What say you?

Most of what passes for tolerance today is not tolerance at all but actually intellectual cowardice. Those who hide behind that word are often afraid of intelligent engagement and do not engage or even consider contrary opinions. It’s easier to hurl an insult than to confront the idea and either refute it or be changed by it.

Actually discussing anything is frowned upon in today's society. Some have lost the ability to think critically and reasonably discuss an issue. This seems especially true with the far right and far left. It is hard to discuss anything when the person you are discussing with will only talk about how they "feel" or about extreme cases. If you don't support unlimited abortion for example, "Oh my God, you don't care if a woman raped by her 3rd cousin is forced to give birth to a baby she doesn't want." Until moderates speak up and bring some reality back into the discussion, the extreme views of right and lift will continue to dominate. There can be no tolerance.
