Society itself has become a bully, like a diamond it has many faces. It's overpriced, its value is overhyped, and in the end it's cold and as hard as stone.
Society is a band of folks who don't feel adequate on their own to attempt a life, so they stir and attempt to create pros to make themselves feel better. They then try to kneecap other societies, groups, or individuals of those groups who are inferior to their self proclaimed pros. For instance, a working society will despise people who won't work, but people who won't work on certain goals because they feel it is immoral will be against people who work for slanderous or deceitful ends (IE environmentalists despising people who work at fur shops, pro life attacking abortion doctors). People who believe they have the right in relationships, because they do not wish to feel rejected by someone on an equal level, will begin imposing 'proper' etiquitte for how they have relationships. Some people couldn't get sex even with a bag on their head, so they use religion to say the sanctity of marriage is the best way. Since their religious sanctity revolves around anti homosexuality, they impose their fowl views on people just looking to share their love. Have you ever seen an anti gay marriage individual who had beautiful looks or a stable, enjoyable attitude or empathic emotions that made them worthwhile in any of those 3 degrees? The people who preach about the sanctity of marriage, often times, are people who are upset over not finding love for themselves at all without the societical views which band them together.
Rather than hating an individual or their opinion, people are upholding the fanaticism a group they are a part of or support have. Like a cult mentality, people will begin to become intolerant and infuriated at that which disrupts or disagrees with their ways. I have seen beautiful minds write stories that were captivating, to be torn down by people (not one or two, but an actual, set up group) who condemned stories that were 'too long'! For a simple amount of length, a story was condemned. It isn't stupidity, it's aristocracy. People's need to belong, or feel like they belong, outweigh common morals or decencies. Ironically, loners tend to be the most tolerant, but even they have views they agree with even if alone...and will become riled and fight for if stirred.
Because of this, I won't read replies to my posts (I seldom if ever do) because I will, by law of averages, disagree with some group somewhere I haven't even begun to fathom the principals of. You will, too, because somewhere, somehow, not knowing the answer to the question you asked will rile a group. This explanation will rile a group who is against the way I explained this. My grammar will offend someone who is a part of a group or supports a group who believes grammar is important.
There is justified madness in this country, because the insane have found like views and strength in numbers....and even the perfectly sane among us can become a little insane when it comes to trying to fit in or feel adequate.
I hope my post, though it may offend others, and probably will, atleast helped a few people who may not disagree with me. Please, by any means, don't outright AGREE with me though...sometimes groups of agreement is a dangerous thing :)
