ct690911:
ps...one final thought, the OP is in his mid-fifties, yet refers to himself as "old"...is he being honest?...to someone in his teens he probably is, but to someone in his mid-eighties?, not so much...honesty, like most everything else, is relative.

I assume by OP you are referring to me.
I was born on 19 November 1958.
I have endured huge amounts of hardship in my almost 58 years on this planet. I feel old. Relativity has absolutely nothing to do with this.
You have no right to say what you said. What must I do to prove I'm honest? I had parents who believed that black people were untermensch. My father boasted to all of us that he once punched a black who tried to jump on a bus he was on and that he fell off the bus and died. I was 5 years old when he told that story.
I served in the South African Army as an ops medic. I spent over a year in what was then known as South West Africa, now Namibia. I'm not proud of what happened and what I witnessed. If I had complained I would not have survived. Silence is consent?
I have endured abusive relationships and always blamed myself.
Yes I am honest. I'm f u c k e d, thanks to this country.
Your response however, was trite.
Quite simply: F U C K you and the horse you rode in on.
Walk a mile in my shoes, and then, appreciate your own life.
Punk.
