OK, this is in 3(hopeful) parts as LJ claims that I am being long winded. The irony of this in replying to one of your posts is not lost on me
David, well thought I would have a go. Before I start I would like to define what I consider tolerance to be. A tolerant person is someone who respects the opinions of other indiviuals as long as thoese individuals respects that persons views. This does not mean agrees with. OK here we go:
1) Which of the following do you have, or would you be willing to have, as friends? (Score one point for all that apply) a) Heterosexuals Well I know you b) Homesexuals/ bisexuals Hahahahahahha, self love counts! c) Fetishists Know em, love em, don’t necessarily understand em d) Islamic Fundamentalists Don’t know any, but this phrase is terribly misleading e) Jehovahs Witnesses Can piss right off, f) Convicted Theives Yep g) Abortionists I have no problems with the medical profession. h) Anti-abortionists Are Idiots. It’s the choice of the people who are invoved. Nobody else has any right to judge or comment. i) Racial supremacists/isolationists (any colour) (E.g. KKK, Nation of Islam) Scum. I refuse to accept the concept that someone is lesser than anyone else on terms of race, creed, political view, sexuality or nationality. Exceptin people who don’t stand their round (or in certain case Yorkshiremen). This may be one of the few things that I would get into a fight over. We have a great tradition of tolerance in this country and I am proud to associate myself with that. j) Lancastrians The Toast! The Queen k) Trainspotters Keep me employed l) Conservative voters We live in a democracy. Deal with it m) Prostitutes Each to their own n) Pimps Are unnecesary. Legislate o) Drug Dealers see above p) Satanists each to their own q) Southern Baptists As long as the word Bigot (caps on purpose) aren’t involved see above r) Scientologists Nutters s) Vivisectionists Hard one. I trust scientists (fool that I am) and know a number of individuals who have had this term applied to the, They are dedicated men and women who are doing work to improve the human condition in terms of diesease and knowledge . They do not cause suffering to animals for unnnecessary reasons nor do they take pleasure in experimeting on animals. Their work will, I hope, cure a number of diseases and conditions and bring a greater understanding to science. So I support them. And to threaten tem or their families with violence is wrong. t) Intolerant People (Your definition) Anyone who is willing to intelligently state their point of view in a logical manner without refering to hearsay or religion I am happy to debate with. Otherwise sod off.
2) Which of the following governmental and economic forms do you consider acceptable in the modern world? (Score one point for all that apply)
a) Democracy You voted for it, you got it b) Dictatorship (Communist) No c) Dictatorship (Military) No d) Dictatorship (Religious) No e) Monarchy God Bless Her Majesty (in a multi demoninatial way, of course) f) Free-market Capitalism Yes (it’s a myth, but lts let David have his dreams) g) Socialism (International) Hahahahaha, Ok prove it h) Socialism (National) see above. Theory Good, in practice doent work
