Too often I see people misuse the term "intolerance"; come to think of it, I believe I see it misused more often than used correctly. To tolerate something is to allow it to exist without interference. The VAST majority of people just don't give enough of a shit to actually interfere with other people peaceably living their lives on account of them have differing views on a given issue or leading a lifestyle they find reprehensible; it is an extremely small minority of people anywhere on the sociopolitical spectrum who are actually, truly intolerant of others.
