I've heard the new generation say that shows like Friends and Seinfeld are not really tolerable because of how offensive they are.
I disagreed with that thought at first, but after rewatching many episodes, I could see that from a first-time viewer in an era where it's less accepted.

There are all sorts of extremists out there.

There sure are. I prefer Tolkien to Rowling. His mythology seems to me to be more grounded in actual spirituality and historical beliefs, hers seems to be merely symbolic window dressing.  But then, I haven't read her books, so maybe they're better in that regard...

Personally I'm more than a little weary of the whole PC, easily offended thing in our society,  left or right based. But then I'm a guy who can listen to Rush L one day, and NPR the next and find merit (and disagreement) in each...
