Agreed and also people need too be more tolerant.

Yes...But no.

We need to be tolerant of those with different beliefs, backgrounds, practices, values...whatever. Live and let live.

But we do not always need to be tolerant of bad or rude behavior. Sometimes it's better to speak up and say no.

Bad or rude behavior about something is simply one's opinion. Loud music might be something you do not like and think it is bad behavior, others like it. Everyone needs too chill.

Well said. As above, tolerance is a 2-way street. Not everyone has the same critical thinking concerning Live Free or Die. As we have seen.

Well said thanks for agreeing with me.

Yes indeed. One has a choice to follow a Zen like approach. Kumbaya, "be one with your environment".

I am aware of a different local situation occurring where the people living in the areas unexposed to a major noisy nuisance made the same tolerance recommendations to those who were exposed to the brunt of the situation for hours on end. Despite all nearby neighbors petitioning against what was affecting their neighborhood, others from miles away, totally unexposed to the noise, would chime in with the hackneyed "I thought this was the Live Free or Die state". The neighbors close to the nuisance, it appears, have now prevailed.

It's easy to tolerate and understand little kids having fun in the water for example. This is something totally different.
Perhaps a few understanding, considerate and empathetic adults will read this thread and say "hey, maybe I didn't understand how disruptive this really is". Our son does NOT play music in the boat as he was brought up to respect the feelings and concerns of others. He "TOLERATES" the need to be a good neighbor. Which was my point in starting this thread. To help people understand that their behavior has consequences that are more far reaching than the perimeter of their boat. Yes, tolerate young kids playing in the water. A boat playing heavy metal music at full blast while slowly traversing the area is another situation altogether.

As far as "Chill, those that annoy you they will all be gone in a few weeks" ...so too will the summer fade away. We all endure the cold winters, and we too look forward to those fleeting warm days spent outside with friends and family.
Tolerance is a 2 way street.

Indeed you should heed your own words.

Oh we are tolerant. It's when the volume gets high we get upset.
