I guess you have to be a migrant or someone who is religiously or visibly different to have ever really come across a tolerator. My neighbour is one. He was kinda nice to us for a while- even smiled every now and then. But then we had an argument about parking in the common drive and he started with the Muslim bashing and telling me to go back to where I came from (I guess he means Sydney). See- as long as we were nice and quiet and polite and submissive and grateful he was quite happy to be our neighbour.<BR/>Think about it- what kind of things do you tolerate? Things that you don't like- niggling headaches, an annoying colleague, TVads- things that you would do away with in a minute if you had a choice!The Usual Suspecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217168765715088508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34457772.post-1163799470195147412006-11-17T13:37:00.000-08:002006-11-17T13:37:00.000-08:00It's "Dhil ragel WALA dhil 7aita"Meaning to have a...It's "Dhil ragel WALA dhil 7aita"<BR/><BR/>Meaning to have a man protect you, and metaphorically cast a shadow over you, is better than any protection the literal shadow of a wall would bring.<BR/><BR/>I am just being technical here, but yeah, they both mean the same bullshit really :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
