Thread Name: BS: When does tolerance become endorsement?
Subject: RE: BS: When does tolerance become endorsement?
There's no hard-and-fast dividing line.

So the question, incomprehensible as it looks, can't be definitiely answered.

next question.

oh, endorsement can come in positive and negative forms, like, positively, acting so the what might have been not tolerated is manifestly accepted; negatively, doing nothing; introducing a law one way or the other.

The tolerant response to intolerance is, i suppose, to say, carry on as long as no-one is being harmed or their rights infringed.

I suspect rights occasionally clash, so all liberty for all might be impossible.

On the other hand, if we were all Daoists (formerly known as Taoists, no, not Maoists), well then ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,all problems solved.
