Tolerance isn't enough for Hollywood's leftists

I think homophobe more so defines someone who is afraid of accepting it rather than actually being afraid of the person.

If someone calls me homophobe, bigot, politically incorrect, or whatever... I don't care.

If someone says "you're a homophobe". I say "Yeah. And?"

How is that label going to influence my daily life any different than before I was labeled? It's not like these people are paying any of my bills.

For books I have a more nuanced, sophisticated, intellectual approach. But for movies (where i costs big bucks to get in and have some popcorn) I have one simple criterion.

A good movie has a good, guy, a bad guy, and a girl. AT the end of the movie the good guy has the girl, and the bad guy is dead.

The more the movie deviates from this standard, the less I tend to like it.

Too simplistic? OK, I'm an extremely tolerant and laid back individual. Waste your own time and money.

The tolerant person occupies neutral ground, a place of complete impartiality where each person is permitted to decide for himself. No judgments allowed. No "forcing" personal views. Each takes a neutral posture towards another's convictions.

That in itself show intloerance for the person who has convictions.
