You say, "...even those small things in life..".

Then how does this poll propose we affirm/deny our tendencies regarding the "larger" issues, then?

I think you have here a point of equivalence to address, or at the very least another polling question.

If all one's beliefs are-or should be-open to compromise, then why is there a "Drawing Room"?

This poll is of questionable worth, Zed. :huh:

i will not heed to your way of thinking :P

the drawing room is in some cases a place where they try to convert peoples thoughts to theirs yet mostly fail miserably
ofcourse i would rather be sitting on a beach in the hot sun than replying to this - so i guess simply doing anything that is not ultimatly your utopia can hence be regarded tragically as total compromise
and off to work i go

I used to think the ability to compromise was a sign of intelligence. So I did it a lot, a whole lot....most times, actually. Even against my better judgment.

I still compromise but not against my better judgement. Does this mean I am growing an ego.

I always think that people nearer to the ends of the political spectrum are more unable to compromise, almost by definition, than those closer to the centre.

In general terms tho', mate, not really.

No, I don't think of you as being intolerant. I don't believe most members
here are intolerant, that is untill they enter the Drawling Room. I would
think that a forum section such as, would promote tolerance. Instead
I see constant bickering and insults.

I read every post on this forum. (well most of em) I just feel more inclined
to listen and think about what others have to say,then comment on every
post.

It's amazing what you can learn by listening.

Oh.

I wouldn't have thought you'd need that explained, manker.

Those who deem non-judgementalism a desirable quality are the most judgemental and least-tolerant people I know, and many/most here on the board give lip-service to the idea, but aren't on a nodding basis with the spirit of it.

At least, by my judgement.

It does seem as if you need an explanation of why I made that remark but your deflection by way of speaking of those who deem it desirable, rather than focusing on those who don't - which is what I was refering to - speaks volumes.

So, yeah, sometimes one can infer more by what is not written c.f. that which is.

My girlfriend wanted us to stay in on Friday night, I wanted us to go out. I said she could stay in and I would go out, does that count as a compromise?

What do you mean?

The ones who deem it a desirable quality?

Or the ones (like me) who believe the very idea to be hogwash?

The ones who buy the idea don't do it anyway...and are positively adamant in their judgement of those who do not; I see this as hypocrisy, and you judge me intolerant thereby?

Says a lot about you, my friend. :huh:

Your interpretation has made it crystal clear that you're intolerant of people who perceive themselves to be non-judgmental. You've seemingly lumped everyone who considers themselves so in with this and said that even the people who think they are non-judgmental are, in fact, judgmental hypocrites.

So ... there is, apparently, no such thing as a non-judgmental person. What rubbish.


You see, being non-judgmental or being judgmental isn't black and white. It can't be. To be judgmental in every situation is as ludicrous as the notion of the converse. They are merely labels applied to those who are inclined to be judgmental or inclined to be non-judgmental.

It is quite possible to be judgmental in one situation and non-judgmental in another.

I tend to disagree with the implication of your sig because if you can discern when it's appropriate to be non-judgmental then it can be a positive boon.


Btw, the other thing I disagree with, concerning your sig, is the spelling of judgmental :D

It is quite possible to be judgmental in one situation and non-judgmental in another.

Just like everyone else on the face of this planet-the other half of my point; to claim to be non-judgmental or less judgmental than I, or anyone else, is indeed hypocritical.

My sig is nothing more than a play on the obvious fallacy of believing one could arrive at that conclusion without...you know.

Btw, the other thing I disagree with, concerning your sig, is the spelling of judgmental :D

I sense that my unfortunate spelling error (BTW-thank you for pointing it out) is at the root of your overall objection.

How could it be any other way?

I am supremely tolerant.
