So was tiefgründiges hab ich gar nicht erwartet.....
Tl;dr:
Stranger: in summary, every government is corrupt, the world sucks, and people are ignorant.
You: amen

Stranger: hello
You: hey

You: it sucks actualy
Stranger: sorry
You: not you fault
Stranger: anything i can help with
Stranger: i mean through this random conversation
You: hmmm
You: depends on how experianced in life you are
Stranger: id say im pretty mature
Stranger: im young but i understand whats going on
You: well im 18 and visiting college but i dont want to waste my life working for money to buy things that i dont need and fuel a system i hate
Stranger: thank you
Stranger: i feel the same way
Stranger: im 17
You: youre from the states i guess
Stranger: yep

You: if youre attending a community college life is over
You: ....
Stranger: im still in high school
You: i see
Stranger: im ready to be out
You: want to study
Stranger: really i just want to leave where i am
Stranger: i live in a very conservative, right wing town and im more of a leftist
You: i feel your pain bro
Stranger: everyone around me are ignorant jesus lovers
Stranger: i have no problem with jesus just hipocracy
You: its easier to follow then to think for yourself
Stranger: for sure
Stranger: everyone around me is the same
You: you see if these people would explore the world around them and start noticing whats going on in international politics etc. the government would have a problem
You: but as long as everyone just goes to church,baseball games,footbal,wrestling,plays videogames
You: and doesnt bother changing things or protesting
You: everything runs smoothly for those wgo are in power
You: *who
Stranger: you are my german counterpart
Stranger: i dont plan on living in america when i get older
Stranger: i really liked italy when i visited
Stranger: the people are nicer
You: the peopple are nice yeah
You: but the whole goddamn country is run by the lobby and the mafia
You: wich is the same actualy
Stranger: everywhere is like that as far as i know
You: your right
Stranger: might as well go to a place where people are friendly
You: in the U.S even more
Stranger: i hate america
Stranger: we are so dumb
Stranger: nobody asks questions
Stranger: and the people that do are called insane
You: or dokrs who dont fit into society
Stranger: true
Stranger: bloggers
Stranger: i might try spain out
Stranger: i think i might go there in the next couple years
You: as an exchange student or do you plan on just leaving the US forever
Stranger: both
Stranger: i might do foreign exchange next summer but i want to leave for another country after i graduate college
You: you know im in my secod semester right now but i feel like im wasting the best time of my life
You: and i did so much in the last half year
You: i actualy mobilizedother students and changed things at our university
You: i went to copenhagen at the world climtae congress
Stranger: that is amazing
You: still
You: i achieved nothing just like the other 2000000
You: who went there
Stranger: true
Stranger: i wish it were different
Stranger: i bet it was still cool to be around that many people who thought like you
You: at first
You: yeah
You: it was totaly awesome
Stranger: what were the activities
Stranger: i really dont even no what happens there
Stranger: know
You: but while the demonstration i realized that LOTS of these people wherent here to fight for a specific cause, but to antagonize or make party or whatever
Stranger: that sucks
You: yeah
You: if all this was happening 100 years ago
You: the youth wouldnt be so apathic
You: they would rise against this bullshit that is gong on everywhere
You: but with all the entertainment
You: and news
You: and other distractions
Stranger: fuck the media
Stranger: i absolutly hate the news
Stranger: its always so depressing
You: media are important but its even MORE important to know how to understand them
You: you cat just get you information from Fox news and trust it
Stranger: they would rather talk about kidnapping than real issues that effect the whole nation
Stranger: fox news is a joke
Stranger: i watch it sometimes to get a good laugh
Stranger: more like a sad laugh for what my country believes
Stranger: some people live by that shit
You: whenever i browse the net and read the global news all i can do is bang my fucking head against my keyboared in anger about how stupid people are
Stranger: its rediculous
Stranger: this is a little off topic but not really
You: whats even more ridiculous is, that most people dont EVEn FUCKING caRE
Stranger: yeah
Stranger: do you have universal healthcare?
You: i have
You: and i know once somone says universal heallthcare in the US he is a communist
You: what a joke
Stranger: i just watched the documentary Sicko by Michael Moore
Stranger: it made me so pissed
Stranger: do you have any problems with healthcare over there
You: the only problem is that its getting hard for the government to pay for it
You: due to the financial crysis
You: and everyone has to pay from his own pocket more and more
Stranger: so its not completely covered?
You: most is covered
You: you still have to pay like 5 bucks for some pills
You: but they would normaly cost 50
Stranger: lets just say you have a cough
Stranger: you go to the doctor
Stranger: he prescribes drugs
Stranger: how much do you pay in total for drugs and doctor visit if the drugs are not insanely expensive
You: 10 euro is the maximum
Stranger: we pay about 15 euro just for the visit if you have good insurance
Stranger: are the taxes unbearable
You: i dont pay them so i dont actualy can talk about it
You: but they are quite high if you are realy rich
You: about 15 % of you income i guess
Stranger: thats about the same here
Stranger: i think the rich deserve high taxes
Stranger: maybe im wrong about the taxes
Stranger: we're in a low tax bracket
You: as long as the taxes are spent in the right way
Stranger: true true
You: NOT to refinance the gamblers at Wall-street
You: there should be a rule, that 50% of the taxes should go into education and infrastructure
You: anything else is bullshit
Stranger: i almost want to go into politics to try to make this happen
Stranger: but i dont do good enough in school to become known
You: belive me once you go into politics you either give in to the lobby or you hang yourself
Stranger: nobody will listen to someone who graduates from a state college
Stranger: i think i could be different
Stranger: i tend to hold to my beliefs
You: i bet you would but the problem is the ones that hold to their beliefs wont see any money from anyone , wich makes him an outcast among the other politicians who are all bought and will gladly fall into you back any time the can
Stranger: it would be tough
Stranger: but i wouldnt even try
Stranger: most of the people in this country dont deserve someone to treat them right
You: thats pretty harsh
Stranger: its the truth
You: they are just mislead and just need somone to show them that they live in an illusan that wont go on for long
You: its kinda like in the matrix films
You: the illusion is so perfect
You: that no one questions it
Stranger: the thing is that they wont change
You: it would need some sirius cut in their lives
Stranger: the people that will become educated will but they will be outnumbered
Stranger: the thing about the matrix is that the illusion worked
Stranger: most people understand that the world is messed up but dont care
Stranger: there is just too much selfishness
You: if somone could somhow relate the global problems into a local context so they would actualy affect the people vene if they are not related to the issue they would HAVE to change
You: but i still cant think of any way to achieve this
Stranger: i dont think it can
Stranger: especially here
Stranger: in my unprofessional opinion our government is outdated
Stranger: it was made when we were only 13 colonies
Stranger: now we're huge
Stranger: a democracy doesnt work efficiently with this many people
Stranger: i know we arent pure democracy but it is what our government is based on
You: the american democracy is the biggest abomination of that form in the whole world actualy
Stranger: yes
You: every state has his own puzzling laws on how to vote
You: and candidates have to be financed with millions of dollars to even have a chance to win in a single state
You: wich makes it easy for the lobby
Stranger: the biggest problem is nothing gets done
Stranger: republicans vote against democrats for the sake of it
Stranger: like its a game
Stranger: they act like they're 12
You: i watched debates in the parlament
You: its a fucking farce
Stranger: nobody wants to make efficient compromises
Stranger: its all or nothing and there are very few ideas that all politicians support
You: and you have to make stuoid compromises and bribe half the parliament to get something done
Stranger: in summary, every government is corrupt, the world sucks, and people are ignorant.
You: amen
Stranger: ftw
Stranger: out of curiosity, im watching the olympics right now, whats the coverage like in germany
You: people are quite enthusiastic
You: germany has the most gold medals i guess
Stranger: bitch, america has more medals overall
You: its the gold that counts
You: but we got our asses handed to us by the chinese in curling
You: but i wonder why curling is even olympic
You: not like its that hard
Stranger: i dont know
Stranger: it looks like it takes some serious skill
Stranger: my personal favorite sport is figure skating
Stranger: everyone says im a fag but i dont care
Stranger: its awesome
You: i like it too atleast you have some eyecathcer
You: s
Stranger: yeah
Stranger: i really dont understand how they can do that on ice
Stranger: all of the trick based competitions blow my mind
You: yeah it takes some skill and balls to perform what people achieve there
You: and doping doesnt help so much
You: wich makes it more fair
Stranger: the ski jumping shit is fucked
Stranger: they are so high in the air
Stranger: thats what im watching now
Stranger: how do their legs not break
You: ^^
You: well our neighbours the austrians are the best at this i guess
You: they call themselves the eagles
Stranger: germans just took control
Stranger: says commentator
You: i would turn on my tv but its 2:30 am in the morning here
You: and i probably would wake everybody up
Stranger: its only 8 here
Stranger: the austrians just jumped
You: and?
Stranger: i think they beat germany
Stranger: but its first round
You: will be tough competition then
Stranger: yeah
Stranger: i dont think america is even a threat
Stranger: whatever we just kicked canadas ass at hockey
You: i know
You: the canadians bet at their favourite sport by their rivals
You: must be tough for them
Stranger: i cant even imagen it
Stranger: the russia and czech republic game yesterday was pretty good too
Stranger: hockey overall is a great sport
Stranger: there are no teams around me to support though
You: im not that much into team sports
You: i like martial arts though
Stranger: thats cool
Stranger: im big into american football and, well, futbol
You: everyone here is obsessed with soccer
Stranger: i dont blame them
Stranger: we dont have anything to cheer for over here
Stranger: everyone thinks its for gays and pansies
You: soccer for gays?
You: the fuck
Stranger: yep
You: football is tackling and hugging
You: but soccer is gay
You: yeah....
Stranger: american football players constantly make fun of soccer players
Stranger: it sucks
Stranger: i like football too but soccer is so much more complicated and skilled
You: i like to play soccer with friends for fun but the leagues are way too corrupted and its all about the money so i dont realy watch the bundesliga
Stranger: yeah
Stranger: this is really off topic but im running out of time and im curious
Stranger: do you listen to any american music

You: mostly rock and metal at he moment
You: but also jazz blues soul and electro
