Sure, I admit it. I'm guilty of intolerance of somethings. Who isn't? But I try to be tolerant of people. When the become rude or insulting, I turn them off. Simple. They'll spread lies, rumors...The truth will out.
One fellow on Twitter is giving me a time...doesn't want to talk to GOP, at all...I pointed out some stuff, he responded...I asked for an example of what he was saying. But he tells me to go look it up. Well, I don't know what he's thinking about; how am I to look it up? Why won't he say? Because, probably, he knows that I'll be able to puncture holes in his argument. You know the old saying right? "I've made up my mind, don't confuse me with facts!"
In the spirit, I wrote a short Twitter poem.
Consider it, AS I SEE IT... this little poem about tolerance rings true.
TOLERANCE, TOLERANCE, that is the key.
I tolerate you, but you don't tolerate me.
So, I don't tolerate you, and we have a war....
Soon we're both tolerant, because We are No More.
It's a statement on hatred. It's a statement on war. And like it or not, it's the Truth. Not just the truth as i see it, but a full-fledged universal. And TRUTH, YES, TRUTH NEVER CHANGES.

When evidence and facts don't jive.
The evidence says one thing, but the facts say another. How do you know what to believe?
Case in point: If there is a snow-covered house and snow covered step, No tracks leading anywhere -- you might conclude that nobody has left the house -- the Car's in the driveway, the mailbox is empty...But the lights are on, the furance is running. It's Sunday, so they're at home, right? Just not been out?
The Evidence says nobody's been out of the house. BUT consider...There's been a very light snow, and it is very windy.
Still say nobody has been out?
One day, I had been out doing some work in a situation like this. Out just a few minutes -- and the snow was blowing so badly that you couldn't see where you had been just 3 minutes earlier. Walk 50 feet, your tracks would be gone!
Nobody been out? Evidence says one thing, facts say another.
Judge with right judgment.
You find a dead cow on somebody's property. The cow is thin. You might conclude that the person neglected the cow, so it died. The cistern is empty, there is no food... Starvation, right?
It turns out the man doesn't own a cow, and never has. Evidence shows neglect, facts show otherwise. The cops look only at the EVIDENCE, ignoring the FACTS.
Judge with right judgment!
A man is caught trying to buy some stuff with a counterfeit bill. Guilty as charged, right? But there are no signs of anything on his property -- no plates, no printing press, not even a computer. Turns out the man received payment for services rendered -- and the bill was counterfeit. Possession is law.. evidence that you willing attempted to defraud. Evidence says one thing, facts say another.
Judge with right judgment!
That's the problem: Too many people looking at the evidence, but not the FACTS.
You judge daily, whether you know it or not. But how many times have you judged wrongly?
Think about it.
