ZERO tolerance....in the USA ????

I grew up in a Christian environment. One of the PRIMARY teachings of Christ was one of tolerance. Not to judge other people. That was Gods job. We are supposed to live in harmony with our neighbors.
So if America...land of the free....uses the Christian bible as its moral compass.
How can ANY person take a ZERO tolerence policy in the USA????

Anything can be justified if you twist and spin it enough.
It's not the way it should be, but......that's the game I guess.

I think it is a sign of our decline as a world power. How can a nation based on life, liberty, and the persuit of personal happiness take a hypocrital(sp) stance like this.
A perfect example is the company that is FIRING its employees for using cigaretts.
A LEGAL drug.
Some people will defend them by saying that people who smoke cause the company money (more sick days, less productive etc..). If that is true then they could be dropped from the insurance if someone chooses to smoke. Pay them less per hour if their productivity is off or if they have an attendance policy.
FIRING someone for leading a lifestyle that you dont agree with is NOT the American way, nor is it in Americas best interest IMO.

Yeah....the US is one of the biggest frauds in the world. It's NOT the land of the free, or the home of the brave.....there is life, but not liberty, and definately no right to pursue happiness. America is an intolerant, hateful, bullying country. I hope this changes in our lifetime, but at the moment it is getting worse. Hanky, don't hope for this to continue, hope for it too change for the better. Hope that the aware and attuned Americans can open the eyes and minds of the docile, ignorant, intolerant and blind Americans.....hope for the collapse of our f**ked up government, not continued persecution of our people. Trust me, as much as the rest of the world dislikes our current government and it's policies, many Americans dislike it even more. I would like nothing better than to see the whole world join as one and overthrow all the assholes in power, and bring an era of peace, love, and tolerance to all.
