The quizz itself starts out as intolerant and bigoted.

Nice job.

The more I read threads like this, the more I realize that "tolerance" is so much hogwash. The people who profess most vehemently to practice it are the most intolerant of all.

The irony just kills me.

ETA: But I'm sure this is just my intolerance/religious bigotry/hatred/racism/sexism/homophobia/closed-mindedness speaking.

That site is blocked here. What does it say at the beginning?

What you are talking about is "agreement" though.
Tolerance is allowing different opinions and beliefs that you yourself do not hold. You TOLERATE them. That doesn't mean you celebrate them, or agree with them.
Just like I tolerate you. I don't like you or your trollish behavior here on tweb, or your smugness. But I tolerate the fact that you have a right to your own opinions, and can say what you want within the bounds of the rules on this site.
Tolerance is not about agreeing or celebrating with someone. It is putting up with them and their views EVEN THOUGH YOU DISAGREE WITH THEM.

Tolerance is definitely not agreement but it ought to lead to civilised and open discussion particularly of problems that go across religious and other boundaries.

It is for the looney left!

but it ought to lead to civilised and open discussion particularly of problems that go across religious and other boundaries.

SHOULD, yes. And I'm VERY tolerant, except when those who claim to be tolerant are anything but.

So, it is intolerant to call someone a bigot and a homophobe then?

You seem to be glaring at me in an intolerant way.

No, that's a MOCK glare... you're just intolerant of ALL glaring.

Yeah

The fact is FF, tolerance is a one way street with the left and with you. You bias is evident - you don't believe in diversity or the ability to "rub along." You are as closed minded as any Fundy...

I am appalled to think that you find me closed-minded. Can you give me an example of my intolerance that is not just an opinion that you disagree with? Anyone can join in.

Really? This is worse than I thought!
