I am highly opinionated with a firm grip on the difference between right and wrong. I pay more attention to the candidates and the issues than to precise party lines. My facts are just that... FACTS- and my opinions are MY opinions- Regardless of what the subject, you can always find a good read on my blog, I write about various issues and not everything is focused on the subject of politics. I hope you enjoy!

Tolerance, Whining and Bull Dookey

April 24th 2009 12:29
I'm getting really fed up with the "tolerance" trash! O.K. I don't want to outlaw all religions other than my own. I don't want to force anyone to believe what I believe. But it's getting beyond ridiculous when a few whining jerks can force their will on others.

A snotty, smug little weasel of a man is representing 9 (NINE) whining parents and students who are "horrified" that the graduation ceremony is being held in the same church where it has always been held. The school doesn't have a big enough facility for the graduation and the church does. The ceremony is not religious in nature and none of the graduates or their families are forced to attend the church on a regular basis. But the whiners are demanding that all religious symbols be covered up during the graduation.

I have a better idea. How about if the 9 (NINE) whiners have their graduation ceremony somewhere more appropriate for their personalities? The local garbage dump leaps to mind! They can swat flies and hold their noses as the complaining students and their parents get the diplomas and strut their stuff. If they're so offended, they can have their own ceremonies, right? If they want to make a career of being "offended" by everything, they really need to find a better place for their complaints. A nice communist country might make them happy. They'd never have to be "offended" by religion. Of course, if anything else bothered them, like having no rights for example, they could just shut up and deal with it, right?

When was it written that a few whiners could have the power to make everyone else obey them? When did we get to the point of handing over our rights and backing down to keep from "offending" people who make a career of being "offended" by everything?

just to preface this comment: I mean no insult, and my comment is not directed at you (as I do not know your stance on such things)


It would be interesting to see the number of people who would complain if the graduation ceremony was held in a mosque.

If the graduation ceremony had always been held in the same mosque, Someone, why would anyone complain? I wouldn't. There is no law that says visiting a church, synagogue or mosque means that you have to convert. If it's the best place for a graduation, it should not be a problem to hold it there.

What makes me mad are the whining weasels who suddenly find offense in things and squawk their empty heads off.

Totally agree with you. Some people are in need of a good backhand across the face. If you can't talk sense into them, then slap some in!

Mostly because they like being "offended and victimized" moonglow. And Someone, I don't want to hit them... but it would sure be fun to shove a dirty sock in their whiny little mouths!

I don't think complaining about having a graduation ceremy in a church is what I would consider tolerance. Neither is covering up religious symbols. I do believe in tolerance. But I don't believe in white-washing the world of religion. That's not tolerant at all. In fact, it's anti-tolerant of faith and Christianity.

Hi Samaritan! It's getting bad when people have to invent things to be offended by. Religion seems to be the current target, doesn't it...

Hi SL,

I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday about environmentalists. And although we both care about the environment and think people need to speak up about it, it does seem sometimes like they just complain for the sake of complaining. And I think a lot of groups do the same thing. They need to find something to remind us all that they're still around.

Protecting the environment is a noble cause, samaritan. Following the insanity of Algore is as ignoble as you can get. We should be good stewards of the Earth, not lying hypocrites who waste energy in the attempt to make everyone else go without so some can become billionaires (like Algore).

We live in a democracy, where the majority rules if these nine in the minority let them just deal with it, in other words love it or leave it.
