Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 11, 2024

So the guy’s a “social justice warrior”?

love within limits

To be accepted by other, you need to accept them … blah blah blah.

That means you need to burn stuff down while still accepting them.

Arsonists should be hog-tied with barbed wire, and thrown into the fire they started.

A fire extinguisher needed.

At least the fire was apparently contained to Pig’s stand.

Accept others, except some.

Pig found a real hot deal!

This is the Paradox of Tolerance: If you tolerate those who are intolerant, they will destroy those who are tolerant. In this political climate, make of that what you will.

Why won’t you tolerate my intolerance?!

Some people just want to watch the world burn…especially if they’re holding matches.

Chef Paul Prudhomme?

The people who scream about acceptance and tolerance are the most intolerant people I have ever seen. PC fascism.

Talking Heads …. Burning Down The House ;-)

“The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them. Karl Popper describes the paradox as arising from the fact that, in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.” See Wikipedia Paradox_of_tolerance

The paradox of (in)tolerance

Sometimes you have to change yourself for the best.

Come on baby light my fire, maybe he is a Doors fan?

If your only tool is a match, all problems are kindling —Demagogue

And Punsters!Don’t forget the Punsters!

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire…

Should have been more specific about who to accept and who not to accept.

Not as bad as a certain cartoonist, though. :P

If done by the right people, arson is called ‘peaceful protest’.

Come on baby, light my fire. Try to set the night on fiiiiiiirrrrrre.

Intolerance of intolerance is no vice.

There was another tree right there…

Arsonists… not even once.

You can be accepting of others and still not approve of them.

S’mores for all!

I once dated an arsonist, but things didn’t work out – she felt I wasn’t a good match. I guess there was no spark between us…

Kind of reminds me of the Democrat Party

That was just mean :(

Tolerance has its limits. Or should.

Right time in History it would seem…..

There will be a lot of fires next year, and they won’t be caused by climate change

A synopsis of MInneapolis 2020.

I bet he goes commando too.

Do I smell bacon?

Accepting of others.. accepting of all. Two different things.

Mr. Rogers’ “I love you just the way you are” can only go so far.

Odd, the comic I saw in the paper today was totally different.

It’s one thing to keep an open mind, but another to keep it so open that your brains fall out.

The subject of Oingo Boingo’s “Only A Lad”.

♫ He liked to burn things! ♫

Yes, we do need to have limits.

No Pig roast jokes, Guys!

“I absolutely will not put up with intolerance.”

Wise choice, Pig.

Accept, except, two letters,BIG difference.

Sorry. I love ‘pearls before swine’, but this isn’t at all funny! especially to those living with the constant anxiety of the next wildfire or those who have lost everything to fire. Especially in California.

There’s an old Talmudic adage: “If you’re kind to the cruel, sooner or later you’ll wind up being cruel to the kind.”

yeah, some people ya just gotta keep at arm’s length… or much longer…..

Pyromaniac.

Everyone is intolerant to something or someone. So take your stand and be either Blessed or Dammed, but there ya are!!

Acceptance of others—on a case-by-case basis.

“Some men just want to watch the world burn.” – Alfred Pennyworth.

“I am the God of hellfire…and I bring you…”

Like that wacko for instance.

Pyromaniacs need love, too
