And you felt compelled to comment.

Youth will grow up and become bigots? ROFL!! I don't think that's ever happened before.Those "youth" will grow up and see the error of their ways.

You're welcome. And Merry Christmas.Thanks for the completely useless. " contribution."
Yes, because the ongoing trend is for each generation to progressively get less tolerant. :roll:
Hate for GW Bush is what started it. The left was so strongly opposed to the US striking back after 9/11 and convinced he stole the election from Gore. Ever since then, its been that way.

No they were not."The left" was opposed to the Iraq War,
No they were not.
The vast majority of objection to the war came from "the left." The Democrats in Congress, being spineless, cowed wimps in the first few years after 9/11, who voted for the war were hardly representative of the actual "left" in this country.
Sure!
Says you!
They were for it before they were against it huh?
iLOL
:doh
The fact is that the majority on the left were for the war when it started.So who was protesting against the war if not "the left"?

My bad. I left out "in the Senate."Well then, :citation needed:
I'm certainly not claiming the entire "left" was in lockstep against the war; I am saying that the vast majority of objection to the war came from "the left," so to speak. I suppose part of that argument is how you define "the left."
My bad. I left out "in the Senate."
Like the following Senators.
Biden, Reid, Clinton, Kerry, Schumer, Feinstein, etc...
Hate for GW is what grew the partisanship politics of today.This is a complete non-sequitur.
1. Hate for GW Bush started WHAT?
2. "The left" was NOT "strongly opposed" to the U.S. "striking back after 9/11." "The left" was opposed to the Iraq War, not going into Afghanistan.
Lol what?????

You know how Christians "love the sinner, hate the sin".....
I love the Christians, hate the intolerance.....
I think some folks have conflated the terms "tolerance" and "advocacy". I can dislike something, SAY I don't like it and still be tolerant of it. When I try to stop it... like, say, trying to get someone thrown off their job, I drift towards intolerance.
I totally agree. Which is why I say you don't have to accept (you use the word advocate) certain aspects of other culture, but in some cases you should tolerate it. This of course depends on what we're talking about and all the extenuating circumstances that surround it.
Yes, the first time I really cared about gay marriage was when the DC government tried to end a Catholic run charity in the district because they didn't support gay marriage. It was then that I realized that the gay marriage lobby isn't actually about tolerance, it is about conformity. As I have argued before, I would have no problem with the gay marriage movement if their methodology were not so destructive and their arguments logically clean and taylored to gay marriage only. As it is it is a sloppy, roughshod movement that does far more harm than good.
It's funny how Christians pick and choose lines from Leviticus. If it's in Leviticus and it makes Christians look bad the reply is "Well Leviticus doesn't apply anymore". Well until someone mentions Homosexuality.
