Age discrimination is as old as prostitution, even the different age classes in ancient Rome would bemoan each other. We don't live in Toy town and nobody has the god given right to not feel slighted, rebuked, or even insulted, praise would lose its meaning if fairy dust was blown into everyone's face. Indeed, 'inappropriate' remarks can be a wake up call to the recipient. Every age has its capabilities and drawbacks, to be told one is too old to sell fashion clothes to teenagers or too young to be an advice giver is just telling it as it is. Today I became 76 and am grateful for the good physical and mental condition I find myself in but I know my limitations however I am also aware of the vast accumulation of knowledge that I possess.......and I just don't care.

Sounds like a right little angel.

Of all the gifts god did na gie us to see ourselves as others see us.

YES, go woke, go broke.

I was recently quoted 6 weeks by VFS.

No, it couldn't be proved that the genitals shown in the photos were his.

Not a real monk obviously....he didn't have any temple boys with him, his disguise of being drugged up didn't work.

He's certainly talking a lot, he seems to have just read a book on best business operations....'supply-driven strategy' is a term that has stuck with him, western 'business speak' sounds so important, designed to impress and confuse his colleagues who only want to know where they can scrape a little cream off the top.

The barbarian hordes can't wait to flood over our 'island home'.....they're in for a disappointment, even the islanders want to leave.

Stop swearing.

I can agree with that.

What makes you so sure? I used to admire him and now I don't, his reaction to this damning statement is of no concern to me just as my statement is of no concern of his.

Hard for me to imagine that I used to admire this man.

but not someone we wanted on our side, I just hope the gold digger takes him for all he's got.

I wouldn't call getting threatened and robbed trivial.

Quite a jungle out there.

Or the circumstantial evidence, whichever you consider logical.

Probably with two nationalities. Just for fun, give me your immediate mental image when someone says American,.....correct, small build, black hair, mandel eyes. It's like, give me a mental image when someone says British,.....correct, an Islamist with dark complexion, wearing a bed sheet and sandals. How about a mental image of 'woke',.....correct, desperate, hypocritical, doesn't get any.

A letter is no longer being issued.

Why should she have to press charges, it was an attempted robbery in a public place.

She couldn't remember what he looked like but gave an exact description of his dick.

depends who you are with at the time, otherwise it is merely a cleaning up operation.

Yes, my cousin is bipolar since his teens, now as an old man he has discarded his medication after engaging in mindfulness meditation, his big breakthrough came when during meditation he tried to find what it was that was depressed and couldn't find it, he has improved tremendously and rarely has an attack.

If you are unhappy in a situation there are only 3 options, (1) change it, (2) leave it, (3) accept it without internal complaint, anything else is madness. Those are not cliches, the ego needs enemies to fight which results in tension, the ego isn't real per se, it is a collection of indoctrinations and societal norms bundled up as a package with the mind and determines the 'me', once the 'me' is seen for what it is, an illusion, you can become the non judgmental observer of 'what is'. As Shakespeare said, "nothing is good or bad, only thinking makes it so." It is my belief,and that of many wise sages, that you are an independent unit of consciousness that has identified with its avatar, it is covered in layers of ego, thoughts and fears, once these layers are stripped away it will realize its full potential and act accordingly, only then will things change for the better, you will find peace.....sorry for the sermon.

Not now, he has the document to prove it.
