Tolerance why is it so hard.

I didn't know religion was frawned apon in our society. I'm not religious anyways, if that was what you were implying.

And like I said, I don't mean for people to go around giving moral lectures, just that don't be surprised that someone questions you for putting up pictures of people having sex with corpses in your house.

You read it wrong.

I'm implying the same philosophy. Yes, its still a gross implication that if one is or isn't religious in this country and causes intense sparks. I think you misunderstand the meanings behind your own post. Accusing people for their sick and demented ways that don't suit your own or you yourself don't agree to personally. I think we all agree about how some things go about in a wrongful way no body's arguing that. But once you start pointing and picking out people out of the blue simply because you don't agree with their ways you're digging your own hole.

I don't believe you understand. This has nothing to do with my opinion on what ever groups. I'm pointing that if society {as in darn near full majority of it's people} frowns apon the acts that a certain group does, that it should come to no suprise at all if someone says to them "Hey, stop that." I'm saying this to point out that over all tolerance is an impossiblity in a platform like Second Life, because we often take the ideals that we learn in RL with us, and that such groups should be prepared for the attention they get as it's near unavoidable.

My grandpa taught me that.. only he said
"Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and nobody wants yours in their face"

no offense intended, and that wasnt directed at anyone (in case anyone was planning on getting all butt hurt over it)

^_^

I guess I didn't understand your wording. I was assuming you were trying to say that any of the deviant groups on here are USUALLY the extremes and the ones who are not extreme are in the minority. My bad.

Tolerence in my mind, is excepting something you might not understand or agree with.. Wether it be a kink you think is odd, or even a belief system you don't agree with... Meaning I'm not a polka dotted human but I don't dislike polka dotted humans, on the otherside, people who aren't supportaive of them im ok with.. (this is taking into account ppl act decent to each other) Everyone has a right to their opnion (typical american!) As long as they are not rude to the other on their beliefs..

There is quite alot on SL I personally do not agree with nor do I understand. Well I point these out, heck no, why should I? It makes no difference in the end, it is a battle that will never be won by any side.

I do find it quite amazing how many ppl demand tolerance and acceptance but refuse to do the same for otehrs..

Now when it comes to real life that is another story (well with fucked up crap, dont' even ask you knwo what it is).

Well yeah in a way... but they're still what they are what ever you or I think.

If someone makes a faithful recreation of a nazi death camp... it's horrid, ok, I agree...

If they put signs up there that when you click on them tells you how horrid such places really were and how we as humans should never tread that path agan, then it's good. it's showing us a part of history that we should leave, for ever.

On the other hand if someone builds it and puts up a sign saying how this should be the fate of jews or whatever the enemy de jour is... then it's bad and intollerable, Should we accept this, under ANY circumstance? I say NO.. Hell NO!

But it isn't the fault of the insignia... which after all, used to be a symbol for life.

I think it was previously an American Indian symbol, and it was put backwards.. But I'm probably wrong :/

Naw, it was them regular type of Indians. The ones from India. Was a symbol for peace or some such, the Nazi symbol being a inverse of that. Then again, it has been a few years since we had our little WWII talks in Jr High/High school, and I often forget things that don't involve TV.
