so we shouldn't build a society of tolerance then, that way we don't have to debate nazism for eternity. i can't imagine a greater waste of time than talking at length with neo-nazis.

Full tolerance allows us to monitor those that might be harmful. You can't convert most of them but you can watch them.

And sometimes the people the majority thinks are being intolerant will end up being right.

Bottom line though: look at all the intolerant societies with no real framework. They don't fare well. The Founders of the US Constitution believed in unalienable rights for a reason.
