tolerance

Tolerance, in the political and social sense, involves two components: 1. Finding others' beliefs or behavior wrong or, in some substantive way, highly objectionable. This fundamental disagreement must be present on issues that really matter, not on issues that are minor or trivial. 2. In the face of this intense disagreement, one refrains from resolving differences by violence or the threat of violence.

Tolerance is NOT a matter of pluralism or multi-culturalism. In order to be tolerant, one does not accept or find others' actions or attitudes a matter of indifference. Rather, a necessary condition for tolerance is rejection of others' beliefs and way of life.

The upshot of tolerance is fighting a continual civil war with those whom one disagrees with in non-violent ways. A society characterized by tolerance will be full of constant confrontation and conflict without threats or violence. As commentator Jonathan Schwartz has argued, tolerance involves challenging the beliefs that others accept without question including issues surrounding sexuality, religion, and race.

Tolerance also is closely related to free speech. Free speech is primarily designed to promote free discussion of controversial questions in politics, religion, and morality. Therefore, speech codes and Politically Correct sensibilities advanced by the left are restrictions on free speech and are forms of intolerance.

I think everything you say and believe is immoral and disgusting. I shall try to eradicate your beliefs from the face of the earth. But, I shall express my disagreement only verbally and refrain from violence to suppress your point of view. Therefore, I am demonstrating tolerance.

tolermate

a person that isn't your soulmate, but you have the tolerance to spend the rest of your life with and/or marry them.

also can be used if one doesn't believe in soulmates.

Friend: "You and Sarah have been dating for quite awhile."
Steve: "I've been considering asking her to marry me. I think she might be tolermate."

"Despite all his little quirks, I can't put up with him. He's my tolermate"

Tobey

Tobey is a very sweet guy, he is the best to make you feel great but can also get very mad very easily, he gets pissed off quickly over small things but usually finds himself to forget it and leave the problem, he’s not a problem solver. Tobey is very tall and protective, little too over protective sometimes but that’s good sometimes, Tobey really cares but sometimes forgets what others are feeling, he intends to only think about himself if tough situations. Tobey can be a totally awesome and hot guy but can also be a huge dick sometimes

“Ugh Tobey can be a huge dick sometimes”
“Aww Tobey is so sweet”

Alcohol Tolerant

When over time you can drink slightly more than you normally can before you feel ill. A sign of alcohol addiction.

My alcohol tolerant levels have gone up. A year ago I was smashed after two glasses of wine. Now it takes me a whole bottle to get wasted.
