The Holy Hand Grenade Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 He could have been a Deist or Pantheist... Your view of history seems skewed...at least to me... You ignored the matter at Hand, I was only making a point on how easy it is to do what you are doing, To let what party the person is in to define everyone else in it. KSG if you do not quit spinning i am gonna throw up my breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that any different that Buddy Lights' comments about African-Americans? You intolerance for those with different religious and political views—as well as sexual preferences—amazes me. You are a throw-back to the 1950s. It is no wonder that your great party is distancing themselves from voters like you. You are a dying breed, KSG.

KSG_Standard Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Tolerating the intolerant Philosopher Karl Popper's assertion in The Open Society and Its Enemies that we are warranted in refusing to tolerate intolerance illustrates that there are limits to tolerance. In particular, should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance? What if by tolerating action "A", society destroys itself? Tolerance of "A" could be used to introduce a new thought system leading to intolerance of vital institution "B". It is difficult to strike a balance and different societies do not always agree on the details, indeed different groups within a single society also often fail to agree. The current suppression of Nazism in Germany is considered intolerant by some countries, for instance, while in Germany itself it is Nazism which is considered intolerably intolerant. Philosopher John Rawls devotes a section of his influential and controversial book A Theory of Justice to the problem of whether a just society should or should not tolerate the intolerant, and to the related problem of whether or not, in any society, the intolerant have any right to complain when they are not tolerated. Rawls concludes that a just society must be tolerant; therefore, the intolerant must be tolerated, for otherwise, the society would then be intolerant, and so unjust. However, Rawls qualifies this by insisting that society and its social institutions have a reasonable right of self-preservation that supersedes the principle of tolerance. Hence, the intolerant must be tolerated but only insofar as they do not endanger the tolerant society and its institutions. Similarly, continues Rawls, while the intolerant might forfeit the right to complain when they are themselves not tolerated, other members of society have a right, perhaps even a duty, to complain on their behalf, again, as long as society itself is not endangered by these intolerant members. The ACLU is a good example of a social institution that protects the rights of the intolerant, as it frequently defends the right to free speech of such intolerant organizations as the Ku Klux Klan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolerance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
