are you tolerant to other people's freedom? do you like to live in harmony with the world around you, or do you like to impose the idea of everyone to be "right"?

I'd consider myself very tolerant. The citizens of the United States, myself included, enjoy freedoms that others could only dream of one day having. People can and should be able to live the way they choose as long as they don't cause harm to other people.

I agree with you, too. only there are still developing countries where citizens don't have yet the posibility to afford the freedom of living the way they wish. why do you think that might be?

you are right. I have a friend who used to say that your freedom ends where other people's freedom begins. I believe that if we all thought like that we would make this world a better place

I like to think that I am very open minded. I've lived 71 years and worked in some 10 countries. Been there and done that and have been through a revolution in the Dominican Republic, coup d'etats in Ecuador and war in Vietnam. Freedom is very near and dear to my heart. I don't try to impose my ideas on anyone but I do like to make suggestions that don't offend.

I consider myself very tolerant. The way I see it, people can live their life the way they want. The only reason I would say something about how someone was living, would be if it involved harm to a child or another, then I would step in. If they don't bother me and it doesn't affect me, then let them live how they want.

I am very open minded. I respect, always respect, other peopleĀ“s beliefs, as long as they respect me, and these beliefs are not harmful to society (e.g. I would not respect a belief that someone have in human sacrifice). I do not like the idea of impose "rightness" to anyone. Everyone must find his own "right".

I believe I am very tolerant. I give most people the benefit of the doubt unless they are really stupid or uneducated (in ways not brains).

I am probably not very tolerant with intense people because I am so very lay back.
