Gagstastic emails part XV
Here's a portion of a gagtastic email I recently received:
So what exactly do you propose be done with those who annoy you? Have you thought about the fact that you are annoying to others? Is it okay for them to strike back at you?
It's really sad that being exposed to anyone different than yourself is so threatening to you. The quickest way to turn your mind to mush is to surround yourself only with those who think exactly like you do.
I have the right 'NOT' to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.
