I arrived at excel centre today at 3pm. There were EIGHT protesters and 50 police. Down the road were a samba band surrounded by copscum. WTF! I thought it was pathectic 2 years ago when only a few hundred turned up. People care more about a bunch of twats playing cricket than the future of this planet. I despair. Come on people-get down there tomorrow!

Come on, surely you KNOW the history of organised team sports. Once we were surfs, training in combat several times a week, so that if the Lord of our land required, or was required by his King, we would become instant soldiers to fight the battles of our Lord, or his King.

This method basically broke apart with the increasing growth of an urban population. Besides, modern organised armies could recruit and train their own forces, and having the normal population well trained in combat became a scary idea for those in charge (REMEMBER- today Tony Blair will send you to prison for having a realistic looking WATER PISTOL).

Anyhoo, if combat skills were NOT required of the population, MINDLESS JINGOISM most certainly was. Bit of a problem, though, when modern times meant that the actual enemy could not be predictated in advance. No point training your people from birth to HATE the French and LOVE the Dutch, if come the time of war, the French are our allies, and the Dutch are our enemies.

Luckily, the people themselves helped invent the solution- TEAM SPORTS. Team sports template a generic jingoism. People of low intellect (ie most of the male population) work themselves into a blind hysteria over events that actually metaphor the most idiotic and unreasonable aspects of warfare. They are, of course, simply being kept in a state of readiness for the real thing.

It should come as NO SURPRISE that the biggest story about Afghanistan in the States was not about the hundreds of thousands butchered by Blair and Bush, but about the fate of ONE American Football Player who joined up after 911 to murder Muslims (his stated goal). Amusingly, this sick moron was blown away by his own people (a fact that emerged after the world press told an endless series of lies about the guys heroic end fighting bravely to exterminate dark-skinned humans).

What's wrong with supporting your national team?

Knobs

Honest.. didn't you see them?

People of low intellect (ie most of the male population)
