Tolerant, but not stupid!

"Tolerant, but not stupid! Look, just because you have to tolerate something doesn't mean you have to approve of it! ..."Tolerate" means you're just putting up with it! You tolerate a crying child sitting next to you on the airplane or you tolerate a bad cold." -- South Park


Whilst I hestitate to quote an adult cartoon show for much of anything, this quote strikes me as very relevent in our society's hyper-tolerant condition.

There is a list of 9 other relevent quotes for our society at this link, along with a little discussion of exactly why each one (and this quote as well) is very relevent today.
