http://www.meggomyeggo.com/inabox/2006/06/28/kid-with-gun-on-train/ I write here when I feel like writing and sharing something. There is not much of a theme happening, it is mostly mundane, but there might be something to enjoy. If you don't mind excessive dot-dot-dotting, please read away.

But even so, like you said, some of those fake guns look very real and can also be used to scare / control people. The whole wanting to scare / control people is really scary.

How was it that some kids from the states were running around japan all by themselves? I'm sure they weren't real guns, but seriously have you seen the fake guns you can buy in this country?? Unreal. I'm suprised there aren't more hold ups in this country. I honestly would shit my pants if someone pointed an AK-47 in my face, and really you don't take the time to think 'hey, I bet this is fake.' I'm going back home for a couple of weeks from now, and can't wait to re-immerse myself in white trash land. Wow. that’s quite surreal.

I wonder if we are sensitive to it as well because we are from neighboring countries. I find that when I am in a foreign country I feel a stronger drive to distinguish myself as a Canadian. Is it because I am proud of being a Canadian or is it because I don't want people to think I am American? I really don't know. I guess you see that all over the world...people from neighboring countries with quiet competition between each other. It is funny but sometimes unfortunate. I am babbling.

Embarassed that I am the same species as them. Here in europe we see it all the time... american tourists being... well, american tourists. I'm sorry if you have american readers who might be offended, but generalizations are the best way to... yes, generalize. And in general, americans are obnoxious, ignorant, and immature.
