Triggerhappy Americans
Why is it that so many Americans seem to have wet dreams about war? Why the sick obsession with the death and destruction of thousands of people?
I could understand it if people said "We don't like it, but sometimes it's just necessary". However, more and more often I hear American people say stuff like "Nuke all the towelhead fuckers" (including women and children) or "Let's make sure not a single one is left alive".
In my opinion, that's just sick. War, death and destruction are not good things. In fact, they're some of the worst things that humanity has produced. Anyone who thinks war is a good thing is a real idiot. Sure, it may be necessary sometimes, but that does not make it a good thing.
Personally, I think watching all those Hollywood movies has caused many people to forget that war is real. The blood you see on CNN is not fake, it's from real people - dying. These are not actors, who stand up after the shot and go and cash their checks for the movie, these are humans, made out of flesh and blood. They could be your friends, family or neighbours.
