Depending on the issue(s), I probably wouldn't date them, but I'd still consider being their friend, because perhaps they could learn tolerance (as illustrated in this particular case) from me. Would they be intolerant of my tolerance? *That* would be a full-on deal breaker for me.
I think that it's not so much a person's already established viewpoints (versus morals) that could affect my attitude towards them, but their willingness to explore those viewpoints and their willingness to change them, if offered a compelling arguement. I think *that* is more an indication of morals/values.
I myself have grown and changed over the years, thanks to people who didn't write me off because I wasn't already like them. I was raised *VERY* conservatively, and I'm very grateful to the more enlightened people in my life who gave me the chance to learn from them.
I think that's one of the reasons I enjoy TFP so much. There are many different opinions here, and as long as they are communicated with respect, there is a place for them, and room for debate, input, and change.
