While it may be a stretch to call this generation the \u201csnowflake\u201d generation, there is a palpable sense of change pervading the world right now.<\/p>\n
While this is a good thing in some instances \u2013 after all, some things used to be regarded as the norm that has no place in modern society \u2013 there are others when one can\u2019t help but feel that we\u2019re going a bit too far with our urge to police one another.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nOne Oklahoma liquor store found itself at this crossroads after putting up a sign that sparked outrage\u2026<\/p>\n
While we all want to live in a world free of bigotry, hatred, and bullying, I believe we can all agree there is a distinction between stamping out legitimately unpleasant things and acting upset to produce drama.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pretty usual for people to be \u2018outed\u2019 on the internet for anything they\u2019ve said or done. It only takes a few clicks to become the contentious center of an internet storm\u2026<\/p>\n
Midwest Wine and Spirits in Oklahoma discovered this after posting a sign in their shop window that read, \u201cPull your pants up or don\u2019t come in.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTry to have some decency and respect for others,\u201d the notice continued. Nobody wants to see your undies.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the surface, it doesn\u2019t appear to be so objectionable. They\u2019re not directly criticizing any single group or discriminating based on political or religious beliefs or anything else.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, several people were outraged by the sign and the store\u2019s belief that they had the authority to tell others what they could and could not wear.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nIt wasn\u2019t long before the sign was uploaded to the internet, where online debate could continue. And they did not stop there.<\/p>\n
According to sources, the spectacle rapidly went viral. One of the store\u2019s managers, Chad Gilbert, defended the sign, stating, \u201cI realize wearing pants low is a fashion statement for some, but it doesn\u2019t work for me, and I find it somewhat offensive.\u201d<\/p>\n
A store employee said, \u201cUsually when people come in with their pants sagging, it\u2019s easier for them to steal bottles.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sunshine Weatherby, a neighborhood client, said, \u201cI can see if it was like a church. There are families there, which may bother you, but this is a liquor store. Worse has happened in a liquor store.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
It\u2019s becoming increasingly easier to believe that individuals nowadays can find a reason to be offended by almost anything. While it may be a stretch to call this generation the \u201csnowflake\u201d generation, there is a palpable sense of change pervading the world right now.
