Do you tolerate the intolerant?

Poll - Total Votes: 8

Of course! The whole point of tolerance is... well... tolerance

No, I am in the right, so there's no need to tolerate someone I've decided is intolerant

No, so feel free to treat me with intolerance, since, by my own admission, I am intolerant

LOL those choices aren't biased or anything.

ImperialAerosolKidFromEP · 46-50, M

@Pherick funny you should say that. I believe it was a comment from you that applied the bias

Pherick · 41-45, M

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP I doubt it, but you do you.

ImperialAerosolKidFromEP · 46-50, M

@Pherick it comment was that the intolerant should not be tolerated, then compared it to tolerating the Nazis. Was that you or one of your tolerant confederates?

Pherick · 41-45, M

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP So you are saying we should tolerant Nazi's? I am not sure you are going to find a whole lot of support on that one.

Its really not that hard. We should not tolerate the intolerant. All that does is empower those who want intolerance. I know its a little complicated, but work through it, you will get there.

ImperialAerosolKidFromEP · 46-50, M

@Pherick no, actually I'm not, but it's also funny you should say that, too, because it's easier to make a case for a Nazi being tolerant than someone who explicitly admits to intolerance

Pherick · 41-45, M

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP Nothing is really funny about this, but again whatever floats your boat. Tolerance of intolerance has only ever been preached by those who want to practice intolerance.

The rest of us understand that there are ideas in this world that are too abhorrent to tolerate. We fight back against them as we can.

ImperialAerosolKidFromEP · 46-50, M

@Pherick a creed carried by everyone else who is intolerant

Pherick · 41-45, M

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP The problem with your premise is that you assume all people who are intolerant are equal. They are not.

As I mentioned there are ideas in this world that should never be tolerated. No matter what those who say "Why aren't you tolerating me" say.
