2 a: to allow to be or to be done without prohibition, hindrance, or contradiction b: to put up with <learn to tolerate one another>
Funny, it doesn't seem that this word holds its meaning in our society today...
Why is it that today's version of Toleration not only expects me to respect and endure certain viewpoints...But revere and endorse them? I can't hold my view of believing that homosexuality is wrong...without being called a fascist bigot.
