I think that "tolerance" is crap. In out not so brave new world of Enforced Tolerance I find a huge wave of resentment building up and spilling over in lots of places.
From my perspective we should not be teaching and preaching "Tolerance". In my opinion if you are forced to tolerate something it breads resentment. Resentment build and builds and… well explodes in little things like hate crimes and race riots and bigotry and Jihads and lots of other ugly manifestations.
What I feel should be "taught", is acceptance and understanding. Education for understanding and acceptance of one another's differences.
Having said that there are some/many instances where that just does NOT work.
In this multicultural melting pot of a world everyone is just going to have to get over themselves a little bit.
I thought this was going to be such a profound topic… but it sounds ridiculous when I read it. I guess the point of this is that I am sick and tired of Political Correctness and the 'T' word being thrown around like it really means something.
Oh well… never mind.
