Stealth as much as I enjoy and find interest in many of your posts
and or musings
I find this one rather worrying and wonder if you will soon shave the
head get a swastika tattoo and wear doc Martins and listen to German
punk ?
The use of the phrase " The idiots are staying at home"
I find particularly offensive ----------- many of those idiots as you
refer to them, may be working several jobs studying for an aviation
vocation or career
and like many finding it a tad difficult to position themselves for
career and savings, within the current financial constraints
I wish not believe that you are such a twat as your words imply .
Dreadful attitude there and a certain amount of Ignorance or lack of
global situational awareness
re your remarks about China . are also of a concern..
But to look down from a self perceived if not delusional "on High" is
offensive and as prefaced earlier can not believe is the real you
Juts my 2 cents
