I'm happy this thread received many responses. However, my aim was to focus on tolerance rather than spark debates

I consider myself tolerant because I try to make everybody as comfortable in my presence as possible. It doesn't mean pleasing everyone - far from that! - it's more about being non-judgmental of other people's words, actions, appearance, problems etc. As far as these are not harmful, of course.
I'm aware that 'harmful' could mean different things to different people, but you get my idea
