"Modern slaves are not in chains. They are in debt". (mentormedia,inc)
"No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all".
"If a man expects a woman to be an angel in his life, he must first create heaven for her. Angels don't live in h**l".
"I don't trust anyone who is nice to me and rude to the waiter. Because they would treat me the same way if I were in that position". (Muhammad Ali)
"In life, it's important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong". (www.YourPositiveOasis,com)
"Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
"Don't trust everything you see. Even salt looks like sugar".
"A ship is always safe at shore but that's not what it was built for". (Albert Einstein)
"I fear the day technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots". (Albert Einstein)
"We the people are the rightful masters of both congress nd the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who would pervert the Constitution". (Abraham Lincoln)

I wonder why he doesn't feel entitled to his fair share

of your earnings? He needs a woke white liberal to tell him how oppressed he is, like he was in his radical Marxist youth.

Some gems there, Joe! You are not only a mentor to us, you are a inspiration to us all!
I have to also comment that the last one is a favorite for me. The Air Force Core Values are: Integrity first, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All You Do. It wasn’t always easy, but integrity was always first and foremost for me during my career.
God Bless Joe - and a very Happy and Healthy New Year to you and yours my friend.

Dated a girl once who was rude to a waitress over something

That wasn’t the waitress’s fault. I decided not to date her after that for the exact reason Ali mentions.

I apologize that this has happened because of my generation. I have always appreciated the sacrifice you and your generation made to secure freedom for not only us but the world. Yet, there certainly was more that I could have done to help preserve those freedoms.
Bless you and may the New Year bring joy and peace!
