Maybe it'd be more better if you learned to respect folks with differing opinions rather then blind yourself to the world around you with your intolerance.
Would this include tolerance by and for people on all sides of an issue? Would respect also include respect for truth, that is if one really respects a person would they, to the best of their ability speak the truth with them?
Is intolerance also refusing to listen to information which may influence your opinion? For instance if someone explains (with proof) how the TMT will not pollute the water table, should you listen to and consider that information, or blindly keep repeating that the TMT will pollute the water table (without any proof)?
Is respect and tolerance a one way street or two way street?
