 lbs... within a 2 years had a heart attack, and open heart surgery...
still mad at the Dr, and still fat....

it's beyond even slightly amusing these days. Once we'd have laughed it off, but now these permanently offended are becoming dangerous in many cases.. people are losing their job, because of them.. people are being arrested because of them..., it's got to the point now we daren't even joke with people outside of our own families in case they take offence and report us for something , it makes me so mad tbh...

What the heck happened to freedom of speech ? 😧
 
You still have it... as long as no one gets "offended" by it...
and they do... I've had people take offence at things I say..when they've shown no sign of being offended in any way, in fact had what appeared to be an enjoyable conversation with me.. ( in real life).. then I hear through the grapevine that they've accused me of upsetting them, when nothing could have been further than the truth.. .. ..makes me wanna spit tbh..
 
It just seems so many people lately are just looking to fight about something ... anything.
Not sure why there is so much anger, but it is definitely out there.

I believe social media and forums like
SF are being used by a new breed of mischief-makers intent on dividing us for little more than their own pleasure.

I see that also.

In our present time the world is in a new era. We are are all anxious about the present and future, and rightly so. We are not sure about what to do to get the world back together. So, we are arguing about everything to fix it, and rightly so. It is a mess. I do not foresee this changing anytime soon. What bothers me the most is what our descendants are inheriting.

anxiety/fear = fight or flight....take your pick.
