Intolerance

[noxlumos]

If there's one thing really ticks me off it's intolerance. Nothing makes me so intolerant of someone than if they show a lack of tolerance for others:)
I've just answered yet another quesiton showing huge ignorance,bigotry and intolerance for a racial group and it's really made my blood boil.
So my question is this, I have huge faults but disliking people because of their sex, ethnicity, orientation, racial group, religious group etc isn't one of them. Are you prejeudiced against any group if you really are honest?

Genetically I come from a ragingly intolerant family, very hard line Republicans, so I don't honestly know. but you're right that I don't have a stroke if the grass gets a bit long, or if the kids put sweet wrappers in the ashtray because I try very hard now to view eacvh and every little occurance within the grand scheme of things. If you do that such trivia scarcely matters. In other words if it's not life or death or about to cause harm to other people then don't let it affect you. On the other hand I move like greased lightening if it looks likely, so I'm not complacent, I just hope I now have a good sense of perspective.

I have catholic friends..I also have JW friends. I find it interesting that the catholic and JW friends get on perfectly well as long as they don't discuss religion.

However I can have a debate about religion with any of them.

Oh ummmm I'm sorry, of course you are. Oops.

[Pippa68]

Phew..thank goodness that didn't erupt into a fight :o)

Hello Pippa, how's you lovely?

[ummmm1]

I was brought up to believe in things I probably shouldn't have

Tiocfaidh Ar La....and all that. I have made my own mind up about things and I am not intolerant of anyone no matter what.

How many hail mary's would ummmmmmmmm have to have to cleanse her filthy mind?

I am not a Victor Meldrew type, but it would be interesting to measure my blood pressure if I find bird poo on my car, or the stripes on my private lawn are skew whiff. Or when the postman leaves large letters hanging out of the letter box letting them get all soppy. Also God help anybody who short changes me, or a restaurant which sells poor food.

I am not very tolerant at all. Forget race and religion and the bloody Welsh (though Athley seems affable),

Well ummm, our day has come, but in the end it came by peaceful means. I think we are well on the way now to everything being as it should be, and hopefully no-one getting hurt anymore.

wardy just to let you know, I live in North Wales and one of my best mates is Welsh, and we have loads of banter, but he really is such a genuine bloke, I would trust him with my life,

I hate Spurs supporters, never met a decent one in my life and when I have children I will beat that hatred in to them.

[ummmm1]

Are you an Arsenal supporter Mr Tall ?

[Mr Tall]

[BigDogsWang]

I hate Arsenal supporters, never met a decent one in my life. And if they continue to beat my beloved Man U, I'll firebomb the Emirates Stadium :)

[Mr Tall]

I tend not to read her posts or answers ;-) or if I do disregard them straight away.

Getting worried BDW, we have a stadium to match old trafford and have the youngsters to do what you did in the 90's.
