Watching the Police Academy film, nr 1 and even though it's very amusing, I have a hard time to figure out why the people rioted in the end. Maybe I'm just naive and completely formed by the society I live in, but I have a hard time understanding the need for rioting or to destroy property just for kicks. Of course we have riots here as well, mostly political demonstrations that gets out of hands, most infamously the 2001 Gothemburg Riots. There is recently some social unrest riots in different parts of Sweden, but some of them is instigated by political minority groups of bored rich kids who doesn't have anything else to do. Yes, I despise those people as much as those they are fighting against.
Of course it's not only in these situations I have a hard time to understand why people goes that far. During the beginning of the financial crisis there was some French labor unions that locked in the small CEO:s of the local factories and demanded the HQ to not stop production. I might not be the sharpest economies in the world, but I don't think that's how it works. And don't get me started on the "French farmers" phenomena lately when the farmers demonstrates with blocking roads and dumping all there goods in the street. Me and my friends have a huge dislike for this behavior. We DON'T get it! Once when we discussed global warming and mentioned that Sweden would be very favorable as the farming and forest growth would rise compared to everything southern of Sweden as that would whiter and die in the heat one of my friend uttered that "we then at least got rid of the French farmers" (I humbly apologize to any French farmer reading this, but then we would at least not need to spend money on the subsidiaries on farming).
Also it's the spookiest time of the year which we imported from the Catholics first and then on top of that an American custom that they imported from the Irish Celts. Back home we used to watch the Bugs Bunny special on VHS. Or some thriller/horror movie just to get in the mood (and then a couple of years my sister had a Halloween party for her classmates). But the best Halloween themed film/series/episode to see is the Charlie Brown episode. The idea of the Great pumpkin and lines like "I got a rock" are forever memorable. Unfortunately there is not much to see on the TV at the moment with only one channel sending a horror movie (which I believe was reviewed somewhere and mocked rather hard), and getting to classics after midnight with movies like Omen (I hope it's that one and not the other)but I'm not a fan of being up that late. Otherwise it's just comedies. Which means that I have to get my kicks on my own by taking a trip to the dark side.
