Stranger: yeah you’re really good at it!
You: now im in the 3rd year of university
You: haha
Stranger: like, i can’t even speak any other languages at all!
You: well, english is a universal language, right?
Stranger: haha i guess so!
Stranger: but i mean, everyone else is educated about other languages, everyone but american kids
Stranger: like we’re just a bunch of fat people over here
You: in my country, theres a lesson of english since we’re in elementary, and theres a day, usually monday, we have to speak english to each other

You: whoa
You: u think bout that, at ur age, thats amazing!
You: really
Stranger: haha i think that you would be suprised how many kids my age think this way

Stranger: no one likes that we’re at war
Stranger: it’s wasting money that we could use to educate ourselves
You: thats right
You: instead of rising intelligence, they’re killing people
You: i mean another americans
Stranger: yeah

Stranger: it’s just ridiculous
Stranger: the rest of the world hates us too

You: its your independence day, right
You: no no, its interesting, really
You: haha
Stranger: haha well im glad to hear that

You: you knew all that from newspaper, parents, tv shows, or where?
Stranger: mostly from talking with my friends about it
Stranger: reading books
Stranger: and just common knowledge that it’s stupid to kill other people for no reason
Stranger: using money that we could use for other things
