    So frustrated at the few self-entitled folks here...

    What public behavior do you find most irritating?

    aggressive drivers. People that throw trash out of their cars. Rudeness in public (the only time I see this is online) which I rarely ever see ....I have to go online to see racism cruelty and ignorance.

    Do we need constant war?

    Perpetual war. I read that recently. We always seem to have a dangerous enemy. Always half way around the world. We all know oil was the reason for many after the Vietnam thing. Cold wars. And the $$$$ we spend on it. The saying is "I know the weapons that will be used in WW3 but the next...

    I remember seeing older people when I was young and all the bruised skin. Usually women and I thought "someone is hitting them" Now I get bruises easily on my hands and arms. I attributed some of it to working in the FLa sun for almost 40 yrs as a PE teacher. My skin is like paper and...
