I'm looking at the floor, but you're on it. Attitudes breed actions. You allow NeoNazi sentiment to rise, AntiSemitic sentiment to rise, and then there will come persecution. Britain "Tolerated" Hitler prior to WWII allowing him to take "Lebens Raum". We all know what happened next. Tolerance to too extreme a degree is as bad as doing nothing. What's the quote?

"For evil to prevail, it is only necessary for good men to do nothing."

Sometimes Venus, you can't sit back and do nothing.

Am so not. I'm talking about me, not Britain, not the PM of Britain, and everyday situations. If someone's homophobic, for example, I'll try and show them the other POV, but in the end, if it's not gonna work, leave them to their own thinking patterns, as I would like to be left to mine. Actions are a different matter.

Perhaps. Though I do stress that it is important to take action where you can. Good men cannot tolerate hate, lest it spread.

Looks like we're both on the floor. Spread the love.

No, you're on the floor, which means I'm on top. But we appear to have wandered off topic.

Don't inflict your beliefs on other, yes, that's where we were up to. Is that still on topic?!

And in that vein, I'll tell you not to be sexist when I please. Besides, I was talking to Bose, not you, or the formation of gender of nouns over the ages or whatever .
