I don't remember doing that at age 15 or 16.

Although, I was brought up Mormon, and when I TRAVELED TO Asia when I was 16 going on 17 (had my 17th birthday on that trip). I had my first beer while at the Hong Kong airport. That's about as rebellious as I got as a teen.

Of course: ten feet tall and bulletproof!
Once with my cousin(we got into lots of things, the two of us), we got hold of some beer, fell in with an older crowd, went skinny dipping out in the boonies. The only problem is, I can’t swim. Lucky for me, I jumped into shallows and my stupid 15-year-old self survived.

The meme is true of me starting at about age 21. My Army buddy and I used to hang out at a bar frequented by gangsters. The bar was called Grapevine.

The Age of Infinite Wisdom and Invulnerability, some of us survive those years and some don't.

Yep how I made it this far is beyond me, I went from messing around on 300ft sheer cliffs as a kid, to joining the army spending time in Northern Ireland and Iraq, to working with chemical weapons (and suffering from exposure to a few, not nerve agent luckily) and spending time in Libya and Syria. Now I have the more relaxed job of a Ceasefire Monitor (I just wish people would realise that there is supposed to be a ceasefire) 😀

I understand why you are an atheist now! After surviving all these religious hellholes and seeing first hand the strife religious difference has caused it’s no wonder. I salute your bravery!

@Marionville hmmm I never experienced any of those countries in the way you described, Damascus especially is quite a secular city and the people very progressive. There are of course small extremist minorities everywhere, including in the US! I have always been an atheist, I didn't become one later in life!

@Marionville after seeing where you come from I get what you are saying but I still stand by what I said!

Have absolutely no idea how I have made it to 49 death has knocked at my door many times.
