i'm so unmanly

war, ufc, fighting, etc... why do people choose to kill/harm others? how can people get joy from hurting/ seeing another person get hurt? i'll never understand how fighting became entertainment. i must be different from most guys, because when i see people get into a fight, not only am i not entertained, but i get a really bad feeling in my stomach, i feel sick.
i smoked a black and mild with this guy who just got back from iraq a week or two ago. i asked him many questions. i had never met someone who has actually killed someone in iraq before. he killed 2 people. he said they would run into houses and just shot everyone in it, looking for just a few people. he explained killing the people he shot like it was the most awesome thing he had ever done. he claimed he wish he shot more. i was so confused. i didn't understand why he was so excited about this. am i missing something? why is killing in war different than murder? i see no difference. it's just at a larger scale. america is the biggest cereal killer to walk the earth.
the next day this kid tried to commit suicide. i felt very upset. he was drunk when i was talking to him. he talked about this a little bit, but in a joking matter. he said he had to go back to iraq in a few months, and didn't want to go. i didn't know why he hated iraq so much, but loved killing them. maybe it all got to him. i felt bad because i asked him a lot of questions. maybe i brought up something he didn't want to talk. but listen to this... he jumped off a bridge, but his foot got stuck, and the cops found him. like wtf. i'm still weirded out from the situation. at least he's still alive.
i think it's time for me to move to iceland. they don't even have a military. i think that's the only way to go. why should any country have a military? no one should ever, ever feel the need to hurt or kill ANYONE, in my opinion.

  1. The only kind of violence I really find entertaining is in Tom and Jerry and Roadrunner cartoons. Maybe the occasional snowball/pillow fight, but that's not really fighting.

    I don't think you're missing anything. I think you just have a heart, Pete. Like I said: you're the nicest guy I know. :)

    I hear Icelandic is the hardest language to learn ever.

  2. I enjoy violence, I'm sorry. It probably has a lot to do with how early I was introduced to video games or just living in this american society where sex isnt allowed to be shown but someones head being ripped off by a bear trap is perfectly OK to be shown on basic cable.

    W/e the concept of masculinity has just turned into a joke now, where its so trivial but everyone desires men to still exude that quality. It's desired so much that we pay billions to men in sports and movies so our children can look up to the manly men.
