I would have made this post earlier but as often, the food they serve here finds itself disagreeing with my stomach. But about 25min ago, on my way to the forge, where i am now, i saw something that left me not so much awe struck as opposed to dumbstruck and shitting myself.

Its home coming today or something like it and that means the whole university puts on a parade. I didnt know, fuckers dont tell me shit here, so i nearly get run over as cars try and drive on sidewalks to avoid the parade and then i saw it. Of everything that came through from the football team through to whatever other retarded sport team no one really cheered, they just claped a few times, shuffled their feet looked a little awkward and then avert their eyes to the next float to which the process would begin anew. But this one was different, the streets went wild and little kids were being held up by their parents and students where roaring with vigor. And then it came into view, about 16 marines and a fucking Humvee with a fucking armed TOW missile on it. Armed i know because they'd made effort to show it was armed. And so i stood there with my bike thinking, jesus fucking christ motherfucking fuckfuck horseshit.

What sort of fucked up country breeds people to cheer as a bunch of rednecks march through a residental area with m16's and a fucking TOW missile. I'd only ever seen this in movies, and that was when they did march marines into universities, and Humvees with rockets, except the people werent cheering they were screaming while they're legs got shot out form underneath them. I had thought that all the media attention and stereotyping that americans loved their guns to the point where the payout "well why dont you marry your gun" could actully stick was just hype and a lot of pissed of hippies. But really they love their guns, they really do, they're going to kill us all because they all have a fucking hardon for guns.
