Yes, of course. It's a simple matter of not telling people who disagree that you think they're wrong or trying to constantly change their views. All you have to do is be able to talk and discuss things that you may not personally agree with, without attacking the other person because of their beliefs. For example, recently in the US we had our election. Some people are unable to respect others beliefs, and say things like McCain or Obama is the devil or that if you vote for them you're not American, or that one of them will definetly ruin the country, or are trying to take over and just lieing to everyone. However, respectful people can discuss politics without breaking down to this. I could say I voted for Obama because of his tax plan, while a friend could say they voted for McCain because they felt that he had more experience. I can understand their view, and they can understand mine. We don't need to constantly prove ourselves as right, though we may feel that we are. This same methodology can apply to religion, ethnicity, nationality, etc. You don't have to agree with everyone, but people you don't agree with aren't your enemies for not agreeing. The simple fact of the matter is, friends don't need to agree on a lot of things. In fact, being unique and different makes things more interesting.

yes, I think it is possible.

Yes, and we live so here in Georgia.

bien sour! i mean, we can always show respect to someone else's beliefs even if they are the opposite of what we believe in Descartes says "i will defend your right to express yourself with my life, even if i disagree with you". When you don't share someone else's belief's you can tell him so, but tell him frankly that you apreciate his/her honesty obout what he/she believe and respect his/her standing for what he thinks!

just respect ourselves , then , we can compel others to respect us ,,and conversely...
