Couldn't agree more with every sentiment expressed, and I'm 4 years older than he.Been preaching the same gospel for some time but he has expressed it far better than I.Bravo. .  ( I was always considered a to be a bit "bolshie" in my youth and as you can see, haven't changed much. Politically like some of the Left wing policies, but also like some of the Right too. curently 60/40 R v L). Come on someone, somewhere ,liven things up a bit and express YOUR comments. Please.  Ron

  apparently by a 76 year old in UK

                              Worth repeating


                                This should be required reading for every man, woman and child on this planet........? 
                                  
                                "I'm 76 and I'm Tired"
                                 
                                I'm 76. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service,

                                I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious health challenges,
                                I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable
                                salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am.
                                Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.  
                                  
                                I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic.
                                I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary,
                                and give it to people too lazy to earn it.         
                                    
                                I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens
                                of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honour";
                                of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because
                                they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape
                                victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah,
                                because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.  
                                    
                                I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab
                                countries use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia,
                                New Zealand, UK, America and Canada, while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church,
                                synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..  
                                  
                                I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.

                                I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them,
                                and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder
                                up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off? 
                                  
                                I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent
                                mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was
                                getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.  
                                  
                                I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing
                                them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems. 

                                I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's bedeck
                                themselves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves un-employable and claiming
                                money from the Government. 
                                  
                                Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 76.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see
                                the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and her children.  
                                Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.
