The Politics of 'TOLERANCE'..

tolerance:
a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, beliefs, practices, racial or ethnic origins, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry.

accept:
to take or receive (something offered); receive with approval or favor:
to accept a present; to accept a proposal.
2.
to agree or consent to; accede to:
to accept a treaty; to accept an apology.

See the difference. One is with consent, one is without. Why should I have to give consent to an action i find unfavorable? I will tolerate it as long as it does not directly affect me.

Man , i sound like someone else who always goes on about consent..

:mrgreen: i'm so glad someone said this^^^..however, that's the new faangled definition:

this is what america thinks:

Umm... Hello, Merriam-Webster... please tell me how the definition of Tolerance has changed so drastically? The Tolerance of a spark plug gap is plus or minus .010 inches... and the Tolerance of a resistor is generally plus or minus 5%... and the Tolerance of a piston cylinder gap is plus .002 inches... those are the TOLERANCE between what is ACCEPTABLE and what is UNACCEPTABLE. It is a measurable distance between right and wrong, good and bad, functional and broken... and in the human body, when one EXCEEDS THE TOLERANCE of the body's ability to process an ailment or a medication, THE BODY CEASES TO LIVE... NON-LIVING... DEAD... DECEASED. The same thing rings true in society... when behaviors, activities, or mindsets transition to the point where that society BREAKS DOWN, that is a BAD THING and society CEASES TO EXIST... that's called ANARCHY. TOLERANCE REQUIRES BOUNDARIES, or things break... so just because the Politically Correct agenda has transformed tolerance into a term of global acceptance, that does NOT fit the definition... no matter how anyone attempts to spin it.

- and - (guess there are others who see what i see)

I believe tolerance is a poor form of acceptance as it really isn't acceptance at all. Tolerate says I put up with you...I endure you, not I accept you as you are. Why would we encourage this attitude towards our fellow man? if you look at the definition and what it means, I would not teach this to my children; I would teach them acceptance of difference and a recognition that people do not have to be alike or like everything, but must treat everyone how they wish to be treated. (What human being would want someone to just put up with them???)

before the millennium tolerance really meant:

the ability to accept, experience, or survive something harmful or unpleasant.

capacity to endure pain or hardship.

the act of allowing something.

example:

a tolerance for other lifestyles.

by adding a special definition in order to describe another human being and their personal life (which is none of our fucking business) but not just any human being, only certain humans..can anyone figure out which humans they are referring?..i'm sickened!:finger:

You certainly aren't referring to a couple of Christian Irishmen trying to make a living selling pizza in Indiana. The full force of the media, and the nanny-state pubescents came down on them with death threats and finger-wagging for daring to have religious beliefs. It was a full-on tantrum. No tolerance. No acceptance. I doubt that sickens you, sky.

I rededicate this thread to @Pinworm.

It is federally illegal to use schedule 1 narcotics. They test you.

1. DD is an engineer (that's what he told me) which means he does math all day long..i don't think i'd worry about random testing.
2. www.urineluck.com

they hold testing over their employees head's as a way of keeping the peasants in line.

nobody knows who/what/when/where.

coincidence?

neigh.

no surprise to see you giving all of your sympathy to bigots, that's the type of attitude that got you invited to a white supremacy group, an invitation you accepted.

This is NAZI tolerance

It is not sympathy.It is respect of their opinion, Its called being a American,They have a right to their opinions and religious beliefs just as you do.
The problem is you do not respect their opinions and they have tolerance for yours,
YOU ARE THE FACE OF THE NEW NAZI PARTY, and wow is it ugly,
Now lets all stand up and say in unison while hand held in the air palm down,
HIEL OBAMAO HITLER,,ZIEG HIEL OBAMAO HITLER,

actually, claiming that it is your religious right to deny service to homosexuals has more in common with nazi germany than stating that all should be treated equally in the public domain because everyone has civil rights.

besides, you are the one who openly describes gays, minorities, and women as a type of 'untermenschen', meaning that you share quite the supremacist streak with hitler himself.

no wonder you get likes from people like desert dude, who actually did join a white supremacy group which was originated by actual holocaust denying neo-nazis.

but feel free to keep calling me hitler because i believe everyone has equal rights and should be given equal protection of the law.

WTF? wasn't it you that said people will go to jail for hate speech? now you say that you respect their rights?

apparently you reading compensation has failed you?

i said that i'd like to see hate speech be removed from the category of protected speech, just as i agree with removing scertain other types of speech from the category of protected speech.

for example, you can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater because it causes harm. hate speech causes harm as well, and it should not be protected like other forms of speech are.

but that has nothing to do with the fact that your racist, bigoted beliefs more clearly match hitler's beliefs.
