Thread Name: BS: Jingoism or Commemoration
Subject: RE: BS: Jingoism or Commemoration
Yes, I find it objectionable yet still tolerate it. That is what being tolerant means. If you only tolerate the things that you like it is hardly tolerant at all is it? If I was not going to tolerate it I would have said intolerable rather than objectionable. I have even been known to attend religious ceremonies myself and will happily join in the singing if I know the tune. But it is my choice to do so when the occasion demands. It was not my choice to have it in my living room on a Saturday evening so I will not watch it next year. If that is intolerant then anyone who switches the TV off or changes channels when something they do not like comes on is in the same league.
