What are you intolerant of? We're all intolerant of something, no matter how much "tolerance" is preached.

Don't say "intolerance"

    The hypocrisy of tolerance is when something the same becomes different like 1950s teen love for rock&roll, marginally intolerant  but many degrees more intolerant when something different dares being the same.. Rosa Parks sitting in the front of the bus same era. This post was edited by O-uknow at July 1, 2017 10:50 PM MDT

    Wow that's a long list of things to be so intolerant of, especially given we ALL at some point in our lives have or will be accused of all by someone.

  • Not so much intolerant but I do secretly snicker at heavy tattooing, stupid piercings, clownish hair dying, stretched ear lobes.

    Yeah, I'm not intolerant of people wanting to alter their appearance in those ways or any way...I just think to myself(especially when I see a young beautiful girl all tatted up and having those big stretched out ear lobes  "oh man you're so going  to regret what you did to your body while in your youth WHEN you're in your 40's and beyond because that "look" LOOKS nasty on older women"....just a fact.

  • Yes. The heavily tattooed  people in their 20's now will be the most laughable seniors off all time in a few decades.

    I know lol!!! Eh but when we're young (no matter what generation), we as the youth at that time, think in our minds that we're never going to get old lol...thankfully back when I was in my teens and early 20's (70's and 80's).. women getting large tattoos on their legs, arms, upper backs and tramp stamps, or getting nose, belly, lip piercings and gages in their ears were not a fad/trend back then!! The fad/trend back then for my generation of young women(because of Jane Fonda's work out videos and that movie Perfect with Jamie Lee Curtis with them both being Aerobic instructors being amazingly fit at their ages) was motivation for my girlfriends and I to join a gym to work out and healthy because we wanted to look just as good as Jane Fonda when we were in our 40's and 50's. Eh for the past 10 years the trend for a lot of young women is to get tatted up, pierce themselves in many different areas and to accept and love their unhealthy body weight, that only encourages them to not change their unhealthy eating habits because they're told to love their "curves" ..which is ironic given how for the past 8 yrs Michelle Obama as our 1st Lady was a positive advocate for healthy eating and working out...but yet at the same time our liberal media and women's magazines were simultaneously encouraging overweight women to love and accept their bodies,, smh.

    Ever worked an EDO ward? Try it some time. Encouraging girls to love their curves is better than encouraging anorexia/bulimia.

    I'm intolerant towards bratty children and disrespectful teenagers as well as their parents who give in to their bratty child's tantrums and let their teenagers get away with their disrespectful behavior towards them and their teachers.  Whenever a friend's child or teenager has acted bratty or spoke in a disrespectful tone and using curse words to their parent(s) in my presence I ALWAYS sternly reprimand that child/teenager about their unacceptable behavior....only because I know their parent(s) won't/don't reprimand their kids..and OF COURSE that friend(lazy parent) is always thankful for you getting their child to behave that day ugh.

    Poor customer service tops the list. That's the industry I'm in, I know what level of service I would provide and I won't tolerate less than a large percentage of that. Make an effort, ffs.

  • I'm intolerant of liars, those who try to destroy this country, political correctness, crybabies, feminism, ANTIFA, communism, fascism, bullies. People that blame others for their own stupidity and mistakes. There are others but those are among the top ones.
