Yeah disguy, Tolerance sure is crummy. I mean, with tolerance, you get people that live differently than other people. A tolerant society will be filled with people that have widely varying perspectives and differing views. It would be flexible and willing to change with time instead of rigid and unbending, or "stable". I sure wish society stayed the same forever, where women were happily repressed and we were allowed to hate the reds and them cotton pickin blacks. I'm tired of tolerating thier freedom of expression and equality.
We shouldn't have to tolerate immigrants or homosexuals. I'm not all that comfortable around left-handed people either. I hope that someday the only people that affect me and interact with me are those in my "in" group- white middle class christian families with two and a half kids. How dare tolerance attack my traditions and habits.
etc and so on.
The point i'm making is that just because we did it before doesn't mean it's better than what's happening now. Culture and society should change, not stagnate. The fall of the roman empire was a fall into decadence(no change), then finally a growing economic pressure from greater asia collapsing the rapidly crumbing romans.
