Nobody can imagine tolerance to bombing... but you can imagine tolerance to sexting.
These cases are radically different. In the case of the clock, the "Justice" was not involved, there was no accusation.
- jMyles 11y agoI can certainly imagine tolerance to things that look like bombs or even that simulate bombs in every meaningful way other than explosion. "Zero tolerance" for bombs and weapons hasn't generally meant that bombs and weapons are not tolerated - that was already the case. Instead, it has meant that things that merely evoke the image of a bomb or weapon are met with intolerance. For example, I imagine you came across this story: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/08/28/school-allegedly-asks-deaf-preschooler-to-change-his-name-because-sign-language-version-resembles-weapons/ http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/08/28/school-allegedly-...
- weddpros 11y ago"things that merely evoke the image of a bomb or weapon are met with intolerance": I call it fear... The deaf boy story is amazingly stupid too. It seems to me we've put to many people in a position to restrict others liberties/rights, and now we pay the price of stupid "rules" or interpretations of "rules". When you give someone a uniform (it's an allegory), you give him power, which must be handled with care... and intelligence. I see all this as a lack of intelligence/common sense.
