tolerance in "lifestyle section" or why it makes no sense to hate

Chris Rock said:
racism makes no sense because whoever you hate... will end up in your family.


the words below were a response to those posting in a yahoo group that features a monthly play party with a BDSM focus...
it addresses the annoying habit of "trolling for girls" online
and the intolerance of others just because a favorite "kink" is not a shared interest.



I don't like trolls... but I've trolled
I don't like users... but I've used others in my weakest moments
I am against violence in general but I am damn good at giving you the spanking you need...

I'm this and that...
I don't conform...
and yet I love rules and things to be fair.
ain't life a grand challenge?

ah, to delete and ignore or type and bore? Is that the question?

here are some statements to consider:
"you're not doing it the right way"
"that's not how 'we' do it around here"
"yeah, well that's just sick, isn't it?"
"you like that? ewww, and you like what on your pizza? ewww"


guess what?
I DON'T like mushrooms on my pizza...
does that mean you won't have pizza with Me?
does that mean we can't be friends...
sometimes... that is how it goes.

So, I'm not a swinger... I'm not gonna be anytime soon...
but I'm not here to judge what works for someone else...
On the other hand if you are into what I'm into... I will probably award "style points"... *chuckles

I love what I love
and I believe time is the only currency of value that we are given...
so to waste My time doing things that I don't love
is a waste of the gift I've been given.

we are not all the same
but the GOOD news is that the world will never be boring
because everyone is NOT like you or Me.

we don't live the same lives with the same histories...
life has a "staggered" start for all of us...
we start with different advantages and disadvantages. ..
and so, we each have our view points, our kinks, and the things we love.

the world is a big place
room enough for everyone to be themselves
if I don't do it your way... oh well...
if you don't do it my way... oh well...
its been said before but its worth saying again...
the rules of life still apply...
play nice and be good to others...
guys... treat every girl like YOU'D want someone to treat your mom, your sister, your daughter...
gals... treat every guy like you'd like someone to treat your dad, your brother, your son....


intolerance sucks no matter how or when its delivered...


U2 said it best for Me in the song "One"

Were one
But were not the same
We get to carry each other



*****

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When its one need
In the night
Its one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you dont care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well its too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
Were one
But were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Havew you come here to play jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now its all I got
Were one
But were not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I cant be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One
