I Won't Stand For It

I am not a man who cares for most things. That is something that I declare boldly because if you know me at all, it is a glaring character trait. I can be fairly outspoken regarding people, places, or things that are ridiculous or unnecessary. I feel like we should all be this way. There are too many things in the world that we live in that we have tolerated for far too long. If we take a stand against these things, perhaps they will go away and maybe, just maybe, life will be a little more enjoyable. I have made a short list of such things. This is not a complete list, just a number of things I have compiled over the past several weeks. Feel free to add to it if you'd like, because I certainly will be doing a "Part 2" at some point. So here it is, my official list of "Intolerable things that we tolerate."
