I live in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) and am subjected to intolerant people and acts, day-in & day-out. Whether they have issues with homosexuality (of course, only guys, because two girls getting ‘it’ on is sexy, and anything gay is NOT sexy...) or they are the ever-so-archaic racists.

How does one deal with such people? Simple … by keeping them far away ... far far away!

It’s become so tiring dealing with shitheads and trying to not get into aggressive or confrontational situations (avoid fights, when possible). However, I, as many others, sometimes cave. (A bit of a Neanderthal attitude, but I do sometimes like it when a person with low tolerance barks at me, and I decide it is time to show them my teeth. It makes me feel slightly better, briefly.)

As for work related scenarios; I believe in boycotting, because ultimately, it is not about the money!
