As a matter of fact.it is so good,so it should need some time of thinking before answering this,but I´ll give it a try.....
Tolerance,assuming towards other´s...,is that within my own,personal belief system?
Maybe,depends how we look at "tolerance"!
I´m not tolerant against many thing´s,-political systems,melting pot,PC,MC and all other social constructions,-but towards humans,-I´d say yes...
What we give,is what we get,-simple as that!
That,however,doesn´t mean I´m going main stream,-I´m not tolerant,because I´m told so,-I always make up my own mind about thing´s,-no matterwhat the media tells me...And by doing so,and criticising,I´m often called intolerant....
My folks taught me to love and respect,but since I was told this,-society has changed......
AtwoZ: Hmmm...another good one,can this be for real?

Good answer!!As a matter of fact,I read some science about that just recently,-in a Swedish mag,-and they said the same......Can´t recall when though,but you´re view is probably,according to these anthropolgists,true!!!

Being honest, tolerance for its own sake, depends on the mood I am in, the situation I am in, the circumstances surrounding the perceived need for tolerance and whether or not I personally feel like being tolerant.
thank you minnie,your most welcome,please feel free to give input. ideas are what drive the world to better,and more efficient means to deal with a more,and,more crowded planet,sometimes it takes only one word to change a whole scenario.have a great day

I'm tolerant of many things in my life,but I like it to be a two way tool.
It's difficult to be tolerant of those who chose not to understand you,yet we have to have the forbearance to try to understand why they are so antagonistic and stubborn.
There is a huge gap in the market so to speak due to religious factors, colour, wealth, the list is endless.
Yet in the same token we all bleed, so we all should be more tolerant of each other. Less attack,less wars.

wellput young lady,i know from personal experience i just don't heal as well,after 50yr,lol
yes I tend to be tolerant, I try not to generalize, or if I generalize acknowledge it as such. sometimes I will generalize to make a point, but realize to just about anything we say there can and will be exceptions...

Yes tolerence of my fellow man is a trait I like to think I have. I usually weigh folk up fairly quickly but will not tolerate fools gladly. I always give folk the benefit of the doubt but like the old saying,,,fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me...JMO
To any and all--I have tried to pick up the general spirit of this thread, but have a major block. It's the word "tolerant". I get the gist of the topic, but please think for a few minutes about this scenario--
You are of a different race/ethnicity than the general make-up of a given neighborhood, and you want to buy a house there. The realtor says, "Not to worry! The people here are very TOLERANT of ....(Blacks, Asians, whatever the case may be...) Now, put yourself in those shoes. Would you be endeared to that,-- hearing they were "tolerant"? How BIG of them. Do you see what I am saying?

actually were I purchasing a home I would not care if they were tolerant but would prefer they be freindly and tolerant

I guess I need to be more clear in what I am saying. The word "tolerant" implies that one is behaving amicably "in spite of", or, with reluctance, at least. It is not a welcoming trait. It's like saying, "I will invite you to my home even though you are....." instead of having a heart absent of any conditions or malice whatsoever, like "I will invite you to my home BECAUSE you are (my friend, etc...) "Tolerate" implies trepidation, conditions, etc...It is not a "friendly" word.

thanks for visiting rohan; i moved into a neighborhood where i was the extreme minority i was prepared for just about anything,i fact i did it in new mexico,i was the only caucasian in that part of town, this was a mix of africans,and latins, got to get over the apprehension and do it!

having been there you can't be busy splitting hairs,just get busy, setting a good example. words are just words.
