Is toleration a human trait or political concept?

Well, here I am after walking away from another quote/unquote Discussion/debate site that's more a "You are the evilest thing alive because you don't agree with me" site. Democrats, republicans, theists, atheists.

 

Is there any reason why people should think that just because one position binds them that they should automatically agree on everything. Why is it that those championing tolerance is so adamantly intolerant of those they perceive to be intolerant based upon their inability to agree with their pet projects. Why is the terms strong or weak used against those within the same ideological tent according to the level of total agreeance. Is this not intoleration or can this be justified?

 

To me toleration is like respect. You either have it for someone or you don't. You can't manufacture it from an ideal, It has already got to be ingrained into your soul. Even then it is impossible to be totally tolerant or intolerant of anyone or anything. You can be satisfied with a person or a situation for a time, but in time there is a good chance that people will become less satisfied and want change, even thought the subject may not wish to change. Is this being intolerant or just wanting something new.?

Multiple threads of the same, exact topic are not allowed. It is considered spam. You have this in the debates section where it rightly belongs. After staffing this, I have confirmed it is not allowed even if its the off-topic section. I realize you may not have known but in the future please do not make multiple threads of the same topic.~Lisnpuppy
