An older friend of mine once passed the following advice onto me: "If you want to make friends, never talk about religion or politics."

That's pretty sound advice.

But once again I'm going to violate it.

Well, kinda.

The other day I saw an advert for joining the army. It was BLATENT propaganda! It's this African lady saying how much the army helped her by digging a well. You want to do that, go join the Peace corps!! Why not interview a few Iraqis or Afghans? I'm not saying the army don't do good things too, but come on, are you telling me the army is a front for some sort of a missionary organisation? Is that what the guns are for? Hunting for food, is it? And are Africans now so poor they don't even have shovels to dig their own wells. All seems a bit dubious to me.

Like my friend was crying because her friend was joining the army. "Chill out," I say. "What's the worst that can happen.....oh yeah, err sorry."

Lol.

Sorry!

Peace!

P.S. IF you don't like what I've said, not just here, but anywhere, please don't hold it against me, just tell me about it and I may well change my mind and say sorry. I never mean to offend.
