Are they more accepting because the times have changed or because, due to social media and the internet, they're faced with the ugly truth that no one is pure enough to meet their lofty desires?

It's because they value politicians that align (pander) to their pet issues above their own stated moral values. Tl;Dr- because they're fucking hypocrits.

Winning matters more than morals to them, they've learned.

Possible the only way they are leading the opinion. In a world of total surveillance we really need to separate the official and the private else the spys get way to much power...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him !
