<<Tolerance really means: I want you to tolerate what I want to do whether it is right, wrong or injurious to others or not, but I will not tolerate you disagreeing with me -- that is worse than hate or murder or sexual depravity or anything else.>>

tolerance- n. The capacity for respecting the beliefs or practices of others. leeway for variation from a standard.

Without tolerance, you get intolerance. with intolerance, you get absolutism, and someone making up the absolutes. I have yet to meet hte person that I would want to to make up absolutes for me.
I also recognize that not all people are going to believe the way I do, but at least I can respect their right to a differring opinion.
