It just seems to me that people are generally un-accepting of other people's opinions. With most it's a my way or the highway approach and there is no room for compromise. What we need is tolerance for different lifestyles and ideas, what we need to do is listen at least as much as we speak. It is not right to immediately dismiss one's opinions as "stupid" just because they conflict with your own. Sure people today are much more tolerant, but in no way are we all the way there, we constantly fight battles every day that serve to put certain people down. Your life, your opinions belong to you, the same is true for other people so try to have some respect.
What intolerance can breed is hatred, fear, war you name it. Sure I don't expect this to change in the near future, just keep this in your memory
