Sometimes it is attention they seek, more than anything else. But one characteristic I've found is that they insist they are the only ones that are right - a rather typical characteristic of conversatives, in my opinion. Okay, maybe a very broad generalization, but that's from my own experience. More liberal minded people can agree to disagree on something - conservatives generally don't, and insist on ensuring their point of view prevail, and everyone else must agree - differing opinions are simply unthinkable. Oh well, in the final analysis, there will be all kinds of people you'll come across at one time or another - some tolerable, some not - it's the difference in people we meet that makes life interesting sometimes. ;) I’ve found that the best way to deal with them is to not pander to their tantrums, and ignore them as much as I can.

Sartre's ideas definitely form / influence much of current thought and beliefs. Fundamentalism? we generally subscribe to a degree of fundamentalism... whether we are away of it for not... perhaps, a better term would be 'orthodoxy'.

We all want blonde hair, white skin (like minishorts), pretty face, long hair, cute butt and a firm tummy but some of us just didn't get them. God was somewhat selective.

Your reflection is quite impressive. You asked some fundamental questions. But are you sure that tolerance is the solution ? The tolerating choice is kinda inactive but it's a choice.
