Why would these not be tolerated?
"I was driving down the road and this retarded ass lady pulled out in front of me like a bat out of hell"... oh, because she probably WASN'T actually retarded? *boggle*
I think tolerance is based a lot on individuals... I don't get offended much by people. I think this all comes full circle to Ali's first post and my first comment about it... words are only as offensive as you let them be!
