Anything goes!

Respect and tolerance, I must have heard these words a million times, but what exactly does it mean to be tolerant cause nowadays the understanding of tolerance seems to have changed, at least from my point of view.
While it used to mean that you will defend other’s, regardless of their beliefs, the right to express different viewpoints/opinions apart from yours, in to-days popular usage of the term, tolerance seems that it have been given another meaning. Tolerance appears to mean that everyone must agree regardless of what is, or was or even done as opposing and not permitted to state a comment/ viewpoint on the contrary without being accused of being wrong, such a thing would be considered or even accused of being intolerant.
So I guess this mentality that anything goes restrict a person ability to think and freely form an opinion for the sake of a healthier and civilized discussions.

Wave, A very well written blog and in some groups you will find people praising each other and agreeing on almost everything, because they are afraid to say otherwise, but individualism is best.

I say be your own man or woman and don't be afraid to disagree with someone else even if they appear to be a friend beer

Never loose sight of who you are and treat others as you would like to be treated yourselfwink
The problem is many people can't have a civilised conversation because they can't tolerate someone having a different view to theirs. You don't have to agree with it, you only need to respect they can have a different view.
Sure, Anything goes! After all, with every comment on here we're rather defining ourselves than somebody else.
Agree wavebox nothing is the same moping idea But to stay happy with yourself, be tolerant yourself, speak your own mind without fear, and be true to yourself DO not get upset by intolerant people they have their own agendas.
