You know, there is no doubt that I definitely lean, and lean HARD to the left. However, that doesn't mean I'm intolerant, or that others are intolerant. That also doesn't mean all I do is bitch and not progress along with day to day to life. If that's what I did, I sure as hell wouldn't be working six to seven days a week, or any of the other things that I will do in my own life, as I'm sure that also applies to others posting.
What is a discussion topic, but an avenue to voice an opinion?
As to intolerance, I live in area which is, as much as I like it, still holds on to many intolerant views and viewpoints. Yet you will never hear ME or my children telling these others the same sort of intolerant viewpoints and insisting that the opinions we have are the only thoughts that should be voiced.
Generalization does you no favors in this discussion.
