1/ I suppose I have been a selfish son of a bitch most of my life, and got leeway as a kid as my parents died when I was 12. I don't think I was playing on it, but undoubtably it shaped my life/views.
2/ I don't believe city folk have a clue about the rest of the country, and vice versa. Multi-cultural issues relates to the bigger pops in the main and that is where policy is made. I 'think' I was 14 before I met a person that was not white or asian (and that was maybe 3 Asians total multiple times).
3/ I live in the past in terms of 'everything was better then', I think every generation does.
4/ I think 'sectarianism' has changed over the last 40 years and that gives me cross purpose with younger folk. I did know boys that had the 'foot' question in interviews, yet now asshole Celtic fans take the hump if they are called the 'F' word. That wasn't a 'bad' word until recently, same as 'dictator' wasn't. Changing times.
5/ I hope another 'Spanish Flu' event happens soon. The Worlds pop is out of control, and, fiscally, it is vital.
