My apologies for being overly serious for Mojo Friday, but it's what's on my mind. Two things immediately brought them to mind. First was a comment on my FB page where I linked to Kaili Joy Gray's diary; Sandra Fluke's a slut because her boyfriend's a dirty Jewish Jew. The other was seeing mallyroyal's diary; Seen On Bumper Sticker: "Don't Re-Nig in 2012"!!. And then there's the intolerance that occurs on this site from time to time. Intolerance generally comes from ignorance. Ignorance doesn't mean you're stupid, it means you lack the knowledge about a subject to make an informed opinion.
There are those who choose to remain ignorant because to become informed means they may have to let go of long held "beliefs". Beliefs don't equal knowledge, but you can have an informed belief. You can have a belief established on well known, verifiable and established facts. Well known and established opinions do not equal facts.
