"Tolerance: the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with."
To me tolerance means to agree to disagree. Using words like, gay, dyke or faggot as something mean, means that your intolerant. When someone different comes along it doesn't mean that they should be let down. Being tolerant means to recognizes that although they may be different from you it doesn't mean that they are doing or are something wrong.
A surge of electricity surges through my body. Like my nerves are on fires just for a few seconds. My head hurts as if my brain was pulsing from the anger and sadness from the ignorance and stupidity of comments like, "your wrong" or "thats so gay".
I understand what you mean about the electric surge! Ignorance and intolerance can be extremely angering and hard to deal with.
