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.

Tylee

Tylee, is the female version of Tyler. Most Females given the name Tylee will have beautiful blue eyes and chestnut brown colored hair. Tylee's are often self conscious of everything they do, so when encountering a Tylee try to compliment her. She will either blush and give you a compliment back or she will just leave, it be like that sometimes. Tylee is often good at anything art related or music related, music will most likely be Tylee's life. She is normally into dark brown haired boys/men, with hazel or brown eyes. To win over a Tylee you must show compassion towards her, and only her. Tylee's despise being cheated on or figuring out that you cheated on your girl with them, so just dont do it. Tylee's are wicked smart and can probably beat you in any subject, especially writing. So in conclusion if you happen to find a Tylee make her the happiest Tylee ever.
Example #1: "Hi Tylee"
Example #2: "She looks like a Tylee with her blue eyes and chestnut brown hair"
