I am sorry you think I am uncivilized and have no table manners as evidenced by your LIKE to post number 41.
I thought you were above that kind of behavior and thought.
I also thought we were becoming friends.

Now i find you think i am uncivilized riffraff with no table manners.

The incivility posted was not mine, but you gave it a LIKE anyway.

Sorry to have tried to be friendly and civil to you.
Such as things are on the internet.

thank you for proving my point.

You show me where i have to support and agree with every activity that someone does?
you agree and support every action that someone may or may not do?

if you don't then you must hate how intolerant you are of other people.
you are so blinded by the hypocrisy that you can't see it.

You support gay marriage other people do not. The difference is that they can see and understand why you do. that is tolerance. even though they disagree.
you not only refuse to see their point of view but then attempt to demonize them for it. that is called intolerance.

it is hard to discuss something like tolerance when the person doesn't know the meaning of the word.

i have already stated that i am intolerant of some actions of other people. i am proud to be.

ludin,
This has to be the best definition of tolerance and intolerance i have read in recent history.
+3 points my friend.

So...if i got what you are saying.

Tolerance is accepting others do not think the way you do, but you let them go on about their way.

Intolerance is not accepting others think differently,.....getting offended by it, ......then demonizing them for daring to think differently than you.

This is how i understood what you said. Am I right?

It is what it is. No one made you give that intolerant and disgusting post a LIKE.
We are all big boys here, so no big deal.
I was starting to be friends with you though and am a bit disappointed you think I am like that.....uncivilized riffraff.
...and here i thought i was being rather polite.

no butt hurt, just hurt.

Yeah all you trump loving MAGA hat wearing folks are real tolerant when anybody kneels for the Anthem.....Sure

So the tee shirt that I posted - would you think that eveybody that wore that shirt was a racist?
Click to expand...

I would think that the person that wore it is an idiot and a moron not worth my time.
but i wouldn't apply that to everyone in say a MAGA hat.

so why do think it is proper to label someone something without talking to them first?
there are many reasons that people could have supported trump and not all of them have to do
with racism.

that is why paintbrush fallacies are fallacies.
 
Praxas said:
Nope, I have not proved your point. Cons went ABOVE AND BEYOND of intolerance by continuing to fight to make it ILLEGAL. That is intolerance. You don't even know the word you're talking about con. Maybe when you graduate high school you will. You kept trying to say how intolerant the left is when the right was the one trying to make gay marriage ILLEGAL.
Click to expand...

I know the definition of the word better than you. that is obvious.
Yep leftists are intolerant.
there is no doubt about it.
 
Ive never seen anybody wear the hat personally in real life and even the trump supporters i know wont wear the hat due to its negative stigma. So if they (the hats) started springing up around here i might ban the hat in my place of business too just to be safe and rational. Now if i felt the need id probably ban all political hats also just to be safe.

Intolerance is a bit harder to define. I am intolerant of different things.
Rape, murder, drug use etc ...

there are things/behaviors that i have hard lines set on.
again all people are intolerant of certain behaviors if not we would have a pretty uncivilized society.

where intolerance is an issue is what you just described.
when not only can you not see the other persons point of view but then
verbally (sometimes people physically) assault and demonize someone over it.

that is where you can no longer consider yourself tolerant. you are in fact the opposite.
unfortuantly that is where we are at as a society.

civil discourse went out the window a long time ago. the extremist were let out of the cages and changed the narrative.
no longer is it acceptable to disagree and have a beer. now the person either agree's with you and if not then you
launch an all out tirade, appeal to emotion and ad hominem attack against the person and berate them into submission.

if that doesn't work then you post it on social media and just go all out to drum up enough faux outrage.

welcome to the new dark ages.
no longer is reason allowed into a discussion.
it is who can drum up the biggest appeal to emotion fallacy.

There's no doubt ab out it, your comments are lying as usual. You don't know the meaning of the word and you just keep proving us right what we say about Trump supporters. You are completely intolerant and a hypocrite to boot.

I posted you the definition of the word. yet you still don't get it. The definition of the word isn't what you want to make up.
this is the actual definition of tolerance.

the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

I am sorry you don't like real definitions of words or that they get in the way of your meme. that is not my issue.
no where did i lie either.

i simply pointed out how intolerant leftists are by actually using real definitions of words.
So you tell me where in the definition is a lie?

Sorry you don't like actual definitions of words.
the whole point of tolerance is being respectful of other peoples opinions whether you agree with them or not.

if you can't do that then you are not a tolerant person. you are intolerant.
being intolerant isn't a bad thing depending on what you are being intolerant over.

I thought you supported Trump, and he's a racist POTUS who publicly supports the KKK and Neo Nazis, referring to some as "very fine people." If you do support Trump, why are you being a hypocrite in this matter?
 
PleasantValley said:
What turns my stomach is all the universal hate thrown at people who voted their choice, but not yours.
Therefore keep the hate active against them for as long as you can.
Just like that disgusting post #41 I quoted and commented about.
It was hateful and disgusting.
You can not claim any superiority in morality and manners of you make comments as disgusting as post number 41.

You hate personal choice at the voting booth, don't you?
Everyone should vote the way you say, or they become a vile and hated Trumpser or Trumpette, subject to comments like your post number 41.
Click to expand...

i have no hate for those that voted for Trump. No one knew for sure what we would get.

At this point if you support trump, that is different and we have a moral obligation to confront you at every turn.

These are the same posters who think it was wrong to end segregation and think it infringed on the rights of a business owner. Now that they experience discrimination based on clothing choice, they bemoan about the hate they shouldn't have to endure. Take a poll on these people. Most if not all support discrimination based on race and sexuality.

I don't have a side, I'm Canadian. I get to laugh at all of you... ;)

And if that's the case, you should be thanking them - after dropping them off in the more classy / less trashy pre 2016 era, you can take that same time machine and continue going back in time to whatever romanticized era you're talking about when engaging in your ritualistic Make America Great Again chants. ;) That would leave America empty today, which is awesome, cuz I want to steal your stuff.

When you try to make something illegal, you are not tolerating it so you only prove me correct that not only do you not understand the word you don't know how to apply it. I'm sorry your hypocrisy and lies are known now.

OK you can stop with the "paintbrush fallacy." If I have to hear you say that one more time, I'm going to hurl.

Secondly:

Because sometimes you don't have to talk to someone to know where they stand. Do you think that you could have a productive discussion on race relations with the guy wearing the "put the white back in the White House" tee shirt?

Maybe not all Trump supporters are racist, but all racists are Trump supporters. :shrug:

Then hurl away. stop demonizing people and then maybe you arguments will carry a little bit more weight.
when you want to label everyone a racist for wearing a hat whether they are or not then i have no problem calling you out on it.
it is 100% what is wrong with society today. when you do that you throw out any chance of discussion and or rational talk.

BS. there are plenty of racists that are democrats too they are just too high and mighty to admit it.
if this is your stance then you have become just as irrational as the rest of the leftist out there.

that is a shame as well. you use to be way more civil.

:lol: That is NOT what is wrong with society today. What is wrong with society today is that people feel that they can get away with wearing something that is nothing more than a dog whistle. He is encouraging this behavior, and you people are buying into it.

As far as the other, yes, you are right - there is no rational discussion to be had with a Trump supporter. None, and I won't even try. Nothing you (or any Trump supporter) can say will honestly, deep in my heart, make me believe that you voted for Trump for any reason other than you don't like brown folks. Originally? Right after the election, yeah there were a few that truly felt like he could do better for the country, but most of those have slinked away, mortified at what he has become, and what their party has become.

Don't like my opinion? Don't read it, but you won't change my mind.
