Welcome to La Palabra Del Día
There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speaker's suggestions. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.
Guidelines:
Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

Tenemos que recordar, cuando hablamos de la tolerancia, que hay muchas cosas que nuestra sociedad no tolera, y no debe tolerar, como el asesinato, la violación, o incluso la contaminación del ambiente. Una sociedad tiene que decidir en cualquier caso quién tenga el derecho más importante. Por ejemplo normalmente creemos que el derecho de no ser asesinado es más importante que el derecho de asesinar los que te molesten, y por eso no otorgamos este derecho en las sociedades modernas, por lo menos en la mayoría de los casos.
We have to remember, when we speak of tolerance, that there are many things our society does not tolerate, and must not tolerate, like murder, rape, or even pollution of the environment. A society has to decide in each case who might have the more important right. For example normally we believe that the right not to be murdered is more important than the right to kill those who might bother you, and so we don't grant this right in modern societies, at least in the majority of the cases.
