tolerance and compromise are two different things.

there are alot of people, including myself, that really need to stop pairing them up. if i have to be intolerant of something (God forbid anybody be intolerant. that would make the world stop revolving) to keep from falling into it myself, then so be it. dare i say that what this world (specifically this country ) needs is a little bit of intolerance? call me old fashioned and behind the times, but i think it's time to draw the line in the sand once again. i don't want my children to grow up in a world where there is no right or wrong. grant it, there are gray areas. i totally agree with that. and for the most part, i'm tolerant of most behaviors that i don't particularly think are right. but sometimes i just get so sick of feeling guilty about my beliefs. if i speak out against something, i'm wrong for being 'intolerant'.

but doesn't that make their accusation hypocritical? after all, they're being intolerant of my beliefs. most of the time they're more intolerant of me than i am of them, and all i did was express an opinion. and i'm sick of all this hypocricy and self-justification. nobody can admit they're wrong anymore.

well let me be the first. i'm wrong for looking at pornography on the internet. i'm wrong for having the worst case of road rage ever. i'm wrong for telling lies day in and day out. i'm wrong for being inexplicably angry with my father all the time. and i'm wrong for countless other little things that i do daily that, when totaled up, equal one big mess that will take a lifetime to clean.

ok...your turn.
