I request you to work relentlessly & with abnegation so as to be always deserving of the fatherland & build in peace a State which is not a mere juxtaposition of ethnic, religious or language groups, but a real national community.#PaulBiya#OneAndIndivisible#ProudCameroonian
It's Pidgin (Edit: Likely Cameroon/English Pidgin), just like it says in the URL and the header.

Fascinating. I should have picked up on that, but whatever.
Today has been educational =)
I found it very easy to read and understand. All I had to do was read it with that crazy accent.
I think something's wrong with me

Terran Federation?
Do we get to fight giant space bugs while sharing showers and bunks with hot female recruits? If so I am all for it. Sign me up!
(BTW there was a time when I really wanted to get a Ruger Mini-14 and an aftermarket kit that will convert it into a 'Morita' style bullpup. Not the big infantry issued behemoth, but the sleek, PDW version, PS-90 looking thing that is stowed in the side compartments of the landing craft in the film.)
Pidgins are flying rats. Didn’t know they could talk. Now I’m gonna tell them to quit shitting everywhere
Interestingly enough the movie you refer to has very little to do with the book that it was named after, apart from a few basic concept ideas.
The director I think said he was too busy to read the book.
If you go read the book (which I highly recommend, even though I think there are significant errors in some of it's suggestions/conclusions ), you'll see it's much more interesting and intelligent than the movie.
Pigeon? Bender just got wood.
It is actually one of the first books I have read, and just like Cold Mountain, has had some of the most profound impacts on me.
Favorite parts were whenever Johnny Rico discusses Col. Dubois' History and Moral Philosophy classes in detail. Almost felt like I myself was sitting in that class and compelled to raise my hand and join the discussion. The mentions about juvenile violent crime, drug use, deviant behaviors were almost prophetic for our current age and indeed, Heinlein described the era before the rise of the Terran Federation as one which crime and sexual deviance ran rampant, military veterans were attacked by thugs in their home countries, and there was no respect for law anymore. VERY similar to our society's current state. The Federation's founding was the result of a silent majority of combat vets and citizens who were pissed off and could not take it anymore. The space battles, mech armor and ships were just a plot device for a very elaborate and scientific analysis of human society in an age of technology and conflicting morals. (Incidentally, the campaign by current leftists to maintain total political correctness and suppress free speech as well as push abhorrent behaviors down peoples' throats MAY just lead to a devastating boiling over of public anger that will trigger a revolutionary event.)
Imagine my satisfaction when I secured a Libravox audio copy of the entire book from YouTube. Just finished listening to it again for the 3rd time last month. Heinlein and H. Beam Piper were the true masters of military science fiction. Everything that came afterward are all reused and rebuilt from their original themes. By the way, the scene where Rico, now an OCS cadet, meets his father who had just signed up for the M.I. at Sanctuary Base was done perfectly by the writer. Definitely will hit ya' right in the feels. As well as in the final part where father and son makes the drop together on the same mission. Fucking got dusty for me quick.

I thought this was a thread about the article @1J04 wrote for “Jailer Monthly” about things he has seen on the CCTV installed for “trustee protection” that he records and makes into DVDs and sells on the dark web for propane money....
Anyways.

My bad about that man. It started with taking a crack at the words of the President of Cameroon which sounded........very familiar.
Exactly... how many clicked here expecting to find a picture of some Masters golfer who did 18 holes and came from behind...
Cheers, Sirhr
Ok, I just cried a little bit laughing my ass off...............
I can't stop thinking of poor Piper Perri.
