re: Not allowing people to make mistakes - does it create a bullying society?

That's one of the things I do not enjoy about modern society. We pay for our mistakes, over and over again.
In some ways, America has been a forgiving society. Lots of people have been given second chances. But they are still never allowed to forget the first mistake. For those who never get the second chance - and there are plenty of them - the mistake remains their defining trait.
I'm so careful about what I say now on social media. Even here. Because I know eventually someone will hold what I say against me in some way. While it may not be bullying per se, it's definitely a form of pressure. It alters what I say. I'm not sure this hasn't always been the way of things, but we have a lot more opportunity to share our thoughts these days, and there's a lot more hazard in doing so.
