Yes...I think you are right about it being generational.
I am at the butt end of my life and would not have it any other way...there are things going on in the world which make me despair for humanity.
I feel as though the generation I belong to is obsolete now...we are obsolete...what we stood for is obsolete.
Just how I see it.

I'm sadly incline to agree M, however I'm sure you've had quite a impression on some and passed your morals etc on....will it be enough to turn the world around? Hmmm

Re: Is It Time For Me To Fight?
I know that I have influenced some people...i have evidence of this...but it is no good passing on your morals and ethics if no-one takes a blind bit of notice.
I just think that some people have little in the way of a moral and ethical compass.
My motto is 'would you like someone to do that to you?'
If the answer is 'NO' then it is obvious that you wouldn't do it to someone else.
All life has consequences......but there are some who would readily blame others for the consequences which blight their lives.
What you give out - you get back...Karma.

Re: Is It Time For Me To Fight?
What immigrants have to realize is that there is a difference between "diverse" and "divisive" ... And divisiveness is what was being shown at that particular business. If anyone is fostering racism, it's the assholes running that business, not the customer who is made to feel a second class citizen in the country of his birth. As I've mentioned before, Canadian government policy is to support the state of Israel, not because of pressure from the Jewish community, but because the Canadian Government (altho' Tories ) believe it is the right thing to do, and is in Canada's best interests.
I could say more ... but I gotta take my munchkin for a walkie.

Re: Is It Time For Me To Fight?
Mmm ... think my post was a little confused and incomplete. And "no" I'm not stoned ... yet. ... just busy fending off critters. But, after all my posts, most folks on here know my position on most things. Come to think of it, my favorite position will be the same as my age, come December 1.

Re: Is It Time For Me To Fight?
Well, I suspect the majority on here agree with me, we've had s terrorist alert update, we've had an idiot on site claiming in several posts that he finds my 'brown job' statement to be racist, but hang on you moron, I've worked with these folk not just here but also abroad. They are brown jobs, to them I am s white job, and black man is a black job, whatever the colour we worked together and took the pee.
No one put their race first, we got on with the job.
Only here do I find a problem of races denying we have an different colour.
Hey be proud of being purple if that happens to be your colour, but don't use it to make the white job feel uncomfortable in your company.

I've never been able to back cycle the way you do, I always think before I post.
Whatever I think about may be trash, but I do think enough not to try such a creeping turn around as you just have.
PLEASE, do as I've advised, THINK then post.

By the way I have never, nor do I expect to align myself to any political party, that would leave me without freedom to call them and you, absolute ace holes.

It must be my meds that make me think or 'not think' the way I do,perhaps I shouldn't mix them with cannabis
I've never said you talk trash (but if the cap fits) and for the record I still think your "brown jobs" remark was 'slightly racist'
I'll try to think more before typing in future (for you)

At the risk of a ban, may I just say, what a load of crap, you talk crap, you post crap, apologise for the crap you've posted, hope your crap won't be noticed.
Well, I'm sorry to tell you, not only do I see your crap, but the world sees it as well.
THINK (if you can), before you post.
Do that for me, then maybe, just maybe, you could be an asset to the site.

That's where your wrong Less, I don't hope my 'crap' won't be noticed, if I did I wouldn't post my 'crap' in the first place, it's very rare I apologise for any 'crap' I post.
And don't apologise I agree most of my replies to you are 'crap'
