That's probably where Bronson learned it. He served in WW2 as a tail gunner, and flew 21 combat missions

I have to do a report in English about how heroin is a destructive and addictive drug and how it effects our society.

Is heroin even a common addiction nowadays?

My school taught about the holocaust about one quarter of every school year in english, like the english teachers all felt a duty to teach history, one year we didnt even read a book about the holocaust (i could understand when we read, for example, NIGHT, but not when we just watched documentaries and didnt even write reports. And in health class they had us watch bowling for columbine, were supposed to learn about nutrition, exercise, condoms, etc, not friggin propaganda films.

They haven't shown us any propoganda like that, nor have we dedicated a quarter of a year to the Holocaust. My English teacher is, however, obsessed with Shakespeare and poetry :mad:

k9870 03-02-2011 09:09 PM

The thing is each year they taught holocaust, then only junior year of history did, so it made no sense, english is not for history lessons unless its relevant to the book being read, and even then just enough for a quick background, I dont need a full quarter on concentration camps.

I got to say the 2 worst books I read were:

There Eyes Were Watching God: Horribly written the style was impossible to follow.

1984: Yep, the old classic everybody claims to love.....with a main character I could care less about and a backstory way too implausible.....at least equillibrium was cool.

Equilibrium isn't based on 1984. It borrows elements from it along with elements from Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World.

k9870 03-02-2011 09:18 PM

I know it just has elememnts, I just think its a much better story. 1984 I just didnt like the characters, writing, etc.

I have to read 1984. I almost got to read The Heart of Darkness, but the school thought it would be awesome to put me with an English teacher I don't particularly like

Swordfish941 03-02-2011 09:29 PM

I serious want to read William S. Burroughs' Junky. I got Naked Lunch for Christmas, but I'm waiting to finish The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest before I move on to that.

k9870 03-02-2011 09:31 PM

I think stephen hunter is the man, writes about shooting and actually knows what hes talking about, and Bob Lee Swagger is the man, he also has real people using a fake name, but changes the name so slightly its funny, In I Sniper a sniper shoots "Hanoi Jane Flanders":eek:

S&Wshooter 03-02-2011 11:25 PM

I sent k9870 a message over Xbox live, but he ain't answering. What the hell, man?

Swordfish941 03-03-2011 01:36 AM

The only time when anarchy is good is when it's to bring down a fascist dictatorship (like in V For Vendetta).

Well, that sucks.

k9870 03-03-2011 06:55 PM

Yeah, saw it coming though, some episodes are good and some were just too damn slow, also, many original fans didn't like the new formula, theres no main bad guy/nemesis, etc. I though as a whole It was a ok show but it didnt catch on enough.

S&Wshooter 03-03-2011 07:39 PM

Anyone else sort of mad that no new (good) movies or video games are coming out any time soon?

k9870 03-03-2011 07:59 PM

Battle Los Angeles next week, we have homeront and crysis 2 this week.

Swordfish941 03-03-2011 08:04 PM
