To bear arms

Farrah told us something about the American Gun Culture.
People of America have the right to bear arms - this means they are allowed to buy weapons without a license.

The reason why they are allowed to buy weapons is the American history. When the Americans became independent, they had to struggle against the British government. So they need the weapons to fight against the British army.

Today, most people in America don't need the weapons because they feel save in the cities. Only people in the south of America, the Rednecks, bear arms and use them. These rednecks are uneducated, really fat, poor, are drinking bear and they smoke.

To my mind, people shouldn't be allowed to bear arms because it keeps more to damage than security.

Thanksgiving and Black Friday

Thanksgiving was first celebrated in 1621 when the pilgrims invited the Native Americans to celebrate the harvest.
Thanksgiving is celebrated every year on the 4th Thursday of November. It is tradition that the family stay together and eat many good food.

The day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. Black Friday is the official start of the Christmas shopping season. Most of shops open their store at 6 o'clock in the morning and grant really good discounts. Everyone wants to be the first in the shop.
It doesn't surprise me that there are so many accidents because veryone wants to get cheap presents.
