Born the wrong species

I'm still trying to square the phrase "tolerant liberals" as if tolerance is a bad thing. The alternative is in-tolerance. If we're choosing up sides, count me among the tolerant. Not everyone can tolerate. It takes a strength of character some people just don't have, sadly.

Tolerence is great and all but some things you shouldn't tolerate.

Personally, I don't care as long as the person isn't hurting another person. Who cares if dude wants to be a wolf or the woman wants to be a cat? How does that hurt you or yours?

It doesn't, that isn't the point. Is this man mentally ill and in need of help or is this a perfectly acceptable form of personal expression?

I can't help my mind from jumping ahead to the reductio ad absurdum, and all I see is nihilism. Norms can be oppressive, but their lack just invites chaos.

People who think they're cats cost the healthcare system BILLIONS each and every year.

Plus, they cost the taxpayer money because they shit anywhere and turn our cities into dumps! Look at Detroit or Chicago! Worse, they come here and multiply like animals, at the cost of hard working Americans who need to pay this with their hard earned money. This is a serious issue, folks!

Don't forget the huge hairballs all over the place.

Who made you the one that gets to decide what we should or should not tolerate?

 

[bradly1101]

Dude it's the old "I'm gay for..." A very slippery slope? I point out differences, look at me!

Where did I make any such claim? Nobody has made me the one to decide.

How far will liberal tolerance go?

Up to, but not including, shitting on my lawn.

But my vegan no glutton poo is good for your lawn.

This will only get more ludicrous before it is collectively rejected as utter nonsense.

Rejected on what basis? Show how they are causing harm such that something must be done to stop this.

What is there to tolerate? I don't care if the lady doesn't like water, purrs, and licks her hand. What ev.

How about when she demands her own bathroom with a litter box?

I concur whole-heartedly. Ignorance tops the list of things we shouldn't just stand around and accept. Intolerance is a close second. How's that for a paradox?

Seems like a money making opportunity. For every person that wants to use a litter box there are fifty with a fetish.

Tolerance is not a bad thing. Supposed tolerance that turns out to be actual intolerance is a bad thing. The vast majority of "tolerant" lefties are actually highly intolerant of anything other than their perspective.

But what if intolerance is actually a different form of tolerance? What if?

 

[PokerGuy]

How about when she demands her own bathroom with a litter box?

Yep, or when some business needs to be forced to accommodate her insanity the same way businesses are being forced to accommodate other crazies. Ugh.

To hell with knowing what "tolerant liberals" think of this (isn't the answer obvious? It's in the label you described them with!), I want to know what TH would do about this!

Up to, but not including, shitting on my lawn.

I have to agree with this. There's a local one-eyed cat (not a euphemism) that has crapped a number of times on our lawn.

And just so we're clear, I don't like that cat, not because of its disability but because it keeps crapping on our lawn.

And by "not tolerating" someone who believes they're a cat, you would want society to do what, exactly? Lock them up? Lock up "cat people," or everyone who has strange beliefs about themselves or others? And who decides which beliefs are "too strange" to be tolerated, and which warrant being locked up?

Small government. Riiigggghhhhhtttt.

I know what you're saying. I get it. The problem with being open-minded is that you have to be ok with closed-minded stuff. Right? Otherwise, you aren't very open-minded. It's like, I don't believe in hate, only love. Therefore, I should love those who hate. Since to love means "to support", to truly love we must support those who hate others. Let's aid them in everything they endeavor... including genocide.

We can play this notion of relativistic morality all day long... and still get nowhere because it all comes back to morality not being objective (no matter how much one protests it). The real difference between "tolerant liberal" and "intolerant conservative" (if that is the converse), isn't WHAT they think is tolerable... it's that with liberals, what is in-tolerable are exception and with conservatives, the rule. Conservatives go around trying to find others to be intolerant of, who have no impact whatsoever on their own lives. Liberals are intolerant of those intolerant people because they can't mind their own damn business.

It's like not believing in killing. Some people will make an exception if a killer insists on taking the life of an innocent. I can't say I know anyone who wouldn't kill to save a child from a killer (IF it was an absolute known fact that it was the only way to prevent the death of that child). Yet, I know many who are against killing. So, if comparing the killer of a child to one who would kill to protect the child makes them the same in YOUR mind, then I can see the confusion about thinking liberals are just intolerant of other things.
