An apology to many
I have been known to spout that what the world needs is a good war.
I hold my hands up and say that is high on the most naive, insensitive, disrespectful and hurtful things I've ever said. At the top, I'd say. And I said it more than once.
I apologise. I hope that my thoughtless and insensitive comments did not dredge up your own personal pain in any of you. If they did, I truly apologise.
While not wishing to try to excuse it, because it can't be, I would like to share how my view has changed.
War is horrific. It affects those experiencing it, the people who know and love them and those who don't know them but are able to put themselves in the place of those who suffer. It affects the lives of people for generations, and not only those who were in the countries directly affected.
No one would wish that on another if they knew the reality. I can only say that I was shut down and distanced from people in an effort to protect myself from what has been a scary world for me. I have gone through much of my life alone and unable to form close connections. I hadn't realised the extent to which I was so tightly wound up and closed off from the world. It was also due to having lived a relatively easy life (compared to many). While I've lived with fear as my companion for approximately 40 years, I hadn't had to fear for my life or the lives of others. Nor have I understood the experience of being responsible for the torture of others.
I have only now, in the past few minutes, been able to let go of the spring that had been so tightly keeping me distanced from others. I now can grasp what it is like to be scared for your life and to to be uncertain about what to do to keep yourself and others safe, who to trust and how to keep moving forward while not doing something that would bring negative effects to others.
Again, I apologise and I can only repeat my thoughts on the matter have dramatically changed.

I think you need to stop worrying about what you think some blokes on the internet think of you or your opinions. We don’t really care.
You’re as sensitive as OML. Are you on your periods?

I don't know how to respond to that.

That's just ridiculous. You were right, the world does need a good war to get things back in shape and order. Yes, many will die and many more will suffer - as always. But there's no real alternative, at this point. No need to apologize for saying that!
What a stupid thing to say. If there is a war then I hope only you and those who think like you are counted among the dead and the rest of us get left the fuck alone to get on with our lives and watch our children grow up in peace. Maybe assholes like you being removed from the equation will "get things back in shape and order".Alex wrote:That's just ridiculous.

I used to be a narcissist, but now look at me......!!!!!!
My posts are just jokes, maybe they're rude, offensive, and politically incorrect. They're not my opinion, viewpoint, idea, or judgement, but they're just fucking jokes so lighten up.

I’ve just reached out to a fella I went to primary school with to say sorry for claiming that throw-in. I knew i had touched the ball last.
And to my da, yeah that scrape on the back panel of the car in 1992. That was me.
I’ll publish a full list on here in due course so everyone can know how repentant I am - but it’s not all about me.

I am sooooo very sorry if you can't understand or appreciate my sarcastic facetiousness.

Not sure i'm buying this thread.
In my experience the only wars chicks have any interest in are the ones on Coronation Street or Eastenders.
