  • So by “no” you mean “yes”?

    …a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance. […] if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode or destroy tolerance itself through authoritarian or oppressive practices.






  • Steering’s on the right, people look British, pavement looks British, graveyard looks British, and “it is what it is” is a common trite, tautological idiom in the UK.

    That makes their neon crucifix in the windscreen illegal and likely to get them noticed by police.

    Edit: did some sleuthing; it’s outside All Saints Church on Church Road in Crowborough, East Sussex. Car is parked just west of the lychgate; photographer is looking north.

    This is a way bigger faux pas than an ignorable “hi” in my books. We’ve got tools for organizing a meeting. You can check my availability alongside everyone else’s, so we don’t spend three hours playing Calendar Battleships.

    Even if it’s just the two of us, don’t ask me to check my calendar because you can’t be bothered to.

    Totally agree – that’s why I park my truck in the right lane of the three-lane highway near my office. The traffic still has two lanes to use, it’s plenty of space.

    My neighbors in my apartment block have been complaining that I’ve filled one of the elevators with storage crates, too, but there’s another elevator and a set of stairs, so I don’t know what’s got them so upset.
