So, if tolerating the intolerant is intolerable, would being intolerant of tolerance be tolerable, and if not, why would tolerating the tolerant be tolerable?

Ah, but it is. The definition of intolerance has nothing to do with the object of that intolerance.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Saudi's are intolerant ??? Way to insult 28,000,000 people. The regime may be intolerant. However, if i had said Americans are warmongers, when really meaning the government are, i would probably be infracted.

Maybe you should choose your words more carefully.

No, because it's intolerance that you're being intolerant of.

Maybe, but you seemed to have muddled through that complex thought to the end game. I was of course referring to the society not each individual person. hence the "a deeply intolerant people" part.

The violent mistreatment of women, is enough to make any sane person ask, how tolerant the majority of the populous can be?

After all they let this happen.

Well by that logic i can say the America people are a warmongering, imperialistic, exploitative and cruel people and that would be fine ? You let Iraq and Afghanistan happen, Vietnam, Korea, The Bay of Pigs, the Embargo, the kidnap of Chavez, the murder of Lumumba, the coups in Guatemala and Chile, you started the October crisis. Are the American populace responsible for all that, or are the leaders ?
