> 
> I'm  75 and Tired" I'm 75. I've worked hard since I was 15.  Except for some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks and rarely called in sick in nearly 50 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 that 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 offence; 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 Quran and Shari 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 madrassa Islamic schools  to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand , UK, America and  Canada, while no one from these countries is 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, something 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 oryouthful 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 that don't take  responsibility for their lives and actions. 
> 
> I'm tired of  hearing them blame the government, 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 be-deck 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 75.  Because mostly, I'm not going to have to see  the world these people are making. 
> 
> I'm just sorry for my grandchildren and their children. 
> 
> Thank God I'm  on the way out and not on the way in.
> 
> Regards,

> Grumble Bum
> 
> There is  no way this will be widely publicised, -----  unless each of us sends it on!

> 
> Imagine how I feel.I  ’m six years older than this young person!
