Should we accept people for who they are?

[Voldemin]

So should we ? Or should we not? Or only in a limited way ?

Should we stop trying to force our beliefs and expectations on other people because it's bad? Should we stop thinking that only we are right and tell others to live like we do?

Or should we not because it's pointless or pretty hard to change people so we should change our "intolerant" attitude towards them and become more tolerant? Therefore accepting them is the best way?

But what about "special"cases like Hitler or other people then? Should we accept this kind of beliefs too? Or not? Or is it just pointless to think about this kind of questions?

What do you think?

option 4: treat the way you want

 

It's quite obvious that even though there are those people who are complete dickwads, the general consensus is that if you treat people the way you like to be treated, then they *should* treat you back well.

 

Obv ppl shouldnt expect to be treated well if they act like dicks to others.

[Wholahay]

When it comes to things like race, sexual orientation and gender yeah.

[sane]

Only if it's not hurting anybody (including themself).

[A Boy Like Troy]

Of course we should

[Mog]

We should, but it also depends on the circumstances. For example, I wouldn't just accept someone for who they are if what they were was abusive or murderous in some form, as well as many other examples I could list. But overall we should be accepting of most things with people; as long as they aren't intentionally causing harm to others, I don't see the problem.

[Popero44]

Definitely. 

[denizen mars]

Only if it's not hurting anybody (including themself).

[E S H E]

Duh. Yes.

If they accept you for who you are, that is.

[Chunface]

yes 

[TerrorizingKids]

 

People should respect others and themselves we have to understand and comprehend what the other is going through, the reason behind every action, if they don't intend to harm anyone. If everybody could do that, the society wouldn't be so damn f#cked up. 

[Timo]

My vision on life is I respect everyone at a basic level, but I won't care about you unless your life somehow has an impact on my life. Or you offend me at a personal level.

[Special*]

Is you crazy?

[Loser]

Yeah

[Cloud]

it depends on the situation and if its justifiable...

[VISION]

Yes.

[HappyS]

When it comes to things like race, sexual orientation and gender yeah.

This pretty much

[Miiko]

Yes.

[......]

no

 

because to do so, would diminish conviction, which imo, makes us just as productive a species as destructive.

 

I don't think we need to "accept" and embrace everyone... or be tolerant of things we think are wrong or vile or stupid....

 

Simply...disassociate. Mentally acknowledge that you believe some people are morons or batshit....and then move on. You don't need to try to change them...or like them. Apathy. We need to adopt apathy.

 

Let people lead the lives they want, if it's illegal, let the law handle it...if it's "immoral"...let your "God(s)" and/or government handle it... and worry about yourself.

[thatssosoo]

Accept them for who they are, criticize them when they turn their immoral thoughts into actions, etc.

[nshat07]

I treat them like how I want to be treated~

We should accept people for who they are as long as they are not rude~

[michigointomypants]

try to be open minded without hindering your beliefs

[Fnx]

for most people

 

not for assholes 

[hess]

Depends on the situation. I think it really varies depending on who we're talking about and what they do.
