[QUOTE="GlabrousDory4, post: 73640123, member: 415804"] I am mortified by the photo but gosh ahmighty I do worry about the world we are creating. Indeed we seem to have leveraged technology to become as gods. We know literally every sin every person ever committed at any point in their lifetime. With that scrutiny there is not a human alive who could sit in judgement of another person. Which would be a good thing. Maybe once ALL OUR SINS are clear and easily seen by EVERYONE ELSE we will dial it back a bit and ask if someone can, indeed, have been stupid and done incredibly dumb things when they were in their 20's. I used to be a product of my upbringing (soft midwestern racist and homophobic) but thanks to the kindness of people I encountered in my life I've changed. I've grown and tried to become a better person. I remember those growth points and what turned me to finally think about that which was handed me. If I were the VA governor I'd step down and say "Look, I don't recall this, but yeah, we did amazingly stupid stuff in the past." His recent attempt to say "that's not me!" is kinda pathetic. But indeed, we are all fallen and NONE of us deserve the respect of our fellow humans. The best we can hope for is to be gracefully granted that respect, even though we don't deserve it. The first step is to accept that we are flawed. [/QUOTE]
