Global warming is a fact. But we don’t need to take many steps out from our front door to know this, to see it for our selves. Göteborg warming is a fact. Heat sux, it’s a nuisance, it’s crap. Heat really sux. It’s the worst thing since just a little bit colder than heat. There is a reason why Satan has the heat turned up to fire down there in hell; that’s right; heat is asshole.
Another thing that is crap is the trams here in Göteborg. Sure they take you around town at an affordable price and they are almost always on time but honestly; heat! The trams here, in comparison to the sub way in New York, do not have air conditioners. You might say “oh poor you having to ride in a tram without air conditioner” and the I say “yes, poor me”. It’s always to warm in those crap wagons. In the winter they have the heat turned up to 30 degrees (if you’re unlucky you will get the seat that is nearest to the radiator and get burnt half to death). “Well take of your coat then” I hear you say. Well, I would if the effort didn’t mean braking into a flood sweat and the sweating some more just thinking about putting it on again (remember the tram asshole is full, your standing next to a fat lady who smells). “Take your coat of before you enter the tram, and out your coat on after you’ve gotten off” I hear you say (you really ought to stop talking). Ok, it’s -15 degrees outside. Do you want me to freeze to death? (You don’t have to answer that.)
I know Göteborgare think that the tram is part of the city. The sceanery wouldn’t be the same with out it, It wouldn’t sound the same. So? It will solve my heat problem. Dig some tunnels and put it all underground, and don’t hesitate to throw in some air conditioners while your at it.
Another thing:
Now I don’t mind Amnesty International. I think they do amazing work. I admire them for being so dedicated for such a worthy cause. They, in Sweden at least, recruit members by having representatives out on the streets talking to people about joining or making a donation. Fair enough. Camila and I were walking on those streets when such a representative came up to us. We didn’t have time to stop. Sometimes you don’t, no matter how worthy the cause. What I’m getting at is this: Is it really appropriate to try to stop us so that they can talk to us by asking the question: Do you want to stop torture? What is the correct answer when you don’t have the time to stop and elaborate? Let’s see:
Do you want to stop torture?
- No.
- Yes, but not now.
- Yes (and keep on walking).
- Maybe.
Amnesty International really ought to cange there aproach when trying to recruit and heat, heat sux.
