Made this for a group on FA with a message the world could use today; To each, their own.
tolerant-furs
It does not matter what taste we have in art, or what we do in the privacy of our room to the pictures we look at, but what matters is that we are FURRIES! And as furries, we must stick together and support each other; it's a dangerous and ignorant world out there.

We're talking about sex in psychology currently, and part of that is homosexuality. The book teaches it as it's not a choice, but a biological thing (it's in your genes ;o (bad pun, I know ;o)). Anyway, some girl was freaking out because she hated how much the book talked about gays/lesbians. I would've spoken up, but I'm a wimp when it comes to talking at all =\
I have to agree with my teacher that being gay/lesbian should be more of a 'ok, how does that affect me?' type of deal, not a 'OMG, you're GAY/LESBIAN?!' thing though. I can see why it's a big deal to gays/lesbians to want to tell your friends and family, but I think some make it WAY too big a deal and that's where some social rejection comes from. What I'm saying is that we don't need to be marching down the streets in boy-toy leather gear singing "it's raining men" to try and get respect and tolerance. I'm not accusing anybody of doing so, tis just an example (albeit extreme >.>).

lol, I should mention that later that day in study hall, the study hall teacher (whom also happened to be the psych teacher) was complaining about that girl and that psychology takes an open mind which she didn't have.
Also, I love your avatar. I saw it and started bobbing with it, but I digress.

I know too many people who abuse the "Tolerate all" rule both in this fandom and outside of it. I learned that tolerance is earned, not freely given out. Even then, it's more of a "I respect you but not the shit you're in" kind of thing. It all comes down to what it is that is in question of toleration. For lack of a better example, cub porn. The people who view it could be nice people, but that won't prevent me from saying "This shit is screwed up guys". There is no such thing as a person who can say "I tolerate everything", not even you. It's just the truth of the matter, because some people can be just too stupid/sick to deserve it.
That's more along the lines of "Pretend it doesn't exist" and turning a blind eye to rather then tolerance. Tolerance is acknowledging that something exists and accepting it for what it is. I suggest a name change to better fit the intentions of this group.
But anyways, you obviously don't have a clue about what I was talking about. I was saying that a lot of people use this group to basically give them a free pass to do w/e they want. To force what they like down other peoples throats. And if you disagree with them "
tolerant-furs Hey! Look at this! I'm tolerant to everything here, be tolerant to me." The group has good intentions, don't get me wrong, but what I'm saying is that a lot of idiots abuse it.
