For the most part, it's been focusing on race, sex, nationality, religion, political stand, personal belief, ect. What I want to ask is: Is there a limit to it? Should we be expected to tolerate everything that is different from us? Do we also have to tolerate things that offend us? I was watching something on TV about racists and it struck me that his beliefs and opinions are just as important as mine are. So shouldn't we be tolerant of him?

I, for example, was picked on a lot in my earlier days of school because others couldn't accept the fact I didn't like to talk to people I don't trust. There is definitely a limit to how much a person can tolerate, but it's almost infinitely better than society with a lack of tolerance.

Just have a look at how many different religions we have, and how less of them are accepted and tolerated as such. I mean, there are wars because of intolerance, simply because some people are not able to let everybody believe what they want. I define tolerance like that: *Tolerance is to let other people do what they want, as long as they do not hurt, disturb, insult others or cause damage to others. Those kinds of behaviour should not be tolerated.* As you might see, tolerance is limited to your own idea of tolerance. My last words are: If you tolerate other's intolerance, your are intolerant yourself.

I mean for example im English.....England is quickly becoming a very multicultural society. Ive kinda worked out that a multi "racial" society works just fine, but not a "multicultural"....everyone is opperating on different standards, with varying attitudes and values towards things. Long story short.......if youre going to be working and living in my country, you can speak our language. If youre going to bring your family here, then the women in your family should be treated acourding to OUR belief system. They shouldnt be forced to hide their face from the world and essentially be second class citizens. If they DONT move to our country, they can do what they want. Everytime we interfere with the way they opperate their country, we are slowing down their natual social evolution, and introducing more anti western phylosophies. As I said in the other thread....WE in the west were fighting over land an religion too, for thousands of years. But we socially grew out of it. 3rd world countries who are still fighting will catch up.......but only if we leave them to it. It sounds cold, but this means no giving money to africa.....no trying to "introduce democracy" to countries that clearly arent ready for it. Things will get better, but only if we leave them to their own devices. Tollerance is subjective. We can be intollerant in our country all we want......but intollerance of other countries, should not be tollerated

Google Chrome and Firefox	I think we need to look at the big picture when dealing with tolerance. In the past, people did not have to tolerate as much as people of today do. There are a lot of things that absolutely have to be tolerated, but there are other things that one has to draw the line. Those who have racial problems, gender problems, nationalty problems, etc. are usually people who are ignorant and do not have proper education. 3rd world countries around the world do not have the educational systems that United States and other industrialized countries do, that is why we have more tolerance. Ignorance is what causes problems around the world. Right now, leaving Africa alone would not solve anything. If we just leave Africa alone, you know what will happen? Everyone will die from AIDS. They do not have the resources to help themselves, that is why countries with resources have to help. AIDS isn't only effecting Africa, but it is effecting countries around the world. United States is blessed with resources, that is why we have to go around the world and help those who are less fortunate. Yes, there are countries who aren't ready for democracy, but there are people in this countries who are. I don't think it is a matter of tolerating, I think it is a matter of being educated and understanding all aspects of something instead of having a narrow view of it.

Sorry hotprichichi, but leaving africa alone is the only thing to do. Saying that everyone would die of AIDES is kinda dramatic and also a bit far fetched. Africa's political system is so full of corruption, no one is getting the aid money we're sending now anyway. If we cut off our help, all we would be doing is taking money out of the aristocrasies and governments. The people would not be affected either way. If we do keep pumping money at the problem, it will just get worse and worse. The people at the top getting richer and richer. The people at the bottom getting poorer and poorer..... And when the population finally get angry enough about it, it will either come to civil war (unlikely)........or africa will become a breeding ground for terrorism. You think the middle east is bad? In 20 years time, it'll be the african terrorists everyone is worried about. Mark these words.

A neighbour accidentally runs over your pet.It was the pets fault.Should you hat that neighbour?No of course not that neighbour is a good friend and bought you your favourite shirt for your last birthday The next day that same neighbour decapitates you.should he be forgiven.no.He just killed you.And got blood all over your favourite shirt.Talk about inconsoiderate of your feelings huh?
