My (simplified) argument: all people deserve to be treated civilly in arguments, in the name of the tolerance that liberals claim to tout.

I see what you’re saying, and I can definitely see how I implied that only the left does that. I also got defensive in my reply for which I apologize. Being called a bigot all day tends to raise my defenses and see confrontation where there isn’t any.

Straw man. Never once did I defend the right.

Straw man.

That’s fair. I suppose that I was trying to make the point that he wasn’t a Donald Trump or any such sort, making flagrantly ridiculous statements that are deserving of equally ridiculous responses. His one problem was fairly innocuous compared to the reaction that he received in this article. Is that fair, or do you…

I’m not especially comfortable comparing this to African-American civil rights (long reasoning, I’ve typed enough today and it would just raise more controversy.)

Tolerance doesn’t mean we can’t argue about those differing viewpoints, but tolerance does mean that we have to be civil in our arguments. (quoted from my original post that you responded to.)

Absolutely. It’s a struggle to defend what you believe in while still presenting grace and compassion. I certainly oppose abortion (not by marching with protesters) but I’m sure my comments—no matter how much I try to express my compassion—have come across as hurtful to somebody else. I especially like how you phrased…

“Intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself” (Oxford dictionary) vs “Someone who can’t stand the fact that somebody else disagrees with them” (New International TheBattleTurkey Edition.

I get that. I get mad at plenty of issues on the other side of the river. I just can’t comprehend how quickly civility flies out the window in the name of justice. It’s even more laughable when people throw insults in the name of “tolerance.” I’m gonna pull an Inigo on this one and say that “I do not think that means…

Why thank you :) keep doing good work on here.

As a fellow Christian (although granted, on the more conservative/ traditional side of theology), nothing quite bothers me like people who don’t understand that I can disagree with somebody and not hate them. ;) I really appreciate the first part of your paragraph! God is certainly big enough that we don’t need to…

Offensive and hateful like calling Berkman a bigoted potato head and insulting his moderately successful baseball career? Because that was all from the author, not DeflategateGroupie.

But you’re civil about it. Which I respect. The article is bigoted, you are not. That’s the difference. You’re not making fun of his appearance or his career, you’re just making fun of his views. But you accept that he can have those views. See? This is how dialogue works. 90% of the comments here just don’t get that,…

So you are fine with people not being decent to other humans?

Although I would recommend watching the prequel version, I think it’s a lot funnier and more well done. Also, it endears you to the prequel trilogy a lot more methinks.

Shit. I’m really quite sorry, that’s a mistake on my part. That video creator did the same thing for the prequel trilogy (GotG for the prequel trilogy) and I mistook it for the video shown in this article. My bad!

“““models”””

...if this was a real trailer they wouldn’t have test footage of Liam-Gon Jinnson dropping his lightsaber, or Qui-Gon saying he would kill Jar-Jar.
