[beowolfe]

What does a tolerant society do, when a portion of that society becomes intolerant? Can you successfully practice tolerance with intolerant people?

You must terminate the intolerant portion of society with extreme prejudice.

Yes. Tolerance has everything to do with your attitude and nothing to do with anyone elses. It doesnt matter what they do, you can be tolerant, if you choose.

But then i reject that tolerance is some overarching virtue that we should all be striving for in the first place. There are some things you shouldn't be tolerant towards.

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm pretty intolerant of groups or individuals lopping off other people's head's because they don't believe the way they do.....just something about that just doesn't sit right

Tolerance is the acceptance of evil.

Or torpedoing a ship and killing 34 American sailors and maiming hundreds more in a false flag operation designed to draw America into an Israeli war.

First you need a tolerant society.
Never heard of one so I can not answer you question

If you are asking about individual tolerance than yes, you can be tolerant among the intolerant.
Ghandi proved that. I myself though am not so good at being tolerant.

I am under no obligation to tolerate assholes who want me to join their club or, like, die.

Jews weren't mentioned, old sport, it seems you are the one who brought them up, not Lasher. You do, however, display the Jewish mind-set by immediately upon hearing criticism of Israel, link it with anti-Semitism. Why are you so touchy on the subject?
