This just about sums it up id say RANT [View all]

this is 2023.

One of my earliest memories of television is seeing Yassar Arifat and some things going down in Israel on CBS evening news with Walter Cronkite.

Here i am 3 years old in 1976, and can remember that 21" inch console Zenith showing me people hurting other people in a land far away.

Throughout the years it kept going on and on and on.

Im 50 fucking years old, and honestly whats changed? Atrocities committed in the name of some damn belief. Kids and babies blown up, hostages taken, bloodshed all in the name of two conflicting stories of an entity who owns a patch of damn desert. Powerful nations exploited this notion for gain.

This shit never ends. It's probably going to do us all in.......
