"Yes absolutely. But it is important to acknowledge that you don't have to be accepting of everything, it is how you conduct yourself in expressing your dislike of other peoples opinions etc. It would be a boring world if we all thought along the same lines" Really like this | |||

"You can accept the differences with people, their opinions and beliefs etc, without having to agree with them. The same as you would expect another person to accept your stance. There is a difference between accepting differences and having to bow to other's way of being. The problem in this world is sometimes people not understanding what is truly meant by acceptance. There is too much intolerance in this world " Yes. This | |||

Even if they're opposed to yours | |||

"My way or the highway " I'm not sure if this was intended as a joke but being intractable and unmoving isn't a strength. | |||

"The life of Brian Brian: you're all different Horde: yes, we're all different Old man: I'm not" . That sums it up nicely. A person would need to be very passive to accept nearly everything, with little passion or self knowledge. What can be done? Get people to stop being afraid of difference, start challenging inequality and unkindness and understand that humans are imperfect (even themselves) and it's ok to be that way. I can accept certain differences but there are some that I can't although I wouldn't say so out loud. | |||

I think the lines from the sketch are very clever and perhaps deeper than taken on face value, a little like acceptance and tolerance. The horde all follow like sheep agreeing they are all different, even though they are acting the same. The old man, in saying that he is not different, IS it fact different ... Or I'm reading too much into it ... oh well .. meh | |||

"Personally I like to think I’m an open minded guy. As others have said, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. A person’s attitude is generally what determines whether I want to spend time with them. As to how to improve things, I think society has come a long way but still has a lot more to go. Aggressive confrontation is an often understandable reaction to negative opinions and views but it rarely helps, more likely moving the unpalatable behaviour somewhere else, typically underground. Unfortunately patience and a willingness to engage and educate people seems to be the best way forward which is a slow process. It’s evolution really" All these tolerant accepting simian!! I think the monkeys have something here ... | |||

It sums up nicely in my opinion, the arrogance of human beings in thinking that they aren't at base like everyone else. | |||

Changing minds one person at a time is the best way I find. | |||

"Chewing still on this. Also on a difference between actual acceptance and tolerance... " This is where I find myself, I'm generally live and let live, but then personal morals come into play... | |||

I do think that if we were more open with people and our own experiences and hurdles we've had thrown at us then people would be more understanding and therefore more accepting as to why we behave certain ways. Many people don't like to show that vulnerability tho. I can hand on heart say I can think someone is a cunt, but then if I know a bit about their backstory I can change my opinion coz I can see that they're doing their best rather than being a prick for the sake of it.
