I'm Confused......

[ToraToraTora]

I used to think I was just a regular person, but I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist.

I am heterosexual, which now makes me a homophobe.

I am mostly non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.

I think and I reason, therefore, I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.

I am proud of my heritage, which makes me a xenophobe.

I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

I (and most of the folks I know), acquired a fair education without student loan debts and little or no debt, which makes me some kind of an odd underachiever.

I believe in the defence and protection of my country and I honour those who served in the Armed Forces, which now makes me a right wing-militant.

Please help me come to terms with the new me... because I'm just not sure who the hell I am any more!

Funny ... it's all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years; prior to which I had no confusion or delusions about myself.

As if all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with ... Now I'm not even sure which toilet to go into!

I’m confused too. Apparently the term “Master bedroom” is being abolished by estate agents because of its (tenuous) link to slavery.
What are Universities going to do about Masters degrees? Call them mistress degrees, equal person degree?

[ummmm]

I think you sound a tad paranoid.

[Mamyalynne]

Be confident in who you are and don't allow sound bites and media hype to confuse you.

Have strength.

[bednobs]

i'm sure you're not at all confused, but if you are, just ask the person who wrote it to explain it to you

[Prudie]

You are spot on and you've gained virtually all those new names from posters on AB.

[iluvmargie]

Ha! Well said TTT.

[ToraToraTora]

...ooo almost forgot, I'm an infidel too!

[Mamyalynne]

You simply cannot be an infidel - you sound far too delicate.

[Mozz71]

I shouldn't worry Tora, I disagree with most of what you say, that apparently makes me a Marxist, far left, anti-British snowflake.

It seems we all have our crosses to bear.

[sunny-dave]

I'm self-identifying as an SSc - Spinster of Science ....

[ladybirder]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry TTT.

[Ken4155]

You forgot to "Thank all my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, new found changes in my life and my thinking! I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly."

That's Tory government for you.

[hellywelly4]

You took the words right out of my mouth TTT. I don't normally post on 'controversial' sites because I know I will get shot down in flames for my views.

[Ken4155]

Not being pedantic or anything, Canary, (that's Pete's job) but this 'piece' has been around from as far back as 2005. And it originated across the pond.

[Zacs-Master]

Poor old Tora. I'm sure there's some therapy for people who feel as you do.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, it originated in USA and some sites have removed it 'for legal reasons' - original author usually credited however as.

Unknown.

[tiggerblue10]

I'm still trying to figure out why I get accused of being hormonal, frigid or uptight by men if I reject their flirtations.

[Mamyalynne]

The wrong men Tiggs :-(

[ummmm]

All sexist, Tiggs, the lot of them, except the ones that aren't but they don't count.
