Should then, there be a law against every social faux pas? Should we consult the policemen for every possible personal affront? You know, for cultural progress.
This is not the purpose of the state. The state is there to protect people from violence. Being intolerant of someone is not necessarily violent, and I don't see a need to involve the authorities for every situation where someone was mean to someone. You evidently do, so I don't think we're going get anywhere discussing this.
