How about you give us bald guys a break? Not only was the baldness of your teacher the defining characteristic, but you had to come round for another go, some BS about confidence. There are lots of us Jack. Sorry we aren’t perfect Get over it.
Hmmm, it’s a perfectly good question Peter, and people of my generation (early 60s) are abundantly guilty of all sorts of racism and oppression. In short my confession, mild as I hope it was, is something I feel so awful about I have kept it locked inside me, so I can’t really tell you how others really feel. Ergo I can’t answer the question. But I like your analogy - like a tattoo! 🙂
I’m guilty Jack. As a cradle catholic I feel the need to confess. Like you, I have ditched regular “worship” as I feel the central points of the Christian message have been utterly lost, at least in my local churches, and my wife was always puzzled when I kept coming home from church more angry than when I’d left…
But I am guilty….
I’ve sometimes observed, trying to be funny perhaps yet knowing it’s not… that after 3,000 years of oppression, can they not sometimes take a look in the mirror and try to ask themselves if they’re not being just a tad annoying? Avoid asserting that they are the “chosen race” perhaps. That’s all it is for me - a bit annoying. But I keep that to myself, in the same way as I avoid mentioning a trace of halitosis to a close friend.
Is this assertion you talk about widely and unambiguously articulated in this generation? I mean ,really? Or perhaps a case of a grievance once expressed which remains indelible, like a tattoo.
