I got to vote for the first time this year since my birthday was after elections last year. (FAIL. D<)
But yeah...I am actually quite influenced by some of the things I hear in the political ads I watch on TV and hear on the radio.
For one, I live in Washington so Reppy might know what I am talking about here...but sometimes they need to watch what they put in their ads. Murray had one on the radio about how she is against tasing kids in school and I (not literally) about had a heart attack. I instantly made a comment to my step-dad next to me, "What?! Tasing kids? I didn't know that was a topic of debate in this election! Well...I am certainly not voting for her because some of those little bastards need to get tased..."
He had a good laugh because he knows it's true. :/
Security guards at school do nothing but stand there and if a fight breaks out then they jump in. But if a kid pulls out a gun, what are they going to do? "Oh um...lock down the school! Let's call the cops and wait for 15 minutes while they get here and see how many students die because we can't do jack ****." Yeah. D< Just tase the kid and get it over with, kthnx.
P.S. No, that is not the whole basis of my voting. I didn't just vote based on if they would tase kids or not. It was just what I happened to say at that time. |D
