Are you tolerant of people who don't share the same opinions are you?

[Don-__-Don]

Well, are you? A discussion I saw just a few seconds ago inspired this question.

Yes, all time.

Yes, sometimes.

Yes, but rarely.

No, never.

[RingOfFire]

Here's the thing. I am completely tolerant of people who have views that differ from mine. But how do you define tolerant and intolerant.

I've found that those with liberal/progressive/socialist/communist/Democrat views are tolerant of any views except views that oppose theirs. They call themselves tolerant, but in reality they are not. To them tolerant means they tolerate anyone who has the exact same views they do. Breaking news... That isn't the definition of tolerant my friends.

And their definition of INtolerant is equally fucked up. If I dispute anything one of these lefties say, to them that constitutes intolerance. You can't have even a 1% deviation from their view of the world or you are an intolerant racist, sexist, homophobic Nazi.

People on the left are completely intolerant of any views but their own and falsely accuse people on the right of being the intolerant ones.

I can't tell you how many old friends I've lost who are Democrats and dumped be just because I am not. I would never dump an old friend because they are Democrats. As a matter of fact I was just talking to another friend about some friends I have known my whole life who don't want to talk to either of us now because we are Trump supporters.

What a disappointment. They are such small minded intolerant people. I have no problem with them hating President Trump. But they won't have anything to do with me after a lifetime of friendship.

[gooselover]

Depends on the topic, how far away the opinion is from reality.

One tough spot is people who agree with the media, established politicians, corporations who belive they are some form of "resistance/rebels"

[Rangers]

So long as those beliefs aren't that I should be put into a communist re-education camp, choked to death with a noose, have my second amendment revoked, have the constitution burned, have the American flag burned, and my money stolen from me, if any of those apply, it's game on and it's gonna be really ugly for them if they try something stupid.

[ShadezMcgee]

Only if they can be civil and converse without spouting toxicity and bullshit rhetoric while being condescending, violent or demeaning that has been implanted in their heads. Otherwise they are not worth it and pointless to talk to.

[JesterRose]

I tollerate those that keep a civil tongue. But for those that rely on insults to "win" i would caution them. Keep forked tongues behind your teeth, a slight bump on the chin and you might bite it off.

[EssenceOfLight]

Yes. Even if it's stupidest thing I heard in a while. Ignorance and mental limitations is a factor in objective estimation of opinions of others and of course mine. Being absolutely sure that I'm right is the best way to cementing my own possibly wrong opinions.

[RolandCuthbert]

Of course. Except when their opinion is about denying me my rights and freedoms.

Then I am not tolerant of them.

I mean, I like me.

[Pete671]

Both parties can learn from each other within a civilised framework,,,
But I have no time for people who declare their opinions as fact, or who have adopted an opinion based on biased statistics which they happen to agree with,,,

[bamesjond0069]

I am always tolerant if they dont involve me in it. Once they involve me im never tolerant. Ie if you want to do drugs thats fine. If you expect me to pay for your treatment i will then be 100% against you.

[OddBeMe]

Obviously we all get frustrated about this. But being able to have civil discussion and listen to opposite opinions shows maturity.

Also I see a lot of people believing in straw man views of their opposition, which is also immature.

[Riddler1412]

To a degree. If the opinion makes just a little sense, I'm tolerant. But if the opinion can't be backed up by some arguments or evidenced, no.

[pigoat]

Yes i tolerate them

That souds bad

Lmao

[mike5150]

For the most part unless the only way they can express themselves is through insults.

[chc0009]

Of course. Though in my case, I am against BOTH the Democrat and Republican parties, since they have utterly failed us.

[jshm2]

You're confused. Opinions are not there to be tolerated or accepted by default. They are not facts.

[Don-__-Don]

Of course opinions are not facts, I'm not retarted.

I don't know what's up with older people always feeling the need treat me like I know know shit.

Anyways, of course opinions aren't made to be accepted by default, you have the OPTION to tolerate them or not.

I have "NO" on the poll for a reason, sir.

[Don-__-Don]

don't know*

[Kuba-kun]

Normal thinks Yes, conspiracy theories based on youtube videos No.

[Kuba-kun]

Basically as long as it is Their opinion and they are able to support it in their own words instead of repeating a learned script.

[jasco]

I love debating but if your gonna be a dick about it then i can just make fun of you. You will see how little i care about your insults and that honestly your just making me laugh

[Omar5881]

Yeah all the time because there’s no absolute truth at least one we all accept

[msc545]

I have some fundamental problems with raging stupidity, name-calling, and conspiracy theorists, but calm people who respectfully disagree are some of my closest friends. We have fun discussions.

[RoxyFoxx]

Yes. We should try our very best to do so.

[Mystic_Nova]

Yes, but if they are rude to me, I'm not tolerant.

[Gwenhwyfar]

For the most part, yes
