Mix Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 so lets say you made a new friend and even though you haven't known this person long, you're hitting it off....you have tons in common... and everything's going great till you find out they're intolerant of a particular group of people....overtly intolerant.... you make your position known, you're against it 100%... they want to still be friends....do you?
Sawdamizer Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Who are they intolerant of? It shouldn't matter, but it does.
fuggnificent Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 i dunno. im still friends with trump supporters but ive known them for decades... well except one guy who got mad and blocked me AND my brother lol... he unblocked me but wont answer my message asking why he blocked me after our argument over trump
Mix Posted July 29, 2017 Author Posted July 29, 2017 Who are they intolerant of? It shouldn't matter, but it does. whoever it is, you have friends in that community....how do you proceed?
Sawdamizer Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Idk, I try to avoid people outside of professional settings at all costs. Don't think I have got to know anyone other than business colleagues and clients in years. So I guess my answer is, I wouldn't talk to them anymore....

Don't think I have got to know anyone other than business colleagues and clients in years. So I guess my answer is, I wouldn't talk to them anymore.... crap, you're a better person than me....I was kinda hoping for the "show tolerance to the intolerant" bs you hear on talk radio or where ever...
Sawdamizer Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 I stopped being friends with a kid in college because when we would drink at the house he would always have to go to his car and grab his ipod to plug it in and try and make us listen to his shit music. No way I was being tolerant anymore..... he dropped out and joined the army.....

No way I was being tolerant anymore..... he dropped out and joined the army..... > that's savage... I imagine you dissolved the friendship by just locking the front door when he went to get his ipod out of his car....he got the message when he couldn't get back in....plus you'd ofcourse be flipping him off from the window just so there are no misunderstandings....
Sawdamizer Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Preeetttttty much, my roommate took his ipod and threw it on the neighbors roof, he was going to call the police but he was underage and really drunk. Oh well...I can only listen to so much O.A.R., and college ruined a lot of music genres for me.
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Yep. I think if I were to chose to cut out everyone who was intolerant to ANY lgbt people, OR muslims, OR mexican immigrants, I would be isolated in my own little world with only the Internet as my only way of communicating with the outside world. S:
Codename: Jackass Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 I would key their car and feign ignorance.
Mix Posted July 29, 2017 Author Posted July 29, 2017 no they would be dead to me God-Says-No says no......this could be a series
DragonSinger Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 No. There are billions of people out there, so it's easy to find better friends. Also, being intolerant of only one group is always a lie. There's gonna turn out to be a second, third, etc. if you stick around them long enough to find out.
StarPanda Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 I mean what if its a she and she's hot I mean that's a tough one
Naraku4656 Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Depends how much of a bigot they are. Rarely bring it up? Don't care Bring it up everyday? No

S: tough call history will remember your choice :fap:
Mix Posted July 29, 2017 Author Posted July 29, 2017 I would key their car and feign ignorance. i'd expect nothing less from you ;D
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 tough call history will remember your choice :fap: I clicked all the spoilers. :fap: But Naraku4656[/member] makes a good point, if they bring it up all the time that could very easily be a deal breaker.
Codename: Jackass Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 i'd expect nothing less from you ;D Do I seem the passive-aggressive type? I'd probably also slowly cut them out of my life.

There's gonna turn out to be a second, third, etc. if you stick around them long enough to find out. where exactly are these "better" friends.....tinder? I'll check tinder >.> I have sex with my friends
Mix Posted July 29, 2017 Author Posted July 29, 2017 I mean what if its a she and she's hot I mean that's a tough one this guy gets it...
Mix Posted July 29, 2017 Author Posted July 29, 2017 Depends how much of a bigot they are. Rarely bring it up? Don't care Bring it up everyday? No I can't quite figure why I laughed at this post... you're just a middle of the road guy, aren't ya...mild salsa, intermediate pilates, and radio edit songs.......it's beautiful
Mix Posted July 29, 2017 Author Posted July 29, 2017 Do I seem the passive-aggressive type? I'd probably also slowly cut them out of my life. best way I could put it.....you seem like a guy who could very easily turn out to be a super intelligent cat.....if that makes sense
1938 Packard Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Idk, I try to avoid people outside of professional settings at all costs. So, you can't be friends with anybody who doesn't do a similar job to yours and isn't on the same income level. That explains a lot about you.
Mix Posted July 29, 2017 Author Posted July 29, 2017 They'd have the opportunity to change their hearts or lose me as a friend. It's not about me trying to save the world or anything. I just don't want to have that shit in my life. what if it's Ellen....and she wants you to co-host her show? be honest
DragonSinger Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 where exactly are these "better" friends.....tinder? I'll check tinder >.> I have sex with my friends I hang out in writing, drawing, and anime circles, so it's easy for me to run into a lot of cool folks who don't feel the need to hate innocent people. My God, Mix! You have sex with your friends? Scandalous!
Mix Posted July 29, 2017 Author Posted July 29, 2017 But then again there's this guy: https://youtu.be/H19AMpELMew1 And I think he actually has the right idea. So maybe idk what I'd do it depends. I haven't seen enough to comment, but i'm going to...looks interesting
Opium Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Probably not. I don't consider myself responsible for teaching them anything nor do I feel that I as an individual would be able to effectively do it -- but by the same token I feel if I just glossed over it for who they are as a person I would be enabling something that is a real issue that has an effect on the livelihoods of people, even if this person is not taking an active part in it. There's also just me not wanting to have that kind of thing in my personal life. I think for these people to change the decision has to come from themselves; they have to want to see the world/people as they actually are instead of some filtered phenomena of limited perception. And I, as a white guy who has had a very generous life, can't plant that honestly.
bnmjy Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 It depends on what use they have to me. How useful one is should always be the primary factor in making friends. :poop:
fuggnificent Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 It depends on what use they have to me. How useful one is should always be the primary factor in making friends. :poop: isnt this one of the symptoms of being a sociopath?
bnmjy Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 isnt this one of the symptoms of being a sociopath? I hope so.
Naraku4656 Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 I can't quite figure why I laughed at this post... you're just a middle of the road guy, aren't ya...mild salsa, intermediate pilates, and radio edit songs.......it's beautiful radio edit? i never listen to edited stuff. and i like medium salsa and i've never done pilates
katt_goddess Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 If it's such a big part of their life that it's in my face at every opportunity, then hit the bricks. I don't have time or energy to deal with your crap. I've got books to read and a cat to dig out of the dirty laundry pile.
