Double Standard

CatsandDogs @CatsandDogs (13963) • United States 21 May 11

How do you feel about double standards? I hate it! I find it to be very unfair. For an example, you can't tell something to a friend but others can say the same exact thing and the friend takes it in stride. That's double...
