funny thing peoples upbringing and how it shapes lives. life is to short to hate people and to have feelings that are negative in nature. some of you i see where lucky enough to be taught that, others of us had to learn it. assumptions and stereo types seem to be a part of life regardless of your upbringing. doesnt make it right. people talk of tolerance as if it is only there for them. cant hate someone or have no tolerance for them if they dont believe something you do. as the poster said, most people who hate were conditioned to do so. as we want tolerance from them, we need to show tolerance to them. enough of my soap box, sorry to any who may have been offended, this post or previous posts were not meant to derail this thread.
