And while we might now live in bubbles, we also did so in the past. We've seen similar things from radio, TV, news channels. When you look at the news reporting from newspapers, radio and television (news channels), there were already extreme bubbles people were living in. Both by country and factions within countries. I looked at the Gulf War reporting at the time it happened, it was extreme! As this was the early '90s, that was before the world wide web even opened for the public, people were dialing in BBS at the time, at best via ISDN...And if you think people were united at the time, you have the wrong impression. People were just as unaccepting of others as now, just about different subjects. The major difference between then and now is that previously only those with power were heard and now everyone can be heard, and that is not always an improvement as we're finding out now...I have no issue with age restrictions, I just want to make sure that lawmakers first implement the infrastructure to enforce those restrictions before enforcing new laws.</blockquote>
