Really? I had no idea that the OP was trying to make illegal for tea party members to get married. Has he also argued that tea party members should not be allowed adopt? Has he fought against laws that protect tea party members from being discriminated against in the housing or job markets?
No? He hasn’t done any of those things? You mean to say that the limit of his intolerance is he calls people who try to do those to him “assholes?” Wow. That’s not even remotely as intolerant as the tea party.
Hating on someone for their ideas is not the same as hating on someone for their nature. And calling someone names is not the same thing as actively working to limit a persons civil rights.
I’ve reached an age where I do not have to be “respectful of my elders” (even when they are fvcknuts) or pretend to put up with stupidity. If someone wants to be a bigoted asshole, it’s on them. If they can talk their shit, so can I - about them and to them.
Aww, how sweet! Someone finally showed up to make the idiotic “How can you be tolerant if you’re so intolerant of intolerance!?” argument. Score 1 for predictability and the moronic side of the internet!
Shouldn’t we practice tolerance diversity? Some people have a lot of tolerance others not as much, but unlike other characteristics that are fixed across one’s personality, the same person can demonstrate different levels of tolerance for different things. He may have boundless kitten tolerance but very low gecko tolerance for example. I think that the expression of high levels of intolerance in any one area is an indication of an essential lack of balance. Much like yoga can be used to redirect and balance one’s chi, tolerance diversity training can help to correct these imbalances and lead to significant improvements in quality of life. In my new soon to be published e-book I will describe the secrets of my patented technique. Pre-orders being accepted.
Are you actually proposing that there is a “bigot” gene? That you are genetically incapable of putting aside irrational fears? That, alongside “physically handicapped” and “mentally handicapped”, there is such a thing as “morally handicapped” that we should somehow compensate for in our laws?
Now you’re making sense! Let’s have them put up special stalls at Baskin Robbins so we can eat our strawberry ice cream without having to see those perverts sucking up the caramel.
We need thicker skins? Hey, you’re the one who’s got the vapors over the idea that someday, somehow, a gay guy might get a look at your junk. If you weren’t such a delicate little flower, we wouldn’t be having this conversation in the first place.
