Intolerance of intolerance itself is not intolerance.

I have never heard such a tortuous piece of sophistry in some time.

QF fucking T

I'm scared. For my country.
Racism never comes into it. The reality is that the "social tensions" in the cities are ethnically driven. The police chief agrees with me. Go figure.

As a seperate post, nor is racism stupid. I know many racists (believing in a hierachy of races). They're damn clever people. I don't like their views, but when you look at it, there's no reasonto suppose that in the course of human evolution, the black race for example developed superior cerebral capacity than the white one, which may have say ended upwith a greater propensity to grow tall (random based examples, ot implying anything). Certainly, its been proved, for example, asians have a greater capacity to music than others. Similarily, differences exist between all races- not just at the epidermal layer. So racism is wrong. But certainly not stupid.

Stupid people are stupid because they are wrong. I would contend, therefore, that your racist buddies are indeed stupid.

A racial hierarchy? Based on what characteristics? Who is at the top of this order? (lemme guess...)

Racial differences - we all know these exist. But they are so superficlal that anthropologists these days see racial differences as a cultural construct more than anything else.

I don't think that was sophistry, by the way. Yours was though. Intolerance of intolerance is intolerable? Come on...

I never said intolerance of intolerance was intolerable, but go on, explain why thats wrong.

He didn't say they couldn't believe that. he said they were fucking idiots. And he was most likely right.

As for freedom of speech, I'm all for you being allowed to rant on about how you think the Arabs are running around the Paris suburbs free from prosecution raping white girls on sight and simultaneously forcing the abortion rate up through their numerous wives... All you do is open yourself up to mockery. Which is fine. The recent Oxford Union debate which was hampered by protests against the appearance of Irving and Griffen was a great example. They should have been allowed to set out their stall and have the members of the Oxford debate team rip them to shreds for their unfounded and ridiculous views.

Good one. Just because I think they're idiots doesn't mean I'm saying that they can't belief that. Just as I can belief they're idiots.

I think people who believe the earth really is flat or that 9/11 was a conspiracy are idiots too.

Never thought I'd say this but...TOLERANCE, PEOPLE.

There are plenty of intelligent 9/11 deniers. I know a top phycisist and expert mathematician who I can tell you to knock you off your high horse is far more intelligent than most and denies 9/11. Equally I know people with philosophy degrees who are racist. Doesn't mean they're rightbut they aren't just stupid.

No they are stupid because they believe in it. Just because you're intelligent doesn't mean you can't be stupid.

But you've got my attention. Why is me saying that they're stupid somehow intolerant?

Yes, everyone can think or say what they want. But that doesn't mean you have to accept or respect what they say. Just because nappy says his racist friends are really really clever doesn't mean anything. They, and he, are still wrong.

Hey Snorri! He's talking about you! Only an idiot, who denies facts, can continue to believe buildings designed to withstand multiple airplane collisions, were brought down by one.

Explain THIS! You've been fooled, swallow your pride and open your eyes.

I'm just "wrong" am I. Want to specify anything in particular, or (by your non-existant moral standard) I'm just "wrong"?

Your very very clever friends are indeed wrong if they believe in a racial hierarchy, yes. And if you think they are right to do so, you are also wrong. And if you don't agree with them, they are surely stupid for not sharing your world-beating set of absolute moral values.

OK - if you would like to argue about this:
Please explain this 'hierarchy'. What set of values do you use to decide who goes where? Intelligence? Dick size? Running speed? Number of teeth?
Which race is at the top, and which at the bottom?

Napoleon Ier · Post by **Napoleon Ier** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 12:33 pm

Precisely, I do claim there are moral absolutes, i don't claim I'm their litmate dispensor, nor do I have he arrogance to pretend I believe anyone with a differening opinion is "stoopidz".

I was more interested in your thoughts on racial hierarchy. (Your absolute morality nonsense is now officially tiresome. As well as wrong.)

I dont believe in it.

The absolute morality is only tiresome because you have no answers to it.

Not trying to "convert you". Merely give you information so you can see what is really going on here.

I guess what I was really trying to do was show up the whole "intolerance" thing for instrumentalized political construct that it is.
