Gary is a town in NW Indiana named after the founding chairman of U.S. steel, Elbert H. Gary. It was once a nice middle class town with many steel mills and small businesses but ran downhill mainly because of urban decay. Now it has a 25% poverty rate and more than twice as much crime as the US average. Many great people are from Gary, such as the Jackson family, many NFL stars, aswell as actors. Now, Gary remains little more than a poor derelict city. If you happen to drive through Gary, you will notice that it looks more like a post apocalyptic town. NWI locals generally give it the nickname "Scary, Indiana."

Get the Gary, Indiana mug.The working class are people that have to work jobs that are either monotonous and demeaning or dangerouns and dirty. Many of them work with little payment or high job insecurity in assembly lines and on highways, but some make more money than their upper-middle class white collar bretheren. I've met some people that are blue collar, yet live in a large house next to doctors and businessmen in a subdivision, retired at 50, and drive new cars. Many of them have a similar standard of living to the middle class and after years of work (depending on career), get above-median incomes, meaning that with two income-earners could have six-figure incomes. Unfortunately, that is only a small percentage. A lot of them loose their jobs, homes, and end up in poverty.

Get the Working Class mug.Army kids are mainly nerds and geeks that have an obsession with anything that has to do with the military. They usually talk about weapons and go paintballing/airsofting and take it seriously. These kids look up to authority figures and aspire to become one. Their intelligence varies from below average to very high and are generally out-casted. They often have an arrogant attitude and although are usually not a main member of school cliques, tend to drift around and have several friends (mainly other nerds, thespians, punks, etc.)

Get the Army Kid mug.Firearms are used for several reasons
-Cheating in a knife fight
-Commiting Crimes
-Hunting
-Destroying small objects out of boredom
-Target Practice
These tools first came around in China with the work of gunpowder. Europe began using firearms in the late 1300s. In the 1500s, the arquebus arrived and anyone could be recruited into the army in a short time, thus knights or any other honorary soldier that had spent a years to a lifetime training weren't needed as little skill was involved in operating a gun. In modern times, many countries have banned them, but they remain common in criminal hands. Although most firearm owners are honest non-criminals, any idiotic scum can get their hands on a firearm, giving it a bad reputation, and giving politicians thought about banning specific guns. There is much controversy in this issue, afterall some people just like going duck hunting with 155mm howitzers, and small concealable silenced automatic weapons designed for murder are perfectly safe after all.
