I tolerably treat when people behave themselves homosexual or transvestite in their home or in other indoor areas. I am against any display of discrimination against them, let’s say, during job recruitment. I do not tolerate, when he preaches his lifestyle and thus violates the rights of us, the “naturals” and religious people. It is normal when the person organizes its private life in his own way. It is abnormal when he openly demonstrates his life, offending the feelings of others.
It is normal when the man is fighting for the change of power or “preservation of power”. It is abnormal when they try to make you to take part in the fight by blackmail and intimidations of “moral character”. There can be people in Armenia who think that it is not the most important and the most principal issue, can’t they. And it is not mandatory that this way minded people are bad citizens. It is normal that the man leaves his homeland and has found or is trying to find his welfare and happiness in another country.
It is normal when he feel pain when speaking or writing about the problems of his homeland. It is abnormal when he tries to convince us that his move is the only true choice, and those who are left in Armenian, are either slaves, or a plunderer, or a fool.
I admit, when people say to me, “I do not agree with you”, “You are wrong,” “You are in delusion.” I do not tolerate when people say, “You are lying,” “You are executing an order,” “You have no right to think (or say) so.” I delete such people from my Facebook page, because it is my personal territory, and here I can communicate with whomever you wish. I do not want to communicate with people who have steady ideas, with “offenders” unhappy with everything, staff missioners, stereotyped political parties or politicized maniacs. I think we all have this right, regardless of our degree of tolerance. “Aravot” website, unlike the Facebook, is a public territory. People here can write what they want (and, as you can see, they do write), if it is in conformity with the rules of writing in the website, and as to conformity or inconformity, it is not me to decide.
It is normal when people do not like something, do not accept and want to change. It is abnormal when they get blind of hatred and are hostile to the whole world.
