I am a very politically involved person. I believe politics can and will affect the lives of each and every student in this state, country, and even the world. There is not a single part of our life that has not been somehow affected by politics, yet when you talk to a majority of students, they say they just don’t care, it doesn’t affect them and they just want to focus on their life. Get your head out of your ass! Wake up and realize that politics determines your future! Laws that are taking affect right now will determine rather or not you will be able to get a job when you graduate, something that seems less and less likely as the time passes. Students don’t realize student debt is a bigger crisis right now than it has ever been. If you go to graduate school and use financial aid to pay for it you could be repaying that debt for 30 to 40 years! How are you going to do that when you can’t even get a job, even with a college degree? What do you mean this doesn’t affect you or this doesn’t matter to you?
Wake up and get your head out of your ass! This affects you more than any other thing in your life. Start doing something about it.
It's too much to worry about right now. I'll let you worry about it for me. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to not engage and head-wall banging. If I choose to drop my major, some one else will pick it up. Thanks for picking it up for someone who dropped political interest.
ReplyDeleteI agree with 4:38 :) I already have a job, and am paying off my debt in the next year or so . . . and I'm going to grad school . . . so yeah . . . have fun worrying!!! :)
ReplyDeleteToo much to worry about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTry telling that to yourelf when some goddamn Republican schmuck gets into office and tries to turn the whole goddamn nation into a business. What a selfish, ignorant thing to say. This isn't some amusement park ride your on! You can't put your hands over your eyes and not pay attention. That's why this country is so dumb right now. Too many people not caring. Time to start caring and not letting someone else watch out for your dear old asses.
Sometimes I think we're all better off kept in the dark. It's not as frightening that way.
ReplyDeleteAnon 1:29, that's what most of Germany said when the Nazis were running their concentration camps. Care to revise?
ReplyDeleteAnon 3:57, priceless!
ReplyDeleteWell 3:57, are you sure that citizens of Germany really thought they had anything to be afraid of? I know many were suspicious, but a) didn't know what to do and b) it was out of intuition that people wanted to leave the country. Regardless, turn the lights on in our country now and it's not happy. It's scarier than hell.
ReplyDeleteI think America today in many ways is similar to the way Germany was just before the rise of Hitler, and it's not too far fetched to say that something just as miserable and/or tragic could be brewing right now in this country.
If there's anytime to get out of this country, it's now, or at least within the next year or so. There is little hope left for America in my eyes. So one can sit there and say, "Wake up America! We need to know what's going on in politics so we can effectively act to make this country better and make educated choices when it comes to elections, and our freedom depends on it!", but the problem is, no matter what, we're all fucked. It's time to leave this soon to be, and maybe even presently, God forsaken country. Power will always be transferred, and forces are always in flux, and what was once a great and powerful nation, is now a crumbling piece of crap.
Our country's citizens are lacking quality education, obsessed and dependent on useless technology and entertainment, brainwashed by the media, and too focused on what's going on in their own bubble, and are for the most part, missing the big picture. Americans want Jersey Shore, smart phones, Facebook, sports, McDonald's, nice cars, nice clothes, and everything else that is a complete waste, and it all serves as a grand distraction from what's happening in this country. And it's working. Who really thinks anymore? Who really cares anymore? We're all stupid sheep. Say BA! The only hope for those who aren't part of the herd is to get the hell out of this place. It's deteriorating from the inside out, and we hardly even realize it.
