my US gov't teacher(big bush supporter) ask the class to bring in a political cartoon supporting bush and whatnot. i got a different idea for that:

i showed this pic to my mom and she said i would get in very big trouble for bringing it to school. now that makes me question the free speech in this country today. is it being taken away? i seen similar incidents that occured.

I say turn it in... what could she do...nothing

SolidSnake76 09-28-2004 05:24 PM

no, i wont get in trouble with her.

she says its the school or whoever is higher, like the state, i get in trouble with. remember the patriot act? is free speech in this country fading?

well if the assignment is to get a cartoon that is pro-bush......mabey you shouldnt turn that in.....(you werent too specific)


if the assignment is just to find any old political cartoon, then go for it (aslong as you dont break any of the school rules)

hell yeah; turn it in. start poop. start as much poop as possible.

but for god sakes, at least make it yourself. i dont thnik highly enough of you to beleive you thought of that image yourself.

VF... I don't think Solidsnake's teacher wanted them to make it.. but I think he/she wanted them to just bring one... Correct me if I'm wrong.

However, I did find the slogan very funny... the paradox brought out from the James Bond theme is simply uncanny.. I tip my hat to whoever thought of the idea.. Except remember that's some ppl's point of view.. and not for everyone.

My take is, if you know that your school or whoever is in charge would get mad for bringing in something like that, then you might want to change it. Cause, at this point in ur life, you're not trying to make a big politcal statement.. but get a good grade on ur school work...so just go with the flow. The issue of free speech can always rare its beautiful head later on.. when you know your grades.. or anything affecting ur life cannot be harmed.

Of course the issue of free speech has always been bent.. we're not as free as we think we are.. that's just the honest truth :biggrin:

no way. i'd rather die then let someones oppion be forced upon me.

so im gonna force solidsnake to bring it in.

do it, biatch!

If he brought in that image, he would not be doing the assignment....

so I guess its a choice on if he wants an "A", or if he wants his opinion to be heard....



If I were in the same situation, I would complete the assignment correctly, and then tell the teacher (and mabey the class) that I do not necessarily support the views of the cartoon I brought in....
