Freedom From Offense

Merry Christmas Everyone!
If you don't celebrate Christmas and this offends you... get over it!

Life is too short for petty crap but i do have some questions...

Why is it "Tolerance" (and political correctness) only applies in certain situations?
Why don't Muslims and Athiests have to "Tolerate" Christian or Jewish beliefs?
Why is it that people who preach tolerance actually want acceptance. Don't confuse the two. Tolerating you and your differing beliefs is one thing. Accepting them is completely different.

Just curious as to the ongoing double-standards in suppossedly polite society.

Merry Christmas, from one more infidel.
