I'm not sure if you have had the pleasure of seeing the commercials for this movement that is being pushed by the USA network. It shows people in white t-shirts that say "I won't stand for _____" and the people write in various things they wont tolerate such as racism, discrimination...I really cant remember all of them but essentially it is the usual laundry list. The one that is missing, and most importantly the ad should finish up with is "I wont stand for people who won't stand for differing opinions". It is a rehashing of the Bob Dylan line from "Its Alright Ma" that goes "Some say they don't hate anything at all except hatred." Don't make excuses for the PC people. The only thing they think should be tolerated are their beliefs. To all these groovy hipsters you would think dissenting opinions would be welcomed. I don't like tattoos or excessive piercings yet some of my best friends have them. We don't need to agree on everything with everyone and if they're not getting violent big deal. Speak your minds, agree to disagree and get on with it. It is funny how people always connect hate with negativity but without hate/intolerance this country would not have been founded. Now we look at this land and see how far we have deviated from what our founding fathers had in mind, individual rights and freedoms.
Some more things I wont stand for; Mob Mentality, Occupy protesters costing cities/taxpayers millions, Illegal Immigrants, Lemmings, Drum circles without Fifes, White people with dreadlocks. If you don't like what I wont stand for thats alright with me. In fact I welcome you to hate it. Hate me even, it really doesn't matter. I hope you don't mind standing in a long line. I really cant waste my life trying to force others to believe as I do.
