and you dropped the ball with the aristotelianism earlier

so

I'll engage in this discussion but given this is the Wall channel I'm not beholden to professionalism.

No, but respect and integrity are virtues that produce tolerance. Is that accurate?

no

Not really.

The problem I'm having is that I like to see where people come from and how they got to a certain conclusion and that with you I cannot see

Integrity does not beget tolerance, certainly.

respect and tolerance are two very different things my guy

Tolerance deals with the compromising away of principles, whilst integrity has to do with holding fast to principles.

Respect doesn't require tolerance but it produces a similar effect.

Some

If you respect someone, you don't shoo them away.

But that doesn't mean you tolerate a certain thing.

I respect some homosexuals, for instance, but don't tolerate their homosexuality.

Frederick the Great, for instance.

I respect the man and thus would not speak lowly of him, especially not to his face were I so privileged to meet the Prussian Ruler.

Respect, however, is earned.

Tolerance is wantonly distributed.

You can tolerate to listen to a homosexual friend of yours telling you about his day, can't you?

It's not tolerance

i.e. his fucking point

If he were a friend, he would have earned my respect. That's not tolerance.

His homosexuality wouldn't factor.

Hahaha, it's that

I wouldn't tolerate his homosexuality and he would know this.

Our friendship wouldn't hinge on that, however.

we post memes here, sirs

I have a very close pagan friend, for instance.

He knows I think his gods are demons

Respect gives you tolerance as well

We're still friends because he has earned my respect.

To tolerate someone is not the false-virtue of tolerance.

This is a failure of the English language.

It's causality, nothing less

To make a compromise, I think what Leviathan and I may be referring to is rather *acceptance,* would you say so, Leviathan?

Tolerance vs. Acceptance.

Of the blind varietal

tbh this entire argument may as well be a meme of itself

Or a how-to on how not to go into an argument misinformed
