I'm so fucking tired of opening my mouth to defend the interest of a group just to find that same group watch at the floor and do and say nothing in the moment of truth...

The same shit happens to me since I was a small child at school and continues to happen to me constantly.

I'm so fucking sick of cowards, we as humans deserve the world we live in.

Yes, and "we disserve what we get' when we vote in idiots to the government who are just interested in coating their pockets.

Agreed. I've made some strong statements in defense of groups that I actually do not like...but I support their right to exist and believe/say/do what they wish as long as they aren't hurting anyone. That has gotten me some bad looks from people who claim to love liberty and who I thought were more like family. It shows you more clearly who truly tries to adhere to liberty, and who wants it based on their own viewpoint.

What happened with you, APX? Someone rubbed you the wrong way.

It is a difficult process to learn to get involved without expectations. I have also experienced the same. But I learned many years ago, that if and when I get up to fight. I will be fighting alone. It helps not getting disappointed at others I thought should have fought also. We all have different motives for getting involved. And we get involved with different levels of passion.

Not much, problems at work. The fuckers who work with me like to bitch around in the halls but at the moment when they really need to speak they do nothing. Life is a wack-a-mole  game and I'm always the one showing up my head.

Haha yeah I know exactly how that goes. You get all pumped up and march into the office and say "ME AND THESE MEN BEHIND ME THINK THAT..." then the boss says..."theres nobody behind you"... lol

LOL, yeah something like that. Lucky for me it was on a conference call, so at least they couldn't see my disappointment face  :faint:

Keep in mind that sometimes what you say or the fight you fight, you can always say, "I told you so."  :trolling: And then walk down the street whistling a happy tune that YOU WERE RIGHT!

When I was fired from West Marine for fighting the direction of the company, everything I pointed out that was wrong came true over a three year period. When the stock went from $18- a share to $3- and ¢hange I called up each one of those pricks who wouldn't support me and in my most passive aggressive manner, told them that I felt their pain.  :lmfao:
