Therefore, there is nothing perverse about my comparing our institutions to Auschwitz.
Of course there is, and if you're too dumb to see that, I can't do anything for you. People in Auschwitz weren't worried about abuses or inappropriate behavior or bullying or even beatings. They just got to watch everyone around them starve to death, before they were executed like dogs and left to rot in big piles in shallow trenches. Doesn't sound much like what you went through.

The only thing I want to here from an ex-jock monkey-boy's mouth is . . . . .
"Will that be paper or plastic?"
Then after that, he can just shut the **** up!!!
Ya got that? Jimbo Bubbah Booey???
I don't know who 'Jimbo Bubbah Booey' is, or who you think is bagging groceries. Neither of these terms relates to me or my life in the slightest, so I assure you that your attempts at insult fall flat. As I have made perfectly clear, I was not a 'jock' and had plenty of my own run-ins with people who picked on me. You are inventing a fantasy to argue against.
I suppose that - as I sit down to watch tonight's football game - I can rest easy in the knowledge that, surrounded by a loving family, a beautiful wife, having a great job and a nice dog and a nice future in front of me, I'm happy - whereas others are so consumed by their hate and inability to let issues go. At the end of the day, nothing that you can say has any real effect on that at all.
Can you say the same? I highly doubt it. You sound like a very bitter person who has a lot of pent-up anger and is looking to vent. If this conversation has helped you to feel better about yourself and your situation, I'm happy for you. Otherwise, I must say that it has become rather boring, and if you don't have anything more interesting to contribute, I have nothing more to say, other than that those who cannot understand the beauty of sporting activity in any way are missing out on one of the true wonders of the human existence, and I feel sorry for you.
