CS Debate Thread

Ooh! Ooh! *raises hand* I can has make topic?
Okay, so my principal ADMITTED to getting on our Facebook pages.
And looking at them! Most people my age don't really mess with the settings, so their profiles are public.
She goes on and looks at our stuff D:< And she says to us, "I see you guys saying inappropriate things and changing your statuses to in a relationship, and you guys..." and she went on about how we shouldn't do that. Then she continued with, "I mean, I don't want to know if you ate steak for dinner. I don't care if it's the best steak ever, you don't need to say that on Facebook!" Well, Mrs. Hateful, (what I call the principal c:) you really don't need to look at that if you don't want to. Then my friend Bobby raised his hand and asked, "Well, isn't that privacy invasion?" so...is it? Is our principal what our parents always said to stay away from on the internet?

I agree with you the principle doesn't need to get on Facebook and view your profiles she was most probably looking for something that she could gripe about to yall.

OH SHE GRIPED.
SHE GRIPED GOOD.

She loves having things to complain about. It's like, her passion, or something D:

I would be soooo annoyed if that happened to me!!

Most kids were really annoyed.
I was in shock.
Her son was happy.

I do agree that women should have more rights, but I'm not one to complain about that in particular (not a feminist). Sure, I'm a girl and when I need to get a job (really soon) I'll probably wish I had it as easy as a man would, but in relation to history we've actually gotten very far in a very short amount of time. A hundred years isn't that long, and by the end of my lifetime women will probably be nearly as respected as men, if not as respected and well payed.
We have a lot of opportunity here, we're so spoiled we don't realize it.
Although, to be fair, there will probably never be such thing as equal opportunity. It's just not rational, like a eutopia, it doesn't work, and it's not fair and not many people like that. The poor, the sick, the disabled, the foreigners, they don't have as good a chance to make it big. But well... Some do, and as a woman I'm up to the challenge of proving myself worthy. I'll work with what I've got. 8)

I'm confused. You sound like a feminist but then you said you weren't.

fem·i·nism
–noun
1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.

I think I'm a feminist...

Sorry I have really no say in this new topic going around. I don't have a facebook so.... Plus I don't get why the principle's kid was happy...

I don't think women should have special rights, but nobody should be opressed. (I see no reason why women should have equal rights to do jobs they aren't physically built for, and to be honest I'm not a supporter of women in political offices, they tend to make decisions based on emotion more than men do) Women just happened to be the topic, my arguements would be be similar with variations depending on what gender/minority is being spoken about.
Although to be fair, I did word it in a feminist way. XD

You guys don't mind that this is here, do you? viewtopic.php?f=18&t=553452
I accidentally made a different debate thread before I knew about this one.
Can I still keep mine?
I just felt bad about it and didn't want to seem like I was copying.

[Smoogiepie]

People should care more about cartoons. It's always the realistic stuff that gets all the comments and likes. I mean, come on. Cartoons are just as good. Learn to have an open mind. Realism is just copying God's style.

[Alianna013]

Exactly I love to watch cartoons because it brings the kid in me out when I can't find anything to smile about.

I have something to debate about if anyone cares to say something about it; I don't know if it's just me and my school, but my teachers don't read our papers and stuff. Once when I wanted to change my project type (long story) but she (my teacher) wouldn't let me, I wrote about two pages (front and back) about how much I wanted to change it and she didn't say anything. Then, though I was nervous I wrote 'blah blah blah, you're not even reading this' in one of my essays and she didn't say anthing and I got 100. O.o Why do teachers like not even read these things...

Aaaw... I wish my school was like this. D: They make us write so many essays... I wish I could fill my Music project essay with 'Quack quack quack mozart quack quack' and stull get 100%.

But I guess if you really wanted to do the essay and worked hard on it, it would kind of suck if the teacher didn't even look at it... :\
