I think you are reading things into my comment that were never there to begin with. No need to go full pedant on me! I have heard of Christianity! :) Maybe you didn't read my original comment or why it was there? The conversation was about the Curse of Ham. Not a comment on Christianity, or its...

Still don't see it, but I will take your word for it!

Not really sure what you're reading into that statement. Glad to see that you recognise that no offense was meant, because there absolutely wasn't any.

Is that a serious question? Who is treating you like an enemy? It kind of feels like an attitude that perpetuates conflict to me. Your position seems a bit... militaristic. A bit black and white. Devoid of nuance. You're being a bit coy about what you're actually trying to communicate for some...

Hmm... it seems like you might be agreeing my original post, despite your reponse.

Separated. Two kids, one dog (Honey.. a toy Yorkie), one cat (a random ditch cat... Chico). So super messy... yet very friendly! Go figure. Like an American sitcom. I spend time with both kids (duh!), but my eldest and her (friggin) cat live with me. I used to work for a company whose sole...

I admire your kind heartedness. For real. It is my absolute favourite characteristic in others. I can't emphasise that enough. At the same time I would advise you to protect yourself from the over-easily heartbroken. You changed your life's work (perhaps an exaggeration, but still...) based on...

Errr... wut? You suddenly got much too clever for me.

Well done.

That's fine. What example do you mean?

I'm going to preface this with the fact that I have a great mind for trivia. Well, an okay mind, I've met far superior. But I know off the top of my head, no Googling, that Shem, Ham and Japheth are the sons of Noah. What I did not know is what you're telling me here. Without looking any of...

You actually are! I was simultaneously laying some bait for a reaction... you've just been caught in the crossfire.

You are actually one of my favourite people on this board. You're quite lovely, despite what @Steampunkette says.

Effing dogs. Lovely as anything, but super stupid. Get a cat. I'm kidding, don't do that, they're terrible animals. My eldest has a cat... we're frenemies. I say these things, but I'm sure there are pictures out there of us hugging.

I don't know what the anti-semitic business was about, and this is the first I've heard of it. This is not your angle even remotely, I give no credence to it. Yes, I'm aware of the certainty of your positions! I am also certain of my positions. Just pointing out the occasional juxtaposition...

Well, I don't know... your profile pic has you holding your chin in a thoughtful manner. Kind of screams cultural historian frankly. So I'm a Canadian, not an American. I'm not familiar with that pattern of thought either. Canadians in general aren't burdened with ancestral luggage... year of...

I hope not! There's been a 'certainty of righteousness' to your recent posts that intimate otherwise. I get certain topics setting one off though... been there myself. I have read your other posts in this thread, and am not ignoring what you've said. We're good. * fist bump *

Let me be a bit less opaque. Who draws the line in the sand? Who decides when it's okay to be intolerant? I have a different idea. How about (the general) you, as a person, treat those you meet as people? With their own foibles, needs, wants, insecurities? How about not looking for a pattern of...

I don't think you're appreciating the irony of your response here.

The paradox of the Paradox of Tolerance is that is a manifesto/excuse for intolerance when preached as a mantra or simple dictate, where kindness or consideration are ignored in favour of tribalism. For example, when you use capital letters to invoke it. Us and Them. Me good, you bad. Nothing...
