Today I was called a "tree-hugging, baby-killing liberal". While I was stunned, the girl was also quick to remark that she was surprised I wasn't left handed. (Although I have to admit, that's a good one.)
Simply because I said I found it interesting that most politicians who were pro-life were also pro-death penalty. I was torn between what I wanted to call her (something along the lines of a pushy, intolerant bible thumping conservative) and saying "thank you". Thankfully, Mr. Pickup put a quick end to the, ahem, "civilized discussion". I bet that's the last time he ever lets Roe vs. Wade be debated in his classroom. Am so happy that this class was Mr. Pickup's and not Mr. Butler's. I think Mr. Butler would use those words to describe me himself.
My debate is "Do you think the UN is effective?". I'm con side, which is good, and I'm paired with another con person. Yayee, go me. ::cheerleader moves::
Was also repressing the urge to kill the chamber choir members. They are apprently not aware that I would commit murder to be in chamber choir, and maybe Mrs. Dean should choose people who are willing to try, practice, and perform over those who can without a second thought. The brats.
But, rather than going and seeing TTT after school tomorrow, I am getting out half an hour early. Hurray. This is indeed a Good and Joyful Thing.

Re:
I just think its something that looks better on paper than working; like communism. If you have the right people in charge, sure. It could work. But so far, it doesn't seem to work. The UN can debate, sign, etc., but its a fact of life: not everyone is going to agree. It seems extremely idealistic to me, and I don't think its working like Wilson thought it would.

Essentially, if you are arguing against the UN, you want to squirrel your motion so that you discuss only the bits of the UN which are about Achieving World Peace.
