When he is offended by cartoons, that's when.
Some angry Muslims didn't like what the Danish cartoonists did and forced the newspaper to drop the cartoons. Now, supposedly, allegedly, "according to industry sources", one Scientologist didn't break into a chuckle over the humor on South Park and had the cable channel pull an offending episode off the air.
Is this necessarily bad news? On the contrary. Think of what this news item proves to us-
That people will not stop at anything to protect their religious beliefs (or whatever else defines their identities.)
That race, level of education, economic status, nationality, religion or even a dazzling, android-like smile are no indication of a tolerant attitude.

I am just worried about philip seymor hoffman. his dialog in the trailer is really corny!!
You say "race, level of education, economic status, nationality, religion or even a dazzling, android-like smile are no indication of a tolerant attitude"... and I agree with all of it, except that "education" bit.
Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that there's a V A S T difference between being educated and literate. Most people who can read and write and have fancy degrees from fancy colleges and speak with clipped accents are, often, only literate. Because education is different ball game.

You make two *very* good points. I agree with Ghost, too. Few people have the required level of self-comfort to really be tolerant of others.
Alok: the numeral 3 in the title should be adequate warning. Though Philip Hoffman is rarely bad....
Ghost, rest assured, I speak with a non-clipped accent :D
VB, I am tolerant of everything and everyone, except Tom Cruise. And people who drive SUVs.
Excellent, love it!
