Mna nawe sagqibela ukuhlangana phakathi kwiminyaka yoo-1980 kwiiklabhu yasebusuku ebizwa ngokuba yiKamikaze, apho ndandisebenza khona. UJohn F.

Inye enye into esidibana ngayo; sobabini saya kwisikolo sabanqolobi. Ufunde phi kwisikolo se-sniper?
E-West Virginia ngenqaku. Ngo-1947, 48, ndandiseHaganah, umanduleli woMkhosi woKhuselo kwa-Israyeli, kwaye ndandingazi ukuba ndinetalente yokuba ngumdubuli. Ndidubule kakuhle. Ndisenako ukubeka iimbumbulu ezintlanu kwisangqa esibomvu. Kodwa andichukumisi umpu ukusukela ngoColumbine.
Kutheni le nto ucinga ukuba uninzi lwabantu baseMelika bafumana imipu ishushu? Izandiso zePenile? Andiyifumani [imipu] ishushu. Ndonzakele kakhulu ngomhla wam wokuzalwa kwamashumi amabini. I-cannonball yangena kwindawo yokuhlala abafundi eJerusalem, yaqhuma, yabulala amanye amantombazana kanye ecaleni kwam, kwaye isinqwazi sangena kwimilenze yam yomibini.

Iifudo ukuba zihlala endaweni enye zikhuselekile, kuba zithwele indlu yazo emqolo. Kodwa ukuba olofudo lufuna ukuhamba, kufuneka lubeke emngciphekweni-kwaye lukhuphe intamo yalo, into ethetha ukuba ingonzakala.

Waqala ukuthetha ngesondo kunomathotholo ngo-1981. Kwesi sithathu senkulungwane, indlela eli lizwe elizijonga ngayo isondo ikukhuthaze kwaye yakukhathaza njani?

Eyona nto indenza buhlungu kukuba sinezinto zokuthintela ukukhulelwa kunye nokuqhomfa kwindawo yezopolitiko kunakwimpilo yoluntu. Into endiyivuyisayo, kukuba [ngakumbi] abasetyhini bathathe uxanduva ngee-orgasms zabo.
