    I'm not a tolerant person
    In fact I get more intolerant by the day
    I just find it more and more difficult to tolerate assholes
    As my tolerance decreases, their numbers seem to increase
    Every day there's more and more of them
    And every day I have less and less patience
    I'm not a mere bigot
    But I certainly don't cut any slack to anyone on the merit of their status as an oppressed minority
    Your people were enslaved? Tough luck
    The white man stole your land? Too fuckin' bad
    Your fair sex is plagued by date rape? Grin and bear it
    These days everyone has a sob story, and frankly, I don't care
    It's no excuse for being an asshole
    We live in the age of the excuse
    We live in the age of the asshole
    They're everywhere
    They come in all shapes, all sizes, all colors
    There are black assholes, white assholes, women assholes, men assholes, queer assholes, straight assholes, smart assholes, stupid assholes, suburban assholes, inner-city assholes, homeless assholes, upwardly-mobile assholes, lazy assholes, incompetent assholes, sloppy assholes, anal assholes
    And so it goes, ad nauseum
    Why should I tolerate any of them?
    Why should I tolerate anything I don't care for, for any length of time?
    Why should I pretend it's okay?
    I don't like assholes
    Don't like talking to them; don't like talking about them
    Don't like knowing them; don't like knowing about them, or their thoughts, or their deeds
    Assholes are like bad ideas
    You let even a single one into your life, it can begin to ruin things
    It can destroy what's good, and foster much that's bad
    Why tolerate that?
    Tolerance was a virtue once; no more
    There aren't enough hours in the day to tolerate all the assholes
    To tolerate all the indignities hurled your way and still be able to live a decent life
    Perhaps Goethe said it best: that which disturbs your soul, you must not suffer
    Remember that when it seems like assholes are hard at work to disturb your soul 24 hours a day
    Take a tip from Mr. Intolerance: don't permit them to
