A dilemma.

[Dave Reynolds]

I have no tolerance for intolerance.

What does this make me when compared to a freeper?

:dilemma:

1. Compared to a freeper?

A good human being.

[Dave Reynolds]

3. Thanks, but

I find it odd to harbor feelings that I cannot stand in others.

I think I should have beers, and ponder this.

2. there's a comparison?

no comparison :)

:hi:

[Dave Reynolds]

4. I was wondering,

because they are the most intolerant pieces of crap I have ever seen.

The fact I can't tolerate their intolerance made me wonder if I was just a flip-side of the same coin.

That's it, tequila shot time....:hi:

5. That's the argument repugs use.

According to them we're supposed to tolerate even those who are intolerant of others. If not, then we're being hypocrites.

But what we're intolerant of is people who would choose to opress others. That position is not only not wrong it's commendable.
Once again the repugs with their faulty logic try desperately to control the debate.

6. Good explanation,

I had been lurking those "other places" and feeling irritated by some people's total disregard for others.

Time for tequila shot #2.

8. Thank you!

Standing against oppression is no vice but a virtue.

Have one for me.

:toast:

10. Hell, I'll have two!

And then probably fall out of my chair...:thumbsup:

7. Never worry about being intolerant of fascists. Why should you have...

...to apologize for being intolerant of fascism?

[Dave Reynolds]

9. It made me feel hypocritical,

something I see and find distasteful in right-wing shitheads.

I should know better.

[Robeson]

11. Fascism has no place in human evolution. If thats hypocritical...

...then so be it.

[TheProphetess]

12. I share your dilemma

But we're right, of course. ;)

[Maddy McCall]

13. Intolerance is the only character flaw I cannot tolerate.

It certainly doesn't make me lose any sleep.

14. Different but similar

But definitely better. I'll take you over them any day of the week. Plus you're welcome to come over for dinner and they aren't even welcome on my porch.

The tolerance vs. intolerance thing can be a perfect semantic trap for libs.

Try situational ethics on a freeper, same thing. They hate it, revile it, but it defines their beliefs.

Cultural relativism is another one.

These are all what I call mindfuck arguments. And oh boy can they be fun :)

Khash.
