53. Wrong Attitude
That smacks of "America, Love it or Leave it", or "You're either with us or against us".

With the statement, "When they tolerate me, I'll tolerate them", where does it end?

It's circular, it's immature.

I hate to use an old saying, but I think it applies here.

"Grant me the serenity to change the things I can change, accept the things I can't and the wisdom to know the difference."

In the original, the word GOD precedes the sentence, but for the sake of this conversation, I left it out.

Think about it.
