  11. I love those goggles...I used to use them all the time!
  12. lol, i was wondering what your meant haha...its too late to think...between midterms, and papers my brain is fried Jeffrey- regarding the womans comments...sure she can comment on it all she wants-she has every right in the world to do that. I just think there are other places to do this than at the polls. She volunteered to be there, therefore it was her duty to help out people rather than criticize them. Had she gone home and said anything or been anyone else in that building that would be an entire different story. It's not a rights issue, its just the matter of making those who came out feel unwelcome and turned off to the idea of going back I agree and dissagree with this statement. It is one thing to encourage and/or push a person to vote who has no idea whats going on just for the sake of getting them out to vote...its a complete different story when you encourage them to vote and provide them with information on how to make an informed decision. As for pushing them to vote...Noone is taking students by the hands and dragging them out while they are kicking and screaming and fighting not to go. Those who did go went voluntarily. Also, another point to consider is that for many schools this is midterm time. It takes a lot of time to get out to the voting site and vote...if one didn't really care what was going on, why would they put in the effort when they could clearly be putting it in somewhere else? Perhaps encouragement is exactly what people need to get out and vote. Previously, everything having to do with the election was targeted at an older audience...now that it is targeted at everyone of voting age, more people feel the need or desire to get out and vote. I believe there is oppurtunity to obtain more information on candidates and voting than ever before. Encouraging students to find this information as well as bringing it to them definitely influences their political thoughts... *daizey*
  13. I'm sorry but I find a lot of college students to be a lot more educated than many of the adults out there....At least they open their minds up and seek knowledge rather than sticking to one idea. I also find it funny that people say that college students are uneducated...believe it or not, in addition to partying at college some of us actually do learn something. The attitude presented here is exactly the attitude I got today. Its narrowminded and sterotypical. Yes there are things like Michael Moore and MTV to sway our minds to think one way, but there are also history classes, government classes, and tons of outside committees that provided election info all over school that can help sway students minds as well. I think if anything students have the oppurtunity to be much more informed than the vast majoity of people out there. *daizey*
  14. All of our poll workers were fairly older...i dont believe there was even one there was was in his or her 20's... Just flipping through the channels i noticed MTV say that they have surpassed the 20 million mark of voters age 18-29
  15. that is ridiculous!! Its great they push young people to vote then when it comes time to, they give them every reason not to! Are people really that afraid of the next generation? *daizey*
  16. I was happy to see so many young people out too-I was just really upset with the way they were being treated...I hope its not happeneing everywhere because it is a real turnoff We definitely wanted to say something just as rudely back to that lady, but I'm sure that would have given her and some of the others just one more reason to hate that we were there... Apparently someone did say something and a local news station took note of the situation, because someone just said there have been lots of cameras down there-and I guess the mood down there has improved dramatically! I can't imagine who would have complained *daizey*
  17. Kallend, Someone made the comment while we were there that students are only getting out to vote this year because mtv, the media, and celebrities are telling them too. Have you found this to be true at all among your students? I personally think it has a little to do with it, but I really dont think young people are going into it with the "Im going to vote because MTV told me to." I believe young people are better informed now more than ever before and are voting because they want to have a voice... *daizey*
  18. Students at my school seems to be pretty well informed too. There have been countless programs this year for students helping them to learn everything about the candidates and what to expect when you get out to vote. It just makes me so mad that this lady seemed to be doing everything in her power to try and get us out of there...she seemed to be trying to do everything to get us not to vote *daizey*
  19. At least that was what I was told when I tried to go out and vote today. What amazes me is that here everyone is trying to get college students out to vote...and then once they do go out, they get treated like they have no place being there.... My friends and I went out to our local polling place which happens to be right near all of the major universities in the area. We get out of the car and I'm kind of shocked at just how many young people there are out voting! The younger crowd definitely out numbered the older which was pretty cool...too bad those inside didn't think so. We get in line just in time to hear one of the women who are providing information turn to another man and say how ridiculous it is that the local colleges are transporting the students there. "College students are just a bunch of misinformed kids who have no place here." she says. She goes on to say that the only reason we are there is because someone told us to be and we probably dont even have an educated reason for picking the cadidate we are voting for today. "The majority of them are very ignorant afterall" Nice. Its always great to be at a place where you aren't wanted. This attitude keeps up the entire time we are there. If any student asked a question they were greeted with a rude response which typically didn't even answer the question. Heard most often was that we need to be better informed, yet when anyone else who didn't arrive with the students asks questions they are provided with an answer right away. The one woman keeps muttering about how we shouldnt be there. I think she was happy to see the crowd of students go, until she saw the next buss pull up. As a citizen of the USA, I have the opportunity to help decide who should lead our country. I try and go out to fulfill this responsibility and am called ignortant for being there in the first place... I don't mean this to sound like a rant or a wine, I just think its ridiculous that finally, more young people than ever before get out and vote and now instead of people saying we won't go out and let our voices be heard, they are saying go back home because your voices shouldn't be heard. *daizey*
  20. 3:0:0 3 of the best days I've had in about a month Sunday was beautiful here!! I wish it was 70 degrees in NY at the end of October more often!! Even though it was gorgeous I stayed on the ground...my reserve is in need of a repack and I really just had no desire to jump since i was enjoying other things too much. Instead, I enjoyed the warm weather at the beach attempting to fly a kite and just staring at the waves while wrapped in the arms of a very special someone
  21. Hey Alana, Try this post Not sure if its the exact one you are looking for, but it does give some links to some good visuals. *daizey*

    Ashley Simpson

    Seems like this whole incident definitely put a dent into her popularity... She was supose to be at a Best Buy nearby this week....originally the deal was you had to purchase a camera to get in and get a picture taken....ever since Saturday its been changed to a free admission, and you can bring your own camera for the picture I think they're jsut a little worried not many people will show up.... She also cancelled another nearby live appearance... I almost feel bad for the girl......almost... *daizey*
  24. haha, nah you're not a freak (not about this anyway) I was soo scared when i had one done...but afterwards it was soo cool! The stuff they inject into you makes you feel a little funky...but its kinda cool too! haha I never got to see my pictures though (course they werent of my brain either, but it still woulda been cool!) Hope your headaches get better soon! *daizey*
