Well it really comes down to what is tolerance. If we limit the options we have, that's not tolerating other ideas or people. Tolerance is accepting other ideas and people.

Good example is the whole Danish cartoon thing. The difference is, that who is the one not tolerating? The people who get offended by it are the ones who need to tolerate the situation. It is not the others who are being intolerant in that situation.

Even more so when the pressure comes from outside the country. You are letting people, completely out of your realm, to dictate you what is acceptable and what is not, because if we don't accept it, you are being intolerant. How is that again? If we don't accept it, then WE are being intolerant.

This is the way of that country. So we must accept them or we can not accept them, but fi we don't accept them, we are showing intolerance against their ways. That's OK by all means, however don't blame the other one being intolerant.

This is a situation where outsiders are dictating your rights. And you are saying ok we kind of fought for these rights but we'll give it away. that's not tolerance. That's limiting your own options because someone else is being intolerant.

SO the whole scenario is when the tolerance issue is turned upside down and it's really weird. And tolerance criminals are all about ooooh what about their feelings? Yeah, so? What about my feelings? So how about we let these outsiders cry and create themselves their own intolerant nation, why should we stop them doing that, they can do what they want with their own resources.

So what we're really doing is being tolerant with the intolerant ones, as long as they are being intolerant against us. That's just stupid, and in the name of tolerance too! And who was being violent in that situation? Is that a show of tolerance? I don't think so. It was icing on the cake showing intolerance, but our tolerance criminals somehow screwed it up again.

LImiting options is not tolerance, accepting those different things is tolerance.
