Should The Tolerant...Tolerate The Intolerant?

Answer 1

I tolerate the intolerant. I try hard to see the viewpoints of others, even if I feel that viewpoint is closed minded or incorrect. I may not agree that something is a certain way, but I'm able to put myself in another's shoes to see why they'd come to that conclusion.

However tolerating something doesn't mean LIKING or AGREEING with it. I do not care for people who are intolerant as I don't feel its the way to live. But ... I do tolerate them and let them live their own lives.

Answer 2

Yes Madam, Surely, and Certainly,

I take liberty to explain allegorically?

A Female is passive factor and Male is Active factor in game where Female is just Passive and Tolerating or being Tolerant. Whereas Male is otherwise. Here basic characteristic of the one who is tolerating can not be Changed, Biologically.

Further the 'tolerant' implies to be tolerating which is not normally acceptable to mind with Joy or pleasure , but accepting with pain displeasure and inwardly boiling with opposition, bursting anger and may be violence.

So the tolerant is tolerant as long as tolerant is non-violent. and if tolerant has to remain a tolerant, then question of tolerating intolerant should not arise... if arising , it leads to absurdity of logic.

But life is not moving in logical way. Tolerant are also boiling within and are exploding to show off the Intolerance of The Intolerant Ones....

Reading this Intolerant Answer may need extra tolerant person....!!!!

Answer 3

Holding the value of tolerance means one must tolerate the intolerant up to the point that their intolerance begins to do substantial harm to others, or to the point when any reasonable person could predict they would cause substantial harm. At that point one is morally obligated to cease to tolerate it and to act against them. Freedom of speech never was an absolute freedom--a person can go around screaming, "Fire!" all day, but doing so in a crowded theatre with few exits gets her a jail sentence.

Answer 4

A tolerant person, by his or her nature will always tolerate the intolerant.

Answer 5

if the tolerant doesn't tolerate the intolerant then there is no use of being tolerant...
tolerating starts from tolerating intolerance of any form...because without the existence of intolerance there can be no existence of tolerance...
they have to exist side by side.

hmmmm...

:)

Answer 6

Tolerance is not an absolute value. Tolerance is relative to the circumstance. Tolerance to a degree is nice, but tolerance in the face of the spread of falsehood is spinelessness. I've lived through decades of tolerance as recommended by "the powers that be" in this country. Now I find that I don't have to be so accommodating or "tolerant", and I'm proud that I'm not. And that, as I say, is my not-so-humble opinion. God Bless you.

Answer 7

By definition, they will. They will marginalize them (in a "positive" sense), ignore them, and tell them that they are wrong, but they should tolerate the intolerant.

Believing that a person, idea, etc. is wrong is NOT the same as being intolerant. For a slightly humorous example, I actually have friends that are Yankees fans! (I hate the Yankees.)

Answer 8

If we can not tolerate the intolerant then that in turn makes us intolerant.

Answer 9

The intolerant can be tolerated upto a certain point.
Not passed the point they cause harm to others.
At that point, the intolerant are not to be tolerated.

Answer 10

No. The only thing tolerant people should not tolerate is intolerance.

Whew.
