Please stop being such a hateful person, because the next person you say that hateful stuff to might not just verbally confront you, and might use other means of confrontation [Read: beat the shit out of you]. Don’t talk to me ever again unless you manage to become a better person.”
Unfortunately true. Paradox of tolerance: Civilization can tolerate a lot of things, but it can’t tolerate the intolerant. If it tries to tolerate the intolerant, it dies.
There’s just something about ‘you can throw the second punch but not the first’ that Republicans can’t seem to get through their tiny little peanut brains.
