What Makes You Angry Today?

[Tim Cake]

Hey Combat

I understand how you feel. I've felt that way myself, a long time ago. You may not believe it now but in time at least some of that hatred will go away. As far as assholes, they're everywhere and every size, shape, and color. That won't ever change.

Finding a new gym may solve the problem in the short term but there's no guarentee that there won't be people you don't like at a new one either. I hope you find a good solution for yourself.

Sounds like "Rectum uber alles"...o_O

For me it is Colombians. Every time I hear that particular flavor of Spanish, or even the accented English, I get all scary feeling. Good thing the Mexican chica I married doesn't speak a lick of Spanish.

Scousers. f*ck I hate that accent.

 

[Sludge]

Scousers. f*ck I hate that accent.

Huh? Don't know that term, me.

 

[JarHed]

Ok, guess I'll be the voice of reason here. I know we all have hatred for our 'enemies' and are all prejudiced, myself included. So, I'm not exempt from the feeling ya'll have, I have them too. I'll just say this; I don't think it's good to post this stuff. We're an open site and we have many visitors. Everyone has there own opinions on this and this is mine. Again, I'm not setting myself up like I have any holier than thou attitude or anything like that. Just don't think we should go there. My 2cents.

So, here a story. There are at least two vietnamese families that live down the block from me. I sometimes see them walking with their kids. At first I didn't know how I felt about that. I didn't feel like running out there and cursing or worse at them.

My mailman is vietnamese. He's a real nice kid. I had a conversation with him a while back and asked if he was in fact vietnamese. He said yes and he asked me how I knew that. I kind of kept it short and also told him that I served in 'Nam. A few days after that he I was outside when he delivered the mail and he stopped to talk to me. He told me his parents wanted to thank me for my service while in their country and if it wasn't for people like me they would be dead now. They just wanted me to know that they were glad I made it back and how glad they were to be in America. I was certainly taken back by that. I never thought that I'd ever hear anything like that.

As it is for most vets the welcome home is usually lacking. And one I get from people now are bit too late, but that's one I truly appreciate and will remember.

I also know that hate is a terrible thing and will eat you up inside. It's hard but you have to try and find your own peace with it. Again, just Jar's 2cents.

Yes, on a serious note, Jar has made a very good point. And even when 'sides' are different, the races are different, the colours are different, if you have done your job professionally and decently, it is surprising how many times, later down the line, that good karma comes back.
I wouldn't have thought it, but I can get on with many previous 'thems'.
There's a place for hate, it is a natural human feeling. And there are some bastards I will never forgive.
But getting wound up by every bugger who resembles old threats isn't going to help healing.

Flipping the coin a bit here so here goes.

The last couple of post are going the line of "Them" (ragheads, vietnamese or what ever your nationality of hate chice is) from places we have served and the inconvenience and must trust of them when they are in "Our" country.

So that would mean, If we switch to black and white as that is how most of us think, that "I" as a Brit living in Germany am one of "Them" as is Wagon living in Norway and NaO in ZA

Now Allies in Europe is only 3 generations old, and Europeans in Africa is a god hundred years or so. But as Jar and Ned have mentioned is that realy the way to go?

But yet in most instances, we are not looked down on. Those parts of History and the nations involved have moved on and "Learnt"

I for my part do have problems with certain Nationalities and Accents (Scousers aside- They are just wrong but that is a different matter). And even with the "Hate" I still carry with me, I have reached a point where I can at least Accept why they were the way they were and did what they did, even there reasons for fighting as they did.

Few countries around the world can Field a Mass Profesional Army, and so they resort to fighting as best they can with the tools they have.
Exactly the same as we would if our countries were invaded by a Bigger foreign power.

Right or wrong is Relative. Mainly to which side you were on, and funnily enough both side were "Right" if you ask the correct person.

Now on a more serious note. Jibby was here not so long ago, and a lot of you on here knew him, for those of you that don`t, he got on the subject of Nationalities and what should happen with some, and he got Banned.

The site here is a resource to help us move on in our lives and deal with the Beast we carry. And is not meant to be used to Foul mouth other people, irespective of the reason you think you have to do so.

But the biggest reason we have problems with "Them" when in our own countries is pure and simple.

Insecurity. and I do not mean at a National level. Our own Insecurity in a world in which we find it hard to find our place.

I don`t know Wagon cocker.

I love the Jehova`s Witnesses, their commitment to the cause, but what I love the most of course, is picking holes in their Bible.

Only recruiters I have time for these days, realy brightens the day up.

They allways tell me I will end up in hell. If only they knew I booked a room years ago. With a view mind but booked it is none the less.

But knowing my luck, the Devil will throw me out for punching some moaner. Sods bloody law.

 

[Wagon]

I wish it was Jehova's Witnesses. No Executive Job Recruiters.......There is a special place in hell for them.

Angle, your right. We all have issues which unless we are in a private conversation, we can't speak openly about. I hate the fact that so many immigrants in my country have their hand out and want to change where they are living to their culture, yet if I was to go to their country and do the same, I would be thrown in jail to rot or worse shot.

An example is the coalition deaths at the hands of so called friendlies. I think if you we're to investigate you would find a lot of those cases were from insults. Just from listening to the grapevine I know it to be true. And they get away with it.
Yet, if we were to do the same here, we would end up in jail. They insult our customs and traditions all the time. Pisses me off.

Also, while I am on the warpath, watch one of our tv shows, border patrol.
The supervisors of immigration are not even Aussie born..

UK F*CKING GOVERNMENT MORONS

I Need to get my Passport and that for my son renewed. No Big deal realy, Never used to be at least.

So I have been on the UK Gov. website just checking what I need. No big worries, nothing has changed so just an application and oh yeah the fee.

Passports were never realy to expensive. so what does it cost today

72,50GBP by post or 81,25 GBP through the post office. So that is not to bad. so around 140GBP for both of us, Right!

BUT NO! I DECIDED TO STAY IN GERMANY AFTER SERVING QUEEN AND COUNTRY.

SO FOR 10 YEARS BLOOD, SWEAT and MENTAL HEALTH I AM EXPECTED TO PAY.

F*CKING WAIT FOR IT.................................249,22GBP

147,86GBP for me and
101,36 GBP for my nipper.

249,22GBP for us both because I live out side the F*cking UK, while Morons who aren`t even born in the UK but who live there long enough can get one for 72,50GBP.

And I am still F*CKING STUPID enough to have my OATH of ALLEGIANCE hanging on my wall and am ready to answer the call when it comes.

A mark up of 100GBP For serving my F*cking Country.

F*CKING BASTARDS.

I am Now seriously looking into changing nationality.

I am contemplating writing to the Queen and the PM and letting them know what a F*cking Disgrace it is. that those of us who answered a call are being F*cked over yet again. While arseholes who suck the country dry get the nationality handed to them on a silver f*cking plate.

It isn`t F*cking often I complain about the land I am (was?) willing to die for. But this is certainly tops for giving me a reason to turn terrorist and go on a shooting spree to take out all Politicians

F*CKING BASTARDS
