    We alll know a person who is... well @_@, kinda weird i guess :PPP, sometimes its just that they r weird, sometimes annoying >w< and many other things. But do u accept people for who they r :33? if they r really weird and stuff :DD
     
    I do - especially since sometimes I am the person people think is weird :D
     
    Well, it's not like I'd condone accepting their sameness. So yes.
     
    I accept people's differences because it would feel rude of me to ignore someone who's different from the social norms.
     
    I will be completely honest, it depends on the difference.

    If the difference is in what they happen to be interested in, then yes! Definitely! Not only would I accept it, I would protect it and defend them as best I can, because judging people based off of their likes is just horrible.

    If it is in appearance, then yes! It's not like anyone gets to choose what they look like, and alienating people because of it is also just horrible.

    If it is beliefs or traditions. Then yes! I will not judge your thoughts and routines. And other's shouldn't either, because that is just horrible.

    If it is that they are needlessly violent or hostile to people because of any of the above... NO! I will never accept that about someone. I won't avoid them, but I will sure as hell be disappointed, and have a much more negative disposition towards them if they continue.
     
    I do. Even though I may not want to, who am I to tell someone they can't be that thing they wish to be? Even if I think it is wrong, I will support someone.

    i feel like i just read a poor translation of french to english from google translate

    Well, I try my best to accept their differences. I mean, when it comes to their physical differences, I can't really judge something they had control in whatsoever. But when it comes to differences of opinion or differences of style or whatever, I won't be so accepting. Especially if they try to force me to change my opinion to fit theirs or change my beliefs. No, I'd just get pissed off and yell at them or something :/
     
    Weird's okay. Weird can be kind of endearing.

    So long as someone's not annoying, I'm not bothered. And even then... I'd just try not to run into the individual. lol
     
    Ah I didn't get here in time to inb4 all the people saying "I ACCEPT EVERYONE THEY'RE ALL SPECIAL SNOWFLAKES".

    There are some belief/opinion differences that I can't reconcile with my own, so I can't accept hanging around those people because of that "difference". Also annoying isn't so much something the other person is doing wrong most of the time, but a personality clash. The person might be overly hyperactive and I'm really chill, so it annoys me but it doesn't mean they're doing anything wrong. I probably wouldn't want to hang out with them because of it but at the same time I wouldn't tell them that what they're doing is wrong, it just clashes with how I am.
     
    I think there's a difference between accepting people's differences and putting up with annoying people lol - but I've put up with a lot of annoying people before, so I guess you could say I do.

    As for people's actual differences, I'd say I accept about 90% of them. When it comes to differences in who people are then yes, absolutely. If it comes to differences in what people believe and what their opinions are on certain topics, well... there are certain opinions I can't respect and so correspondingly, I can't respect the person either.

    EDIT: Just read Toujours' post and this is pretty much a carbon copy of it haha - we are so alike it's scary sometimes!
     
    I'm very weird. >///<; I try, but... There are some things that are just not okay. There are people out there that do/take pleasure from violent and cruel things, and hateful things that I just can't "accept". Tolerate at best, but often times I simply cannot stand being around such things. Beliefs are not one of those things, as I cannot justify being intolerant towards someone over beliefs. Only actions warrant such reactions.
     
    I accept people's differences if they are nice to me and treat me right. If a person is mean and annoying and purposely act rude then I have a hard then respecting them and accepting them.But I try to love and respect everyone and thier beliefs as along as they don't say mine are wrong or stupid.
     
    To answer your specific question: Weird's great. I prefer weird people to people who are deemed normal by society. They're much more interesting. In fact, I don't really like people who view weird to be something bad. Oops, I guess I just gave away my answer to this next part with that statement alone!

    Do I accept everyone's differences unconditionally? Hellllll no, and I find it hard to believe that everyone who said yes to that question bothered saying yes at all (though some of you could only be answering if you can accept weird people; and if so, this doesn't apply to you!). I have some things I'd like to change about people I know. Due to that, I don't accept it. This thread itself is a great example! I do not accept people on PC making politically accurate answers. That happens so much in this forum specifically, it's mind-boggling.

    Though accepting something does mean putting up with, I don't believe that that's what's being asked. Nearly everyone can tolerate something they don't like about someone, but to fully accept it and be 100% okay with it is everything about someone I just find to be hard to do and believe that others can do. In fact, I believe blindly accepting everything someone does or wants to do is an incredibly foolish thing to do (which is one of the reasons I don't really support a formal religion).

    None of you can convincingly state that you accept people for raping others, murdering them, abducting them, causing some type of harm to them, or anything else, and therefore shouldn't be saying things like how much you accept others for being different - because that's a difference, and although it's a bit of a push, is still a difference from yourselves that some of you apparently support. There has been one point in your life where you didn't like someone, didn't want to get to know someone, wanted to cease communication with someone, have been disgusted about someone, and honestly (as in, not in the heat of the moment) talked badly about someone. In all of those cases, there's a difference between you and that person that you obviously don't accept.

    I don't really accept people very well, I rather tolerate, it's easier really, like "You have the right to be/look weird, and so I respect that"
    Simple as that, but acceptance is a bit of a different issue, but differences like skin color,etc. I accept
     
    Personality wise: Only if the differences are small and I can tolerate. I don't want to accept somebody who thinks good is evil and evil is good, or one who finds robbery a hobby. I don't like having friends who are complete opposites, for that only means fighting is imminent.

    Taste wise: Of course, everybody has the right to love a different color, religion, people, and food.

    Woah! Well put Patchisou..! You said it about 200x better than I did.
     
    No. I am the best. Anybody who is remotely different from me does not deserve life. By consequence, I hate all people.

    I plan on legally marrying myself. And nobody is invited to the wedding.
