Not sure of the correct term but I would consider them open-minded and educated too.

Not necessarily.  Anyone can be prejudiced.  We all have areas of life that we don't know much about.  We all make assumptions that might turn out to be wrong.\n\nIn life, we all make up our own minds.  We choose what we believe is right and wrong.  We find there are leaders and experts we generally agree with, and others we don't agree with as often.\n\nBut I do find that I learn more from listening to people I disagree with, than people I agree with.\n\nRikki

It has been my experience that white people DO expect other white people to share their narrow minded views.  It is seems to me that most narrow minded individuals expect others to share their views.

Liberals forget one very important thing. When you take tolerance to the level that people cannot say, do, think, believe, or want whatever they choose within the bounds of REASONABLE social law, it becomes intolerant. They think that only they are right, so if I believe something differant, I am imposing my beliefs on them, so I must give up my beliefs, forgetting that if they make me give up my beliefs, they are the ones being intolerant and imposing. That is why they are so selfish.

A person who isn't judgmental and doesn't care about what people think of them. They follow the beat of their own drum. They are usually not followers, and they do not follow trends. They usually have a very good sense of humor and they don't take everything so seriously. They are usually very compassionate and caring people.They usually make very good company and people are drawn to them. I should know because I'm a FREE SPIRIT!!!!!!!

"having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people"\n\nIt means avoid and exclude people who aren't morally superior like you.\n\nKind of inflates ones head, huh?

The word tolerance may be overused at the present time.\n\nRemember that for much of the 20th century, merely "not tolerating" someone often translated into dragging them into the streets and murdering them by the millions.\n\nIf you mean simply, "I don't have to accept someone's view" then I agree with you that tolerance is not a virtue. You should not accept every view that comes along. But if it means allowing others to hold whatever view they want, and using the tools of debate and persuasion to try to change their view, then tolerance is a virtue depending upon your world view.\n\nI want to live in a world where disagreement on views is limited to verbal debate and proper actions of law. For now, that concept is called "tolerance".\n\nYou may want to live in a world where views are discussed in the streets and people kill each other. If so, you are a nut job and you should look at some history and see what that world looks like. It's not pretty.\n\nI suspect what you really mean is that you should not be required to accept everyone's view as legitimate, and I think you can have this mindset and still be "tolerant" according to the present usage of the word.

Sorry you are experiancing this. Someone must not be comfortable with you or your views. I'm not really suprised though, it seems some people will do anything to  prevent a person from speaking for themself and presenting a reasonable point of view. If they want to ask silly questions (which can be fun) let them do it for themself.

I agree. As repulsive as their opinions may be, in a free society they must be allowed to speak, but that doesn't mean any of us have to give them our attention.

I don't judge others based on their beliefs. If I have nothing nice to say to someone I tend not to voice an opinion.

A genuinely rational person... faithless and wise, with the perspective of not just historical, but geologic and cosmological time.  Someone who knows that government is as much of a crutch as religion, who will accept no master and take no slave.  This person understands that in the context of human life and civilisation, individual freedom and achievement is paramount… though in terms of billions of years, the existence of an entire species is transient.  A person who knows that the meaning of life is to make yourself happy, because happiness cannot come at the expense of another; only through creativity and integrity, respecting the fact that to uphold your rights is to defend the rights of others, can you be at peace with your own life.  Hopefully, this will prove to be a more than one-in-a-million attitude!

I agree, people who are close minded, will never accept, any thing you might have to say to them.\nBeing open minded will allow you to accept most anything, or at least look at that matter, with an open mind.
