Being tolerant doesn't mean suffering through any ******** somebody throws at you. I don't see Katie doing or saying anything even a little bit intolerant.
You're right. Tolerance is lashing out when somebody does or says something to you. That's the exact definition that I just looked up. Awesome.
I also think that adversity is going through easy things.
I also think that going through a NBA preseason without playing the opponents starters tells you everything you'd ever need to know about a team.
I mean, if you don't face opposition, then you can can't really be tried, right?
What's tolerance if you act intolerantly at an opportunity to act tolerantly?
Why katie is being called out is because she of all posters has preached tolerance on this board. Yet, because she and beantown seem to differ on the opinion of homosexual marriage, she has suggested her be banned at this opportunity. She could have demonstrated tolerance and said, "despite our differences, I'll respect your opinion."
Instead, she took the easier/more predictable route, and suggested he be banned.
Great display of tolerance.
First of all, this thread has little to do with Katie. Katie didn't start this thread -- she just agreed with it. As did I, as did others. Why Katie is being singled out, with the notion that she is enacting some kind of revenge, I can't even imagine. The kind of tolerance I have seen Katie talk about on this board isn't remotely the same kind of tolerance you are attempting to sting her for not following. There is no hypocrisy here. I was raised to be tolerant of others -- people of other creeds, races, religions, etc. But if somebody flings **** at me, they're going to find themselves in a fist fight. That would not be an act of hatred/intolerance/revenge on my part. Maybe you haven't noticed Beantown's savage insulting mocking of Katie, I don't know. But his activities are clearly and obviously against the rules of this site, which is why I think it would be cool if he got poofed. Is my opinion, and my saying so, an act of hate or intolerance? ****ing absurd.
You're right.
The tolerance that Katie is suggesting is COMPLETELY different...
She's intolerant of Bean's opinions or beliefs. Labeled him a bigot.
That's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more different than Bean believing what constitutes as marriage.
I mean, both have differing opinions. But one should be tolerant while the other shouldn't be. In this case, lets be tolerant of katie's example despite bean's religious affiliation.
But katie doesn't have to be tolerant of bean because(even to the point of suggesting he be banned? Bean hasn't been that intolerant of her opinions)... Well... Uhh... because. duh... I am rubber and you are glue. My dad can beat up your dad! .......
And I think you're a myopic, crybaby, d-bag. Sorry, but I'm just calling it like I see it. If that line of thinking is ok for you I'm sure it should be ok for me. Right? As has already been said multiple times in this thread, if a poster bothers you so much, just use the f-ing "ignore" function. It's only one click away.
Exactly.
While we're on the topic of bigotry, I should point out that spade is a very derogatory term for a person of a particular ethnic group. If we've banned other words in here because they are offensive to persons of a certain gender orientation, we should consider banning "spade" IMHO.
I'm going to take a page out of some of your books and preach tolerance. I'll even display my tolerance by suggesting glasseater be banned.
LOL.
I too find spade offensive. Can someone get a warning for saying spade?
