How would YOU define tolerance?

To me tolerance is the appreciation of diversity and the ability to live and let others live. I think its the ability to exercise a fair and objective attitude towards those whose opinions, practices, religion, nationality etc differ from our own.

Intolerance? Well I believe its the failure to appreciate and respect the practices, opinions and beliefs of another group.

Big topic, I know. Do you consider yourself to be tolerant? Can you honestly put hand on heart and say that you believe everyone deserves an equal chance. Dependant of age, colour, religion, size, ability ... ?

Would really love to hear the opinions of all.. Thank you.

Tolerance is setting limits. Everyone has there limit then they bcome intolerant. in some things i have my limits which are higher than most.and in other things i have zero tolerance. A lot of people i have met in my short life confuse tolerance with ethics, principles etc.
