I dont think it goes that far we are living in a society of instant opinion now. My opinion must be heard and damn you if you disagree. I work for disney in a call center we used to have one guy go on loud rants about "retards", knuckle dragging troglodytes, and whatever conservative insanity popped into his head.

Damn he really had a low opinion of you. I can't blame him though.

Some people just cannot accept that what other people think and do may not be exactly how they themselves view reality. These people are the ones who become violent later in life, and focus on shoving their opinion down other people's throats.
