the society of nz is everyone acting on a low level of thought and not even trying to agree with each other.

TR – you might find it hard to believe but not everything is about you and what you think.

Felix – thank you for moving the boundaries of tolerance to suit your self, you self indulgent twat. i see your spin, but the fact remains that what i said is what i said and there is nothing your spin can do to make it seem otherwise. with the mental power of a bernina sewing machine, you really do point out the fact that most of the bigotry and discrimination lies on the left of the political spectrum. fucking peasant

Tighty,

If you don’t like someone because of their sexuality, you’re a bigot. It’s a very simple test.

It’s possible to be a bigot who doesn’t voice it openly (although you’ve blown your cover pretty well in that regard) but it’s bigotry nonetheless.

As for your last statement (about not being a dick about it) you failed that test abysmally when you went on the internet and typed “IT”S NOT FAIR THOSE HOMOS ARE LAUGHING AT ME AND I CAN”T LAUGH AT THEM”.

And finally, as you still can’t grasp what a dirty little corner you’ve painted yourself into, you’re still a moron.

it actually appears to me that this a song which says fuck you to anybody who doesn’t like their sexuality, not just being a bigot about the whole thing. not liking something but adjusting an attitude to live with it and be happy, and being a dick about not liking something are, as explained elsewhere, sometimes two completely different things. hence you simple little person, why you are wrong. peasant.

Tighty,

If you’re offended by a song which says “fuck you” to bigots then you either have a low threshold for cuss words (which you clearly don’t) or you’re a bigot.

And if you needed this explained to you (which you did) you’re a moron.

So yep, based on your own words, you’re a bigot and a moron.

If one believes, as many claim to, that tolerance is an intrinsic good then it follows that tolerance of domestic violence is good.

I know it’s a long bow, but it also illustrates one of the tensions within the Left: tolerance vs action when should we simply accept others and when should we act to change them?

It’s a thread through the left which I suspect was inherited from the old Christian left, and one hears the same tension within liberal churches, to what extent was Jesus preach tolerance and acceptance, and to what extent radical action?

Anyhow, I am way off topic here, but it’s an interesting ideological debate (for another time )

Anita – Tolerating Sexual and Domestic Violence is a completely different kettle of fish. to try and link tolerance of a persons sexual choice and domestic and sexual violence is drawing about the longest bow possible. in other words, weak.

Acting on bigotry is worse than being a bigot but not acting (i.e. “tolerance”), that is still far worse than not being a bigot.

I’m honestly not sure I think that tolerance is a virtue, for far too long NZers have tolerated domestic abuse and sexual violence. IMHO people need to have a moral compass and act on it. If you believe domestic violence is wrong then act to stop it every time you see it.

to be honest i don’t care either way. it’s not for me, and thats fine as plenty of things aren’t. tolerance of something that you personally don’t like should be congratulated not sneered at by the thought police. telling people off for tolerance, thats a new low.

I don’t want to get between you and felix, your cussing war is definitely adding value, but

To say you are “tolerant” of something means that you dislike it but put up with it it is actually the language of bigotry with a thin veneer of self congratulatory smugness.
