It's basic tolerance, it's not that hard. You do your job and collect your paycheck at the end of the week, same as everyone else.

- kbelder 10mo ago>It's basic tolerance, it's not that hard. That's right. To get a bit philosophical, it's interesting to see some people's justifications about how they are right to be intolerant in the ways they want to be, while still believing that they are free-thinking and tolerant. A lot of convoluted arguments are really about keeping one's self-image intact, justifying beliefs that are contradictory but which the person really wants to believe. I think that is a trap that is more dangerous for intelligent people. For what it's worth, I support and supported gay marriage at the time, but don't think people should be forced out of their job for believing otherwise. Thoughts and words you disagree with should be met with alternative thoughts and words.

- amatecha 10mo agoBad-faith putting words into my mouth. Take that shit elsewhere please.
- amatecha 10mo agoThat's kinda my point, this was already argued like 80 years ago. > Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.
