Okay, time again for another rant.
I was sitting in debate class today, and we started doing student congress; pretty much like voting for bills and stuff for our debate class. It was fine till people started talking. Seriously, everyone wanted things to be easier. Now, I'm most likely going to swear because ignorant people piss me off.
One bill was "grading should be easier". What the hell? I have an A- in that class and I do my work. I don't have any empathy whatsoever for people who don't do their work and want better grades. One of his arguments was "It's just debate, its not like an english class or anything" well, dumbshit it is too. It's taught by an english teacher, and it's an credit course. If you fail the class it means you aren't showing your learning.
I gave a negative speech on the subject, and I made very good points and my teacher seemed to agree with me. No other students did... but I regard some of them as ignorant dumbf***s not all, but some. I'm not pointing anyone out specifically... so I shouldn't be getting in trouble for posting this. I'm just extremly pissed. Anyways, back to the story... Overall my speech was so much better than the other person's, and of course the whole class voted me down for obvious reasons.
Later I gave my speech, I said that the classroom should be run like a government, some what like my english class. It's a great idea having one meeting a week under a loose version of parlimentary procedures, which is how you hold parliment and business meetings. It's a good idea, I presented it well, and the teacher thought it was a somewhat good idea I think. But of course the ignorants just ruled over it and failed the bill; which is fine for me, we've only got a few weeks left anyways... It just pisses me off to the point where I envy those awkward hermits that live in the mountains... because I often think they are very smart, and I may eventually live like that. It's just difficult living with people who are so stupid. Everyone just wants the easy way out...
Don't get me wrong, I have my times where I dont want to think, work, or do anything else. It's my time to be "ridiculous" no one is ever always mature or always smart... we've got our stupid times and all of that. Why do you think so many geeks have those stupid "why would you ever need that" stuff? It's because if not, we'd explode. I'm satisified writing a 3 page paper of technical documentation, and then going to YouTube trying to get rick roll'd or myspace and chatting people up. It's how I work. But if someone asks me a question I answer it, if I dont know the answer. I find it; or tell them why I can't find it. Unless I'm running low on resources where I just kind of ignore everyone. But I believe that knowledge is our greatest tool, next to experience.
