Is tolerance intolerant?

[AFTT47]

Religion aside, because it's continuing to galvanize sides, What is the mechanism that jumps us from I don't like or want something , to you can't do it?

You are either missing the point or are being deliberately dense. It's not that you shouldn't be able to things that I don't want to do. It's that you shouldn't be able to do things that harm me.

You want to give yourself lung cancer? Have at it - in your own fucking home where you don't give other people lung cancer as well! Is this really not obvious to you? You really think you should be able to spew poison in public places and anyone who doesn't want to be poisoned should be forced to go somewhere else?

You're missing the point on the public caroling thing too. You or any other private entity are already allowed public expression of religion. That is NOT the same thing as government expression of religion.

The government did not disallow anyone to play, "Baby, it's Cold Outside." The US Government doesn't have that power. One or more private entities made the decision that the lyrics of that song do not reflect the values of modern society. Nobody twisted their wrist.
