All expected me to make the effort to understand them, while they didn't have to do the same for me. I have always felt an imbalance in this whole issue of Tolerance. I have to go to great lengths to be tolerant of the behaviours and attitudes of others. I respect the things they value even when th...

Hi amboxer21. I'm not sure if you are referring to my post or not. Just to clarify. As stated at the beginning of my post, I am proud to be me, I like me.

Personally, I dislike the whole mindset of having to classify anyone. Apart from its statistical uses, I find the concept of 'no...
