I'm Sitting Here In My European History Honors Class
There are nine people missing out of our class because of some stupid test people are taking. So we're watching
The Nutty Professor. Bleah. I hate that movie. It's stupid, it's mean and I think I'd much rather be watching something like
Saving Private Ryan. Heads and arms blowing off; blood flying everywhere. You know, real stuff. Not cruel for no reason. War vs. Everyday meanness. Hmm. I'm not saying that war isn't cruel. But everyday cruelty and war cruelty are a bit different. I think. Hm.
Is everyday cruelty that much different from wartime cruelty? I don't know. Maybe war just gives us more of an outlet for it. So people go crazy. And everyday cruelty is refined, toned down sometimes.
Maybe I prefer wartime cruelty because it isn't fake. You know who your enemies are, as opposed to real life. I guess, I don't really know.
