I'm the most f*cking tolerant person on here right, and anyone who says I'm not is a f*cking two-faced, ugly, flat-footed, ginger, homo with small bits, a squint, bad teeth and breath that would make a Hippo turn and flee.
Oh! The irony! :really f*cking annoying rolly eye icon:
I don't know if swinging is about tolerance or not, I just find it very odd that the people who so often claim that it is their central tenet to living and swinging, often show an alarming disinclination to actually act that way. Be it about fatties, skinnies, lefties, righties, upsies, downsies, fishies or birdies. Tolerance it seems only extends to those who share your views on any particular subject and that, to be honest, isn't particularly taxing, even for the small-minded and indescribably petty.
Ideally, there should be a respect for others views, whether the same or different to your own, but there is also an alarming lack of that too in recent times. Seems you can litter a post with any derogatory epithet with impunity. Simply add a ;
:wink for safety so I can accuse you of being humourless when you take offense: smiley
and it is alright. It's not your fault if people read it the way it was intended, because you can blame them for taking offence too easily, or that the mods have got it wrong (again, as they always do. Bloody fools...)
Poor Mods. No wonder they are clearly deranged. Why only yesterday I had to walk Nola home as she was wondering the streets locally, muttering under her breath and seeking advice from a higher being. Either that or she was hiding in the bushes again with that mini-gay Bloke at the Park. :winky for immunity from prosecution from the puftas:
The thing is, it does taint your view somewhat. The vast majority of posters on here are fantastic, clever, intelligent, fair-minded, sensible I Even include Witchy in that ;-). Even if it doesn't seem that way at times. They may not agree on everything, but they can agree to disagree without resorting to petty name calling, pathetic sniping posts and handbags at 10 paces.
I mean look at Splendid, she hates me, I can't stand her, but do we resort to name calling on here? No. We do it in PM instead and save you all the hassle and we meet in town for a good bitchslap fight once a month to sort it out. Then we share a pink-lady cocktail and go and beat up some Goths because they look a bit different and we suspect one may be Welsh and seeking asylum.
Anyway, I'd better go. I'm late for my ACAS meeting.
Love each other and the skin you are in folks. Unless you are Belgian of course, in which case I hope you are whisked violently into a Fondue and served with hot bread to ravenous lions.

but you forgot to also add the catch-all phrase "in my opinion" that some folk think grants immunity from any thought/sensitivity to others.
It usually precedes the final wink

rotflmao We should get badges made!
How can you hate someone you don't even know - excluding the bits people show in their online persona (which can be as far from the truth as it's possible to get). People who say they dislike fat folks - do they dissociate themselves from vanilla friends/family/life partners if they gain a few pounds? Unlikely. I try not to be judgemental, whilst also trying to remember that people have preferences, and not everyone's preference has to be me. If you're desperate for a shag, you probably can't afford to be too choosy, and if you're not, you can. There is absolutely no need for written posts on public view to descend to petty sniping and insults. What you really think can stay in your head.

Hmm I guess I may fall in there somewhere lol I am not going to spin a web of lies though! I am not that tolerant a person, wouldn't life be boring if we were all the same. I pretty much see things in black and white and I am not very flexible once I make my mind up on something. I can though agree to disagree and still communicate without problem with just about anyone. Probably why I keep out of the current affairs forum. I think there will always be a adversarial undertone in some of my posts on more sensitive topics, thats just me. I do however manage to keep much better wraps on it than I use to. If you trawl my posting history back in the early posts 4-5 years ago you will see some quite nasty and down right rude posts of which I am now thoroughly ashamed. Guess I am maturing like cheese! I smell worse but taste better :thumbup:
Why does this type of thread come around again? It invites someone to put their foot right in it by either having a go at someone else, or simply saying something completely offensive just because they feel its needed to make the thread worthwhile.

You ever call me sensible again, and I'll send the lads round, you fat, biscuit eating, football-loving wanker.

As for the rest :thumbup:
Yea tolerance is good.

And never forget the phrase used at the end of a post (or said in person).....
"No offence"

;) Look, no offence.
In my opinion, smile , I think having a rant at the ranters is a complete waste of time, innit. :)
If I want to post sumfink contruversial I wil, OK biggrin
But it doesn't mean I don't love you...
It means I really don't love you.

:smug:

*punches an imaginary fist into imaginary thin air in a Rocky-esque victory roll*
Disclaimer... a victory roll, isn't like a sausage roll and should not be eaten.
Has anyone ever had sex with an onion?
I mean it is a challenge I accept. Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea and perhaps a little depraved for some, but I think there is plenty of worthwhile information to be gained from it.
Can man and onion live in harmony?
Do we go equally well with cheese on a slice of bread?
Do onions cry when we are sliced?
(I don't mean Spring or Pickled Onions obviously, that would be perverse)
I think we should be told.
Sandwich anyone?

I'd do Donkey though I would be a little peturbed with him turning around every few seconds and asking me "are we nearly there yet?".

Only if you last longer than seven seconds... :-S :-)
Well, hard cheese, of course you'd want hard cheese cos soft cheese, is well... soft. :doh:
Not nearly so good for purpose as a good bit of Lancashire. :rascal: Smooth, bit of a tang and lovely on the palate. Why wouldn't anyone choose a bit of Lancashire?
Goldfish... that's who. Evil, you are correct.
Once upon a time I used to have a harem of goldfish. They took care of my cooking, cleaning,ironing and other household chores which I never seemed to get around to due to being busy all the time. Well, no more.
They went on STRIKE! Strike I tell you.
How very dare they.
Couldn't cross the Pennines into Yorkshire they said. Wouldn't be the same, they said. Something about being in a county that liked flat caps, ferrets and a completely different weather system. Said it would dry their scales out and make them a bit flaky.
Who'd want flaky goldfish anyway, they'd never get anything done. confused
I agree!! :thumbup:
see....... now no one particular faction knows who the hell Im agreeing with.....win-win situation all round (in my opinion wink )
all hail Dale Carnegie....maybe he should become our patron and make us all love each other lol :lol: :lol:

Ahhh... the old "flaky goldfish" argument. Straight from Engels that one I think. Or was it Wittgenstein? Nope, he was the arrogant chaffinch man I believe.
It is well known in carp circles (that isn't a spelling mistake) that Goldfish are notoriously fickle as to their surroundings. There are reports of several staging a mass breakout of an Aquarium in Sale earlier this year when they heard that the cost of strange underwater ornaments, that look like a skull, and bubble blowing mock-coral reefs was much cheaper just a short swim away. They took up residence in a squatters fishtank in Northwich and have steadfastly refused all attempts to move them on, even with the promise of some extra flaky fish food and a no battering guarantee.
Goldfish militance is a new one on me though, however I believe it is due to cross-breeding with the notoriously uppity Stickleback. Who can forget the terrifying Stickleback rampages of the 1980's inspired by anti-social Tory domestic policy and the fact that too many fisherman had frightening beards, alarming lack of social skills and a worrying tendency to get excited by large chub.
Send in Captain Birdseye, that's what I say. Teach 'em a lesson.

Aha, but if the intolerant are allowed to be intolerant by the tolerant being tolerant, then there is no requirement on the intolerant to be anything but, I'm only intolerance of their intolerance and when that intolerance disappears then we shall all be...happy!
