For some reason, we are accepting of the British, in that we know that they speak their minds and we think that it's ok because they are British. We love Simon Cowell, because he is honest. In our own country, we are not supposed to be that bold and blunt. I think it would be better if we all just spoke our minds.
Right now to me and this gets worse as each year is tacked on with age, I think we are too tolerant of many things. Do not get me wrong, I grew up hearing we were the melting pot for years, I have no issues with anyone unless they are idiots, I do not have patience for idiots, but right now we are too tolerant of many things and its just getting worse. Just in the past 20 years think of how many things have changed that makes us feel like we are walked over on, how many times do I need to call and pay a random bill and be told to push one for English.....wth.
I agreed with you that we are too tolerant of many things. The way things have been and it's going is getting worse each day. We are just walked over and I think there's nothing we can do about them.
