:confused: What has happened to our good friend named Tolerance? :confused:

I can't believe all the stuff which is written on this forum! Seriously, it hurts my brain to read some of this incredibly stupidity. Some people go on about how they are really good people and do as much as they can to help people. Then however, they will go on to say how gay people are evil and if you are Arab we are going to come and shoot you. Personally, I don't believe that anyone in the entire world is completely one hundred percent tolerant. All these people that come on here and spout out this rubbish are quite annoying. I actually wish someone would find these people and teach them the definition of Tolerance. Better yet, why don't I do it?

tol·er·ance n.
The capacity for or the practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs or practices of others.

WOW! Was that hard? Please, please listen and please, please heed me: Shut your stupid traps and learn something before inflicting pain on us.

You're new here, aren't you? :D
Tolerance does not exist on this forum.
Wild generalisations, total ignorance of the subject matter under discussion, complete refusal to face facts, utter inability to understand or use the English language, stupendous moronical ranting, enormous bigotry, and extreme stupidity - those are what threads are all about.
They're quite fun when you get used to them. Just don't take anything anyone posts seriously (unless it's a mod warning). :p

Through an odd and somewhat ironic twist of reality, I find that just about the only thing I cannot tolerate is intolerance itself. Hmmm...

Not to mention Tact, and Patience. Forgiveness has also left as well as Understanding.

Did the mods forumban them? or were they just forgotten? :(

It did exist at one point then we kidnapped, tortured, and killed it then buried it somewhere where it could never be found again.

Sadly Tolerance was shot multiple times not that long ago.

Government officials found Tolerance half burried in a shallow grave, their conclusion was that no one cared enough to finish burying tolerance and just left it behind for the rats.

The police shut the case, nobody cared enough about Tolerance to bother finding it's murderer, though they held the suspect (based on the number of gun shot wounds) that at least some three-hundred people were involved in the crime and that tolerance tried to approuch them even as they shot.

Well I am new here as a matter of fact. Though, it always annoys me: why do people not research what they talk about? I don't intend to write posts and make myself look like an incredibly stupid moron. Though I'm sure it is hard to find reliable information. That is why I believe people should look at things from more than one perspective and make up their own minds (However small and narrow they may be). We even get taught to do that in History at school over here. We have to do an internal assessment looking at the perspectives of different groups/individuals. It really isn't that hard! Look at the New Zealand Prime Minister (If I ever see another person write Priminister, I will find them and then call them stupid.) She doesn't just use "left-wing ideas" (Although I don't really believe there is anything such as left or right-wing because that is 1D and I, for my own self-security, need something more than that) She takes a mix and it is working very well at the moment!

They don't research it because they don't have to. Plus its more fun to read the uneducated view when you need a good laugh.

So what happened to Acceptance? I like him better anyway.

He was hanged and impaled. No one ever actually did see what killed him first. But the murderer was caught and held for 15 minutes.

Well I must say, I do get a laugh here and there. Though I am usually laughing at people because I am seventeen and many people here are adults and have the same intelligence of a computer (That is none for any stupid people out there).

Maybe I am being intolerant here. Maybe I should tolerate stupidity :) It appears as if it will not be leaving anytime soon.

You got it right that time. I should know being here so long. Stupidity will never leave here so long as the uneducated stay here. (I like that word today...Hmmm must be because i'm sitting here in school drawing for cad)

Nonono they have much less! Computers can, after all, do binary ... most people on here can't count up to 10 on their fingers!

Well I am not arguing that this stuff doses not exist

The research part …

Lets just say that any source can be questioned and is

The problem with forums … once you make a post it is OUT there people have essentially an infinite amount of time to either find a flaw in logic … your source… or your wording. And sources can be put forth to prove almost anything (there are people out there that would argue the existence of “up” hell I know I would if it was entertaining enough)

Yeah people around here can be non tolerant but a lot of it is them being online in a very loosely controlled setting (not a dig on the mods … but unless it is truly flame or flame bating they allow it … and that’s how it should be … freedom of speech until it becomes ridiculous)

Ok I know I am babbling but see my point?

I mean with your post out there I could pick apart things like “stupid moron” are there smart morons? Or would stupid be enough of a descriptor …
See your argument is out there and we are free to pick at will … its not like a voice convo where things are fluid because it is rare to get someone that memorizes your whole statement … then picks it apart word by word … and has a LOT of time and recourses (the internet) to contradict it

Dangers of 'Free Speach'.

Well, at least everybody here is honest about their remarks.

Yeah as much as I disagree with some points of views arguing with them is probably the more interesting part of being on here

And the more intolerant they are … the bigger target they usually become :D

UT - to answer one of your questions, yes, there are such things as "smart morons". Most of them are in government, a lot are in top management, and the remaining few are in public relations. :p
