Today is the United Nation's "International Day for Tolerance". Obviously, anyone who's against such a day is - by definition - intolerant. And, intolerance has no place here or elsewhere, and will be extirpated as soon as it is spotted. As Our Leader Kofi Annan is fond of saying, "in our globalizing world, tolerance is more essential than ever."
This site would like to stress that our Mission Statement - as approved by a plenary of our member states - has issued its complete support for this Day, and that the only thing we're intolerant of... is intolerance! And, mean people.
This site is also working with NGO (non-governmental organizations), political officials, cultural leaders, and other interested parties to ensure that all persons celebrate this day fully. We are currently working to ensure that school curricula throughout the World teach the principles of Tolerance, observe this day as the landmark in Human History that it is, and require all schoolchildren to recite the Pledge of Tolerance every day.
We encourage every Person to print out and keep in their wallet, purse, satchel, kilt bag, fanny pack, or similar ethno-cultural-specific container the thoughts of St. Maarten Cultural Affairs Commissioner Louie Laveist:
"I am very concerned with global trends in the rise of intolerance, extremism and racism... Our island nation is a multicultural society which makes us rich due to this diversity. Each and everyone who has made St. Maarten their home must strive to uphold the principles of tolerance, pluralism and mutual respect for a peaceful coexistence. Those who are not able to abide by the aforementioned have no place in our homeland."
Now, let us sing.

Tolerance is just a code word for Mass Murder of this nation, ask is that word understood by the drug dealers of the third world?
If we use that word let it be used as a way of life for our own people, we are the most tolerance people on earth and see what happens WHEN LAWS MEAN NOTHING AND YOU GET 40 million enemies living here waiting to take power and make us into a hell on earth, that is not tolerance that is madness.

Is intolerance to tyranny o.k.?, religous extremism? global-corporatism? invading other nations (yeah, you, mexico). And before you think it, no one asked my permission before invading Iraq, either.

No problem generally with tolerance, but for specific cases I'd first like to know what, exactly, I'm supposed to tolerate.
