lmao at this thread being separated (Hi Stella). I won't reply, I was just wanting to know your limits on tolerance, if any. I think it's an interesting, and important, thing to think about.
Me too, that's why I gave the subject it's own thread. I didn't move it because I'm intolerant of hijacks
I think a view of the "tolerance/intolerance" issue can be compared a bit to the Liberal view of Conservatives and vice versa.........the Lib view being that the Conservatives epouse family values and yet some Conserves that do are involved in the exact behavior they may speak against.
Liberals are seen by Conservatives as espousing that they (the Libs) are tolerant of everyone (possibly because they are seen to denigrate Conservatives for being intolerant thus indirectly presenting themselves as tolerant or more tolerant than Conservatives) yet they come off as intolerant of those that hold differing opinions than they hold (Conservatives).
But there is a difference imo in people that have belief systems that may have low tolerance for certain issues ....because they do not claim to have high tolerance in the first place for these issues.
I don't think I answered your question w/the above though...so I would go w/tony's "tolerance of ideas/etc that aren't harmful. And when you disect those down, there are going to be even more differences of opinions as to what is and what is not harmful.
