the nature of words...
it has come to my attention that their is an popular misunderstanding as to what
"Tolerance" means.
to Tolerate something is to (in my world) not hate the person or persons that are doing or liveing the lifestyle that you disagree with. or at least to not act upon that disapproval (its their life and thier risk not yours)
to Tolerate is not to like or approve of somebody’s desicions for the sole sake of "being Tolerant" each and every person is allowed an disenting opinion.other wise thats just being PC which is an very pink thing to do...
there is an diffrence between tolerance and politeness as well, being polite is an basic societal nessecity. one that is increasingly lost. but it is dam hard to be polite if you are intolerant and this is an fine way to tell if somebody is an jackass :)
tolerance is important...
part of politeness is not FLAUNTING ones life decisions in an attempt to annoy or otherwise make an "Square" particularly uncomfortable. thats simply inciteing proplems. "my right to swing my fist stops at the other guys nose" is the same as my right to be an (insert whatever flavor of noncomformist lifestyle you choose here) ends at TRYING TO PISS OFF OTHERS WITH IT. just by being weird you do an good job of annoying the square you don’t have to rub your freedom in too.
anyway just thinking
