Tolerance?

Question

all this talk about tolerance since Bill Clinton took office has made me step back and do an objective observation. it seems that the "tolerance" crowd (usually left wing in world view)preaches "tolerance" to the masses and the need for no cencorship. Yet it seems that if anyone speaks or writes about a different world view like for example abortion is murder not choice or gay marriage is a moral issue, they simply brand it as hate speech and try to have it removed from public thought. it seems the "tolerance" crowd is truly only tolerant to the world view that most closely resembles their own and truly try to censor anyone else that holds a differing world view. So it seems that way then only the left world view will be the only view available for the masses to hear about. what you think? no left wing rhetoric actually answer the question! no cliches no gimmicks give a direct answer if u can.

these examples are just that examples not a question debating abortion or gay marriage just random examples

Answer 1

Some people are like that, and the ones that have the bigest voices seam to be..... You shouldn't hold it down on everyone.

I am quite a open minded and tolerant myself and I'm not like that.

The world isn't black and white (or should I say red and blue) and I wish some of the political nuts would understand that.


And on the two topics you brought up if you whant my opention I don't agree with abortion, I think are population is to high and growing to fast and we need a negitive growth rate world wide.... but I think abortion is something that needs to be avoided none the less...... if the mother don't whant to have her child then she can just as well give it away when it's born, she should atleast have to take resposablity for her actions in the meantime.

And personaly I feel homosexality and how you veiw it is a matter of personal morals...... gay marriage is a legal matter and a matter of equal rightes. Comitted cupples are legaly given serten rightes that are given when people are married. And I think it's wrong for people to try and keep people from certen rights just becose of there personal belives and morals..... if we did that women still wouldn't be alowed to vote or own land or anything like that.

Answer 2

Everyone has different views obviously, I try to be tolerant to others religions even though they may be different to my own, but sometimes it's really hard because you don't want to just agree with everything they say. I try to stick to my morals and just live and let live. Am I doing the right thing? I don't know.
