Prop 8 Proceedings (American, quote, 2008)

ProggyMan · 03-05-2009, 08:11 PM

I went there with about 40 other kids from my school, the court now has 90 days to make their decision. There were some crazy campers, a lot of Russsian Americans and a group 18 year olds skinheads calling us ***gots and telling us how our balls hadn't dropped.

Were you protesting? If so, keep fighting the good fight!

I'm envious of you, I'd have been there if it was possible for me to be. And I actually just read about those kids, haha

The skinheads? They were such dbags, me and a couple friends were walking by and they were cussing us out, then this old guy told them to shut up and the guy with the megaphone said 'What are you gonna do about it old man?'.

Then there was this old, crazy guy telling me what a sinner he was and how he'd fornicated, committed adultery and broken all 10 commandments.

Alfred · 03-05-2009, 09:37 PM

How old? And what did you do?

ProggyMan · 03-05-2009, 11:01 PM

Like 65. I was just debating with him.

This comic pretty much sums up my opinion on people... I could not believe that on the same day a black man was elected president people people's right to marry the same sex was outed it really is painful. However I do commend you Proggyman for standing up for what you believe is right.

It's kind of sociologically ignorant to look at things that way. The Afro-American community of course pulled out big numbers for Obama, but minorities have are typically more discriminatory, particularly the Afro-American community. This all goes back to education though, the higher your education the more socially liberal you are and less bigoted. This goes back to the fact that schools in areas like Compton or Oakland aren't good schools. The Teachers Union, and I'm typically very for unions, is one of the worst things that's ever happened with education. This union, sort of like the Catholic church when it discovers one of their priests guilty of touching little boys, reorganizes their teachers based on how well they do. For instance, if you have a bad teacher teaching at a well-funded predominately White school in say...Connecticut, than they shift them around to perhaps a more poor southern, and most likely, predominately black school, and they teach poorly there and most likely the kids can't pull the grade so test standards are lowered to make money (this is No Child Left Behind in action) but the problem is the tests aren't good enough to get into college. Racism is still a problem, particularly in regards to our messed up education system, it hasn't been solved (I know no one has said this) because there's a black president. I mean you look at the shit going on in America still, like cancer alley in Louisiana, and it makes you realize how corrupt the system is.

An unaddressed problem with this propositions though, is their obtuse and deliberately syntax. In Florida for instance, where they got rid of Civil Unions, my friend had no idea what the proposition was talking about (in the end he just didn't vote.) There's also another issue which is how long some of these ballots get.
