i was worried that maybe i was getting dumber recently but today changed all of that. today in english we discussed what my class thought were important social issues.
these are the issues folks
immigration - how do we meet our quota? how do we protect our borders better? why is there even a process to get in? (yes, those are all questions that go together and don't conflict with each other)
kony 2012 - is it our business to help? where is he now? (first of all, if you've talked about kony non sarcastically in the last month, go die in a fire. secondly, is it our business to help small african children? did you really just ask that? all i can imagine is some white man feeding an african baby with a bottle and some white woman saying "oh terry, please stop doing that, if you keep interacting with it the mother will never take it back". )
legal drugs vs illegal drugs (nobody actually cared about this but the guy who brought the topic up went on a rant about weed, which i agreed with, but he was still a dumbass. also a conservative guy made sure to let everyone know he thought dumbass #1 was wrong.)
school overcrowding (unfortunately the least important issue got the most legitimate discussion)
legal drinking age - why 21? what would happen if it was 18? (i was legitimately surprised that nobody had any inkling as to why the drinking age was 21. also ill tell you what would happen if the drinking age was 18. people would start drinking at age 18 just like the rest of the fucking world you ignorant american sheltered farm animal.)
i dont even remember the last topic we talked about as a class, i was too busy crying on the inside.
also you know you have a great english teacher when she has to ask the class what the difference between 'affect' and 'effect'.
