Wed Jul 29, 2015, 09:14 PMBoxerfan (980 posts) My Dad was a "Great White Hunter"...And as his son I've come to hate him with every fiber of my being. I mostly grew up with my mother- an artist type with the inherent eccentricities. My dad was a redkneck from Texas made rich by his fathers Ice Cream franchise & real estate. Of course when I was young I guess I idolized him. After he died in England-as a guest for a fox hunt- I was informed the my 2 siblings & I had been written out of his will. Our stepmother to this day lives on his trust and has almost depleted it while managing to keep her house & assets separate. Rich folk get to be such asses & legal at that. Back to my dad. When he was alive he traveled to Africa in 1961. My uncle shot an elephant & I have super 8 film of the natives trying to hack it apart with an axe. My dad had lots of "trophies" and pictures of him with dead animals in pose. He had 2 water buffalo heads-one he used as a hat rack & many other displays of his "manhood". After I stopped drinking myself to death about 20 years ago I had a lot of "developments" emotionally. One of the realizations was about my father. I realized I was not at fault for his behavior. He was an ASS. A capitol bully with money & of course Republican. ---------------------- And after I was sober a year I remembered something that happened when I was about 5-6. We had a beautiful house 14 1/2 acres in Portola Valley Ca. 2 Dogs were in our family-Ruffie & Harry. Ruffie was getting older & my dad deemed him too sick to have around. despite being very wealthy he never considered seeking a veterinarian to assist or help. he drove Ruffie of 35 miles away & dumped him. I must say that for my Dad he must have chickened out. I expected he had shot him. Because the day before Christmas-our driveway covered with a slim layer fost from the cold-Ruffie came walking up & I ran out to him to greet him. I don't remember the exact details but I was dragged off & my Dad shot Ruffie. I'll see you in heaven dear friend. ------------------- Somehow after that I still loved & respected my father. Kids are amazing that way. And even after drunken tirades where he took a riding whip-almost a bullwhip-and snapped at us for punishment-getting close enough to sting but not leave a scar. We still loved our father. Then of course like I said-he threw us away heritage wise. Dis-owned by the "rich" side of the family was probably a blessing in disguise I now realize. ------------------- I know these people-I was raised by them. They have no love for anything but profit & animals are a resource to be used as they damned well please-don't you poor beggars get it-They are "better than you". Like hell they are. Thank you for releasing me from your dystopia. I'm just glad I survived and lifted the emotional veil. I am a good father & a caretaker to animals. Enough said.
That was pitiful.
The primitive doesn't hate his father because his father hunted big game.The primitive hates the old man because the primitive was cut out of the will.That's all there is to it, really.
Of course when I was young I guess I idolized him. After he died in England-as a guest for a fox hunt
Whatever the outrage of the day, some DUmmies can't resist spinning bouncy tales that put themselves in the center of the story.Today one of the DUmp outrages is some rich guy going to Africa and killing a lion.One of the very few reasons a normal person can justify travelling to Africa is to kill a lion, but the DUmp is pissed:http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027024863Cool story, bro.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
I can't get to Africa today, SO, I guess I'll just have to shoot the neighbors cat and get it's head mounted.
Jeez, DUmmy. At least if you are going to post such a BS story, please be more concise. I have an attention span, but prefer not to read such a long diatribe.
That was my thought too. It was painful to read and not for the right reason.
A BEG sighting, it's been awhile.
