Intolerance is when you fixate on a trait you dislike, and when you see someone with this trait, you become blind to everything else about them. For instance, suppose I disliked the Yankees baseball team. If I decided all Yankees fans were bad people, I would be intolerant. If I refused to hire Yankees fans, I would be engaging in discrimination (albeit legal in the US). If I condemned anyone who lives in New York, just because there's a good chance they are a Yankees fan, that would be analogous to what Democrats are doing now with their sweeping condemnations of a quarter of the country. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
