"Selectman Richard Olson said tolerance toward those who signed the petition is as necessary as toward those who support gay marriage. 'If somebody feels for religious or other reasons that same sex marriage is wrong, they're entitled to it,' he said."

WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG. Let's replace his regular coffee with Folger's crystals.

"Selectman Richard Olson said tolerance toward those who own slaves is as necessary as toward those who support the abolition of slavery. 'If somebody feels for religious or other reasons that the abolition of slavery is wrong, they're entitled to it,' he said."

NO. There is NO TOLERANCE FOR THIS. There is no tolerance for hate, there is no tolerance for discrimination, there is no tolerance for denying rights to human beings. The people who feel this way must be told that they are WRONG.

People are not entitled to be wrong!!

Hehe, yeah. Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but there's nothing that says I need to be tolerant to bigotry. Now that doesn't mean I can go assault them, but I can (and should) certainly call them on it.

Yes but it wasn't wrong to own slaves until *after* the law was passed. Wrong is a matter of opinion. Not that I don't agree with you on this one buddy, but people most certainly have the right to stick their heads as far up their asses as they can, just like we have the right to yell at them about it.

Slavery is illegal, owning slaves is against the law, thinking that slavery should be around still (while moronic) is that dumbass person's right. Thoughts and opinions have to be okay, otherwise the Christian right-wing will try to enforce their views on us (yes I know that they are). Just like it's okay for us to think that the war in Iraq is wrong even though most of the government disagrees, means that these people have a right to think that same sex marriage is wrong even though logical thinking disagrees.

You can't be hypocritical and say that your opinions are more valid then other peoples', and then get mad when the other side thinks and says the same thing. The religious nuts think that their side is obviously the correct answer as well, and they have their own ways of proving it. Lately you have started sounding just like them, just with an opposite point of view.
