How tolerant are you of other minorites?

I'm pretty apathetic, as I am about most things. It's not because of somebody's beliefs or sexuality that I would dislike them. And just because somebody is persecuted for some random reason, doesn't mean they are inheriently better than the ones doing the persecuting. Minorities aren't saints because they are out numbered, if the situation were reversed they would be dicks too.

There are always exceptions, but yea. It is just human nature. Do you know another way to explain it? Numbers is the only difference between the persecutors and the persecuted.

The same here

But i dont trust 'normal' people. I feel more comfortable with people with mental illnesses and alternative lifestyles.

Me too.

It's really no big deal to me. There are some openly gay people at work. I don't know any transexuals. The ones that give me problems sometimes are Borderlines. They are very difficult to deal with. I understand that they are in a lot of emotional pain. But you can't let them walk all over you.

I'm tolerant for most minorities as long as they show me respect. My boss is gay which i have no problem with as long as he doesn't start hitting on me. He's the coolest old guy i know too.

I know all too well how stressful dealing with BPDs are.Yeah you have to stand up to them no matter how they make you feel sorry for them.Of course not all BPDs are like the one I was friends with.

Yeah - I had a BPD gf when I was locked up in a psych hospital. She actually testified against me in court and I got commited for another 18 months! She moved 1500 miles away after that. Too bad she didn't move just a few weeks sooner.

I feel the most comfortable being around social minorities because I consider myself a social minority. I feel like they're more accepting of me the way I am.

I hate minorities. They make me feel uncomfortable, and most of em are just as bad as the preps.

I dislike people who hate. That is YOU.
And I won´t feel any guilty to say this to you!
