When I grow up, I want to be a herald of the Apocalypse

[ithika]

Today was interesting, and I found out that there are only a few exams that will kill me if I fail them, which is good.
But the main thing is, I'm getting a B in maths! A B! As in, better than C! Which is really quite extraordinary.

Also, the Cold War was stupid, petty, stupid, petty and stupid.

Also, on contemplation from yesterday, when I watched the Patriot, I think it's possible that alot of American people that are arrogant about being American are so because of the war of Independance. Which is stupid, because all of the people (men) who fought that war are long dead. So being arrogant about it is none of their business really, I mean, yeah. They had no part whatsoever in it, so they shouldn't be all... nyeah.
Also, I find it vastly amusing that such an "American pride" movie starred two Australian actors. Heath Ledger is actually an Australian citizen, and I think Mel Gibson is now, too. Ahah.

But that, is all random drivel, thankyou goodnight

I didn't mean that. I don't mean not to be proud of them, because I'm proud of Australian soldiers, like you said.
What I meant was, being arrogant about people that... oh, it's basically a vague idea of "those soldiers didn't die so you could be arrogant about stuff"
it's incredibly vague now, I wish I understood myself

They actually did die partially for arrogance. They wanted freedom, they wanted to be a separate state, where they could pursue their American ideals (like carrying guns everywhere, like schools...)
