Full disclosure: I was a racist, sexist, homophobic, nasty little shit as a teenager. Why? Beats me. Maybe cuz everyone around me was, & I guess I didn& #39;t know any other way?

By senior year I had broadened and realized how bad my former self had been, so thankfully I got better.

So it irks the shit out of me to see people playing purity tests on others because the latter didn& #39;t realize the error of their ways soon enough.

If someone comes over to the side of good, I& #39;m not going to scold them for the path they took; I& #39;m just gonna openly welcome them.

I& #39;m sorry that I didn& #39;t "do better" as a youth, but I can& #39;t change that.

I guess you can rub it in that you did better at an earlier age, if that makes you feel cool, but I& #39;m going to move on and welcome anyone looking to improve themselves at any time.
