Can I switch places with Shawn then? I wanna live in another country for once o3o

I tell my mom about this place often. Mostly about the political stuff that goes on in blogs, though.

Economics is awesome! Politics, on the other hand, is almost as bad as sports. At least politics get paid as much as they should, whereas athletes get paid too damn much despite the fact that they hardly contribute anything good to the community.

They contribute entertainment, and if it weren't for sports even more of the world would be obese than they already are. While you may not like sports, it doesn't mean that they don't contribute anything. I mean.. while yes they might be getting paid a little more than they should, it's just the same as actors: they get paid to entertain.

All Politics does is make people argue.
 
71

So entertainment > education? If it weren't for learning how the hell would these people even know how to play the sports they do? Same with acting; you aren't born with the ability to act.

What a twisted, freaked up society we live in. Someday I'll write a letter to Obama or whoever's president when I build up the courage to do so saying how teachers need to be paid more than athletes and actors.

...This is probably the only thing I'd be willing to argue about, politics-wise. The same with capital punishment. I'm also very close to being pro-life but there are still some factors that make me think abortion is sometimes OK.

/stops with the politics; I'm getting tired of hearing my own arguments

uh... Wow. I was just mentioning how sports contribute to our lives, since you said that they didn't do much, and I even agreed that they might be a bit overpaid for what they do. I didn't say a single word about education, or anything. I agree that there needs to be more emphasis on education. You're jumping to conclusions, my dear. I wasn't looking at sports at a financial point of view. I was looking at it at a life-style point of view.

I'd actually been talking to my mother about how I think teachers should be paid more than athletes earlier, so that's where I pulled that from XD;

Still, sports teach kids that if you lose you're screwed and that education isn't as important since you can still make a crapload without having to learn as much. And even the jobs that aren't sports that pay a lot aren't used as role models as much as sports.

...I should really stop. I'm terrible at arguing, especially when it comes to getting my point across. Just like Winston Payne.

A lot of athletes actually have degrees. A lot of athletes would probably also go and tell people to go and get an education. Also, I think you're limiting your view to the Big Leagues, such as the NFL and so on. There are soooooo many sport teams and stuff that go around that aren't big league and that people go and do on their spare time. There are also many sport competitions that help things such as Cancer, the Salvation Army, and just so many other things. Let's not drag the whole foundation of Sports because of the big leagues. There's so much more to it.

I see your point, but there are so many holes. It probably doesn't help that your biased against them.

Also. Marching Band is a Sport. kthnksbye.

Like I said, terrible at arguing XD; Nonetheless, I still say they should cut athletes'/actors' pay and raise teachers' pay so that it's more fair. They may not appear in tabloids as much, but they're heroes too.

/edits in "heroes" and the FT Main Theme begins to play; SOB I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH A WEEK OF NATSU SUPPOSEDLY BEING DEAD EVEN THOUGH IT'S LIKELY HE ISN'T

Actually, my MacroEconomic teacher says that right now College teachers are getting more because more people are going back to school. he said that when the Economy is up, college teachers get less because more people go 'oh lol i can just easily get a job without a degree' and thus a while back the college teachers (i guess at my college) joked and said that the Economy should go down a little (but not as much as it did).
 
78

...Brb rooting for the economy to go down (but not so down that we go into a terrible recession or another Great Depression...).

Also doesn't help that I read a Foxtrot comic in one of my books where the teacher said something like: "I've got a job lined up at a fast food joint for the summer. Finally, this teacher's gonna know what it's like to earn cash!"
 
79.

.... The unemployment rate is already terribly high, and you want it to go higher? I hooonestly hope you're joking; economists are already talking about how we might head into a double-dip (aka another recession, though some argue we never got out of the recession in the first place). I would love to get a job kthnksbye. The unemployment rate here is like.. 12ish percent.

Usually if I start off with "Brb *insert something here*" I'm joking. Unless it's anime/video game-related XD; You're not alone in wanting a paid job!

Politics is a necessary evil. It is a non-violent means of arguing. It really is a battleground of words and legalities and personal constitution. o3o You fight for what you believe in. Don't blame the system: blame the players of the game. :B

ANYWHO! Heyyyy everybody :3 I not dead yet.
