they still do at high school games in Germany. Admittedly it's usually the song of the town, or the song of the state (or state before it was merged, just to mess with the other states), and some of the songs sound very much, uh, march-in-formation-y.

Ours was Catholic, but they also liked money, like a lot - so it was full to the brim with Indians and South Asians. Let's just say the Vicar had no idea what to do, and the kids parents were clearly pushy enough for him not to be able to ask them sing any songs like "god has a white beard and a six pack" or "we are the chosen people" or anything blatantly western.

We did sing some nice neutralish songs that stay with me today:

When a knight won his spurs in the battles of old
He was gentle and brave he was gallant and bold
With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand
For God and for Valour he rode through the land

It's not "emotional sensitivity", it's "if I drive this through Croydon on my way to the Woldingham Estates, will someone throw a brick at me and my kids?" and given the sheer state of Croydon right now, the answer these days is more "yes" than "no"

easily the worst song on the album, despite the nice message

the phrasing is so weird in that report, "bridge collapsed... after it hit a cargo ship"

No it didn't. Bridges don't move like that. It was hit.

I fantasize often about writing a parkour stickman who climbs up my desktop windows and jumps between them

Maps aren't racist. Map owners are racist. Map creators are just filling demand.

(replace "maps" with "dogs" and "racist" with "at fault for dog eugenics")

I wonder how much caffeine doping goes on before races. It sure as hell gives me tons of energy

And those who watch the history channel have just sit there and take it as the motherfucking aliens go build the pyramids

And put it down. And then pick it up again.
