[X] Uneducated Crazies.

So, the Current World Issues class I'm taking. Sounds fun, right? Maybe without the crazies that seem to be populating it! As a one semester class, clearly it is a slacker senior class. And I can deal. Because I am, clearly, a slacking senior. And yet... some people in that class make me so angry. Just...worse than the usual crazies that make me laugh, these people actually make me angry.

A Profile:

The Crazy Drinking Girl: Well, this girl is one of the major players on the drinking scene here in the high school arena. Which is fine, you know, because I don't drink and so I don't have to be her friend. But she also talks in class in a...less than erudite manner.
Sample conversation: "I think, like, that teenagers these days, aren't as connected, you know, because of, like, technology, or something, and, like, texting."
ACK! Sorry if I come off as overly annoyed, but really?! Cut out half the words and you can go back to sleeping and illicitly texting in half the time!! Do it!

The Crazy Conservative: Ah, the creeper that is living in the fifties. Not the cool clothing fifties, that I would be okay with, but the power-suit-superiority-of-men-superiority-of-ME kind of fifties. Great. Sexism, just what I like. I can just imagine our abortion discussion. (Little politics here: I believe guys have no right to choose what we do. Come on, if you've been raped, you should have a legal right to get an abortion.) He also wears suits to school. Every day. But not in the hot GQ kind of way. The creepy fifties ill-fitting suit way. GAH! Fashion faux-pas all over the place!!!!! GAH!

Ah, crazies.
