Well, that's a lie. I like the green living, the people, the architecture. . . Getting a good look at Europe at its best just reminds me how crap Britain is.
I don't like the creepy, desperate, misogynistic atmosphere of the tourist-trap red light district, or the horrible attitude it brings out in people
Not that into drugs either |

I didn't mind the drugs, though one night was plenty. Prostitution is such a weird issue that I'm very ill-equipped to discuss, but I think while it is probably better this way and the women who take it and make a living from it are empowered, it only exists as a result of much bigger cultural issues. Also, none of my friends would do ay of this stuff illegally in the UK, but suddenly it was all go over there. In particular, a couple of the lads lost their virginity over there. There was lots of talk of them "becoming men", which I'm not a fan of. Even if you subscribe to all that masculinity stuff, surely it doesn't count if you pay? Anyway, I felt very out of touch, uncomfortable, weird and like I'm kinda losing touch with that friendship group. I really do need to leave the village... |

| I don't think I agree that prostitution wouldn't exist otherwise (it is the oldest profession): what you might find is more prostitutes of both genders servicing both genders in a more empowered manner.
Definitely don't like the whole 'becoming men' rubbish though, that's fairly revolting. I won't comment on 'all that masculinity stuff' because I'm supremely ill-equipped to.
As for the drugs, I will say that while I'm wavering on legalisation, primarily because my tower block already stinks of it, Amsterdam is much more weed-smelly than London. And I was not a fan. |

| 'Becoming men' is an extremely worrying way to phrase losing your virginity. Seems there's still an apparent cultural cachet attached to being a 'playa' or what have you and it's so rotten, unhealthy.
On a tangential note, I rarely feel particularly empowered doing my job. My empowerment comes through my friendships and relationships, I would say. |

| Found a dead baby sparrow outside my back door a while ago, s***'s f***ing depressing. The way its head flopped lifelessly as I scooped it up with the advert bundle, the eyes scrunched shut. A day that had all the hallmarks of a great day is now officially depressing as hell. |

| - WELL GRIM:
A few years ago, when I was sofa-surfing after my first flat, I went to look at a flat above an old, boarded-up pub. It was probably scabby, and the guy showing me around literally said they were only trying to find tenants so the homeless would stop squatting. It was pretty unpleasant, with no locks on the doors of the room he was expecting me to rent, and we went into the bathroom to find the window smashed and a dead bird in the sink. It was horrible, I never went up to the top floor.
A colleague of mine did, though. I guess she was more desperate for a new place than I was, because she went up to the kitchen, where a big, brown stain on the floor marked the outline of a dead dog that hadn't been moved for some time.
I don't know what it is, but animal death is always sadder to me than human. All the girl's cried more at the dog's grave when we were looking at the WWI memorials.

| Still I'll say this, I'll take finding a dead body or two over that time when I was fourteen. - I take your grimness and raise you by seven (genuinely grim warning):
Back when I lived in the city I lived in a nice little cul de sac atop a hill, and a family of magpies made it their permanent home. Hearing them having singing sessions in the middle of the night in the back garden or front tree was not uncommon, and you could frequently see them hanging around during the day.
They resided there all year round and were a permanent part of the place. Me and the fam (okay, just the mother, mine is a small family lol) and the neighbours even had favourites, and we knew the magpies so well we could see their family dynamics. We all even nicknamed their leader "wingtip" for this permanent feather that stuck up at an odd yet distinguished angle.
Fastforward to two or so years of living there. I'm heading down to the local shop five minutes walk away to grab some early morning groceries before catching the bus to school, when I hear some panicked terrified and very blatantly in pain cries. I round the corner to the shop and see a pack of foreign magpies ganging up on and ripping the young kid of the local family to actual pieces. It was a hoard of them and every time he tried to get away they chased and dragged him back down to continue savaging him.
Words cannot describe how haunting the cries of that young magpie were, to this day it's one of my worst memories in life. The fear, the pain, the bewilderment, all were clear in its cries. Eventually it managed to get away over the street past a block of houses, still pursued. The last time I ever saw it was when it was again being dragged down behind a house. Neither I nor anyone I know ever saw it again.
For the next month or so the magpie family was constantly calling out, their tenor had changed completely and it was clear they were wondering where their child had got off to. And I know damn well what happened to it. It had been mobbed and very likely brutally killed. And I didn't manage to do a single damn thing to help.
If that sounds like a remarkably vivid memory it's because it haunts me to this day. I'll take a deceased animal over that nightmare any day of the week. A decade later and I can still remember it, remember how I felt that exact moment, what I was doing, and I hate myself for not trying harder to intervene. I was scared to get in the middle of the group, but surely I could have bundled it up in my jacked and run for the shop which was only across the street. I should have done something, anything besides that half frozen jog while my mind seized up unable to get over the fear of diving in.
And that's enough of reliving that ever so lovely part of my life! Suffice to say as much as it breaks my heart to find a dead baby sparrow, well, at least it's dead. There are worse things that can happen than mere death. Much worse things. . . |

| Ugh why is all mainstream music SO BAD? Every time I go to the grovcery store I'm subjected to the so-called music.
I mean come on, why is the subject matter always "love" (aka lust), sing about something more interesting than lame one night stands and bad party choices pls. And why are the males so tuneless? Today they had on some stupid song with a bad male artist so lame I felt like going to the kitchen utensil isle, grabbing a knife, and jamming it in the ears*.
*Only a slight exaggeration.
I really need to get a pair of cans with a reasonable cable length. I genuinely wasn't even able to remember the stuff I needed to pick up because the music kept drawing my mind back to it and its terribleness. I don't ask for much, just music that doesn't make me yearn for this.
Moral of the story: it doesn't matter who you are, whether you be a normal person having a backyard party every friday evening or a shop, don't subject people to your dire taste in music. I wouldn't even with my high opinion of my music choices, all I ask is to not be subjected to ear and brain r*** every time I go shopping. |

| I think mainstream music is non-offensive to most people, so I think you're in the minority there Athrun, maybe it's a little generic, but it doesn't have unpleasant sounds, such as screaming at least. |

| What's even worse is being in a coffee shop for 3 hours for a writing group and being subjected to Best Of Costa.
I'd go for classical myself. I mean, of course I would - but it's meant to calm people down and be genuinely a good influence. Easy classical, not the manic swells of someone like Bax. |

If I went in to a shop and they were playing Death Metal or European Hard Trance, I'd be reacting like that. But something like Fifth Harmony or Olly Murs? Most folk can tolerate that, or even enjoy it! If it was Fetty Wap or some other trash rapper, I get where you're coming from regarding tuneless. |

| Can't stand club anthem pish, but most mainstream music is harmless, and sometimes actually decent. I depressingly found myself humming the Biebs' track "Sorry" all too often when that was on radio a while back, and I've been whistling Coldplay's latest effort too lately. |
