While I agree with you, I also have a feeling every generation feels like they are the last normal ones. Isn't the trouble, though, in the perceptions of the things: sure some people feel freedom means freedom to insult, but what if I'm doing something that is interesting and good for me, but insulting to others (drawing cartoons of the prophet Muhammad for humorous purposes)?

Even more troublesome is that some people seem to think freedom means never having to feel insulted. It is messy.
