I Have No Tolerance For Bullshit

To all the fascists, racists, homophobes and the rest scum of the Earth, wondering why people don't tolerate their bullshit and why they're not allowed to practice hate speech freely, even though we're supposed to be democratic:
[quote] Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [...] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. [/quote]-Karl Popper

It's been my experience that the people who shout loudest about intolerance are the first to mock my disability. From my experience.

@pianoplayingsteve that's hypocritical indeed

@HannibalAteMeOut Yeah, I don't really get mocked by people who don't go on about this stuff. It's almost like projection, or some sort of compensation for burying their own prejudices.

@pianoplayingsteve yeah. I agree. If you are so out in the open and so loud about it, then seems like you are the intolerant one. As we age and experience all life's ups and downs, you'll have some sort of intolerant or racist views. But to be one of the loudest sounds like people can't tolerate you and you know it.
Thanks Steve

@Midlifemale It's like this. Remember preacher Ted Haggard and his crusade against homosexuality? And then being caught doing drugs at a gay bar?
