vision63 thanks for your very moving insight into your life. It took courage to put that on here.
I'll admit I've never known anyone that has had to live in the "system". It seems like a world away from
the world I've lived in and so I apologize for any feelings I may have hurt or toes I may have stepped on.
The world I grew up was far from being affluent that's for sure. Having worked with my hands as a skilled
laborer I've never was without work during my entire career. I better let this one go, I've obviously said
too much already.
I'm not willing to condemn you yet. I think the OP took courage too. You had a POV that you knew would not be popular and you put it out there. You've shown an ablitiy to listen to others and adjust your opinion as well. The language you used was appropriate - you didn't make any broad declarations, you presented your opinion as an opinion - not as fact.
Frankly - THIS is the kind of thread I'd like to see more of. People actually talking about stuff - not just smacking each other around with the brilliant text they've found on the net that proves once and for all that their opponent is a nazi.
well done, I say...
