What would you rather do?

Poll question: What would you rather do?

Ok y'all I just got back from canvassing which I did because I felt it right of course and I have a government project which requires me to do work for a campaign and I got 60% of it done today which was 6 hours, I plan to go above and beyond the 10 hours min requirement. The alternative is that you have to do a 20 page research paper with the topic decided by the county. So y'all here's the question.
Would you rather do work for a campaign for at least 10 hours and write a 1-3 page report on it, photo report on it or what have you, or would you do the lovely 20 page essay report. Plus did I mention, I've met some great people through getting political, and that many of those people kick more ass than my already friends.

1. The campaign work with short paper

Doing a variety of things would be more fun, I think. You'd also get some great experience.

:hi:

2. Thats what I said

There are some idiots in government class who think this would be so hard. I got 60% of my work done today, but I am not gonna just do the 10 hours required. In fact I've already done more, but I won't count my work in Eastern Pa or my Homecoming parade work.

12. PLUS

the chance to meet new demfems!!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

14. exactly

Thats what I was hinting at damnit. Lefty Girls :loveya:, beauty, sense of humor, brains.

[jukes]

16. sure tips the balance

even if the scales had o'wise been equal...

[JohnKleeb]

17. They're great

Really,
I wish they all were Lefty Girls ;)
hah thats so fucking lame I could cry.

3. I say go with the political work

There's nothing like real life.

[bigwillq]

4. Do the volunteer work

and the short report.

I feel you will get more experience out of the project this way rather than sitting in front of a computer to write the 20 pages.

[JohnKleeb]

5. Heh I aint asking for advice

I did 60% of the volunteer work already and Ive technically done more.

[bigwillq]

6. Ok, I won't give you any anymore

Sorry.

[JohnKleeb]

8. No, you can give me advice

but I don't need any on this, I just wanted to show you all how stupid some people are :D.

[bigwillq]

9. Oh, ok, now I get it (nt)

[JohnKleeb]

11. Yeah

It's cool man, just clarifying. It's really easy work plus you meet so many interesting people out there, like when me and my fellow canvasser were out today, we needed directions so we asked this kid who was about 10, and the guy I was with asked, well who are your parents supporting, he said Kerry, so we handed him some stuff and he had an interesting view on how Bush fucked up in Iraq, we did explain to him that Saddam was bad but the war was wrong because Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 and he didn't have WMDs. Yep we democrats love Saddam :D.

[bigwillq]

13. That's cool about that 10-year old

It's refreshing to know that even kids that age are taking an interest in what is going on in this world, with insight from his parents of course.

This project that you're doing sounds really cool.

[JohnKleeb]

15. Its pretty clear cut, its due after the liberation

Yeah it is cool about the kid, when I was passing out stickers at a football game with my young dems sponsor, this kid about the same age comes over and says can I please have a sticker, we of course happily gave him one and he said he was a big fan of Kerry and he had seen the debate. It's just great.

7. When I was in HS, I would have done the paper....

but I was rather shy and very liberal in a VERY conservative community. I would have either been forced to be confrontational or been forced to lie about who I was.

Now? Here? I'd do the volunteer work because I'm not so shy anymore and my community is safer for me as a liberal.

Pcat

[JohnKleeb]

10. Well I know how being shy is

but even if I lived in a more conservative area, I'd still do the work because really it aint all just talking. BTW the idiots in my class who say they'd rather do the paper are the same ones who complain about how hard everything is and shit, god they make me feel like some intelluctal, I hate being made to feel like that, I am a dumbass just like everyone else is heh.

[politicat]

18. Sounds like the idiots in your class are complaining to hear their voices.

I've got a cat like that. She'll sit under the AC vent or in front of the fan and then complain that she's f-f-f-freezing....

Whiners.

You're doing the right thing, JK.

Pcat

[JohnKleeb]

19. I hate having to sound intelluctual because the truth is

I am average as far as everything goes, I ain't incredibly smart or knowledgable I don't think. They're just idiots, it's not hard to do and as I said you meet people through it, and besides its the right thing to do well if you work for a dem ;).
