Vegans get offended when people eat meat. Should we ban meat eating right away, or do we wait until the vegans get violent and threaten with terror attacks?

Isn't being tolerant about accepting that some people see things a different way and allowing them to live the life they want to live? Provided that they don't hurt others while doing so?

I agree that the quran burnings are deliberate provocations, and that's why they do it. If everybody just said "Meh, what a disrespectful cunt" and moved on, the burnings would stop in no time.

I don't want the disrespectful burnings to continue, but I also don't want that laws should be dictated by people who threaten with violence unless the laws are changed. Tricky situation to say the least.
