That's nice of you. I admit that I am not always on the straight and narrow, therefore I do not require others to be perfect in order to make my day. I do not go out of my way to make others uncomfortable, but I am not PC either...just to make others happy. If you cannot be flexible on ridiculous little superficial rules, then it seems disingenuous to be flexible on statutory laws, such as immigration violations. Just my opinion.

Like I said, I pity those that require ALL their happiness dependent on others conforming to their standards. Some folks believe in extremes, not understanding the term "moderation." Americans are supposed to be TOLERANT, but it is obvious by some comments that tolerant is not in their accepted terms. I presume that some on here would suggest that I am accessory to these rule violations if I do not rat on my neighbors' breaking of the rules.

At any rate, my intent was not to encourage breaking of the rules but to be tolerant when dealing with your neighbors. There's an old saying that goes something like "what goes around, comes around." It seems to me that some are demanding that others be INTOLERANT when they do not condone someone else's actions. Where have I heard that before?
