I think that's okay to ask for respect whenever you feel ofended by someone or something, but I feel that this is getting way too far with people's (over) sensibility. Don't know if you get the idea of what I'm saying but it's really annoying to deal with people like that
If I post I don't like to do/eat/play something, then someone will immediately feel I'm attacking them and start arguing and making a discussion out of nothing more than an opinion (I'm talking about giving opinions about something not insulting people for what they do or think)

Don't know if you agree with this, but I really want to know if you feel the same or it's just me. Let me know your opinions Wink

Because nowadays this new generation didn´t had the discipline of the older ones

Because any fracture in the conditionning of the hive mind will compromize the all. So rather than adress the potential fault line they will react against the messanger rather than the message making the fracture or asymetry between reality and it's perception only wider and the collapse funnier:).

Its human nature. Perhaps what you're noticing is the fact that we now live on a planet where, compared to the past, many more people, and all types of people, have a voice.

What I find funny is that there seem to be discrimination on what can be offended. I mean, just say the word "Islam" and you'll have even LGBT people harassing you, same with "black", but when you say "white" and Christian, it seems it's OK to offend them all you want.

I'm not white nor Christian but I find it hypocritical that these supposedly warriors of social justice don't find it offensive whenever those two concepts are attacked.

LOL, hilarious. Dilbert almost always have a grain of truth into it that they manage to make funny.

Inherently discriminatory belief systems will inevitably lead to discriminatory behavior (reactions). To help myself with overcoming being [over] sensible, I keep on asking whether it keeps on making sense in a logical way or not, if I were to momentarily try (and succeed) to put aside the belief I foster about the issue being discussed. This of course, is a task not easily accomplished, but well worth a try. Wink

Good for you. Glad you are on your way to a more mindful existence.

Hi OP I do agree with you. There are a lot of sensitive people as well as insensitive ones. But every joke that we make should be regulated I mean, joking someone mean offending them for some, and so when you restrict a joke it does not become very funny at all. This is just an example. Every words we say became a little bit more of an issue. Every words posted, became a negative image of the poster and considered as an insensitive people. People think too much and makes everuthing complicated nowadays.

Every person needs privacy, that's why it's so insensitive of you, if you talk about someone's personal life in public. It's like that you're stripping the person in front of the crowd and it's really offending, ya know!

I think it's the effect of staying to much on social media. Since social media sites like facebook, twitter, etc. became famous almost all people became judgmental and triggered easily. It's just like they're over using their freedom to speak their own minds. Just like when you post something stupid, and someone would say something good or bad and even some people would even argue because of other's comment. This kind of attitude that they do on social media were sometimes carried out in the real world when their dealing with people personally.

That can be true but I think the the reverse is the bigger issue. People are more fearful and prefer not no interact in person anymore. This tendency to be fearful and offended easily is the same reason for why people create their screen interfaced virtual world and spend their time on that. Both ways are true, your idea and my idea, in my opinion.

I think it's because people are becoming sensitive, short tempered and narrow minded nowadays. Well, maybe it's one of the effect of technology and social media. People are becoming lazy, they get easily mad whenever they get bothered. Because of social media people tend to criticize and judge things that are not within their scope.

Blame it all on the PC culture. Sure, decency is at least expected in public discourse but PC has gone so far that the mere mention of things they deem offensive and you immediately get labelled various unflattering titles. Everything should be open for discussion.

The only "safe space" needed is a space where anyone can share their views, whatever those are and no matter how offensive that seem to others, provided they are not attacking anyone personally .

Quote from: Sithara007 on July 31, 2017, 08:16:08 PM

As long as it doesn't crosses a certain limit, no one must be declared immune to criticism. Even heads of state and religious leaders are not immune to criticism. But the targeted party should also take it in a light way, rather than killing everyone who criticize them (just like what happened with the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists).

I don't think there's any way to NOT offend those. Our very existence as NOT them is offensive enough.

Some people are just close minded or even get affected by things easily. I mean if you were offended you really deserve respect from the people who offended you. That's how things should go. But, in our generation now, people look at them as if their high and almighty. People are swallowed by pride. Some would even get angry instead of apologizing if they commit mistake.

because freedom is an illusion and it's in human nature to be offended and act and sound different so they can look unique

Its because some people are close minded and they have forgotten to just smile or laugh at it if it does not a big deal at all. It isn't really necessary to share your opinion as long as it does not concern you but for little things, we should not just react and argue later

Well because theoratically speaking, it seems that people might think you are just draghing some attention along or just asking some kind of sympathy and attention among readers. Well I do to sometimes when it is already nonsense, but I don't actually speak for it or comment anything, I just keep it within me and just don't mind, everyone has its own business, so for me as much as possible I don't want to interfere with it.

I understand where you're coming from! People nowadays gets easily offended by personal views and beliefs. It's like it's so bad to have an opinion and we should just all not believe in anything. It's ironic thought how they mask it with what they say respect, but hope they would also respect other's views and not take it personally! Where has this overly sensitive emotional state came from anyway? We all have rights and emotions are valid becaue it we have different experiences and backgrounds. But hey, being offended in almost everything blurs out the line between what is right and wrong. Hope we soon get back to being rational and balance out these emotions.

I feel you bro i guess this is the cause of watching to much Tv drama most of these people are teenagers in todays age you can't even post a thing cause some people might get hurt. They may think high and mighty of themselves and doesn't accept any opinions from others as long as they see it as wrong. They're more like drones that can't think logically i guess after watching to many dramas in televisions they were also influenced by it then made their life look like one unknowingly. Some cause of this is social media, people has been treated nicely in social media platforms and if something goes against their beliefs they immediately get offended by it.
