In school we watch a show called Channel One. It is on every day during homeroom. We are forced into watching it. Once, when a student didn’t watch it, the teacher strangled him, shot him, threw him out the window and then lit him on fire. Just kidding, she didn’t light him on fire. HAHA. Anyways, we are forced into watching this show. The show isn’t bad. It gives us the news, current events, exciting happenings, and so on. But what frustrates me is the commercials. Only so many people are authorized to advertise in a school environment. (The United States Department of Acceptable School Commercials (USDASC) was founded solely for this reason) That means that there are a total of 5 commercials that they play over and over again. There is one of these I hate the most, and that is the STAND commercial.
This commercial has a teenage girl who stands in front of a graffitied wall complaining about how her dad smokes. She says the companies purposely get her dad to smoke just because they want money. When I heard this I was outraged. I mean, how can a company try to make money! That is preposterous! Or not. All my favorite companies try to make money. My favorite companies include Wendy’s, Walmart, and Joe’s Crab Shack (I got Crabs at Joe’s!) Most of these places try and make money. I have actually never heard of a business that was not trying to make money. Except for maybe McDonald’s. I think they are out for world domination.
Anyways in response to STAND I propose we start a group called SIT (Student Helpers as Interns for Tobacco). I decided not to go with SHIT because, I mean, who would want to join that group? Our motto would be, “Don’t let annoying teenagers with marker on their hand control your life, get up and SIT.” This is, of course, still being worked on. What we would do is go around and find member of STAND and just sit on them. We would also have meetings and crap and maybe even a headquarters. Of course we would be backed by the government with huge grants and subsidies and have celebrity endorsements. The membership would be comprised of students who are smart and know that when we lose some of our freedoms, we lose all of our freedoms.
Always remember, Get up and SIT!
This is exactly why we need to spread the word about Libertarianism. The purpose of any company is TO MAKE MONEY! the theorem behind intelligent people’s use of a product or service is that if it sucks people will not buy it! Obviously cigarrettes aren’t killing too many people because people are still buying them. If all the smokers die, and the rest of us don’t smoke, the company will have to make toys or something. If other people want to smoke they have every right to. That is why this country is called America! (really, look it up, from latin A=do, MER=whatever, IC=you, A=want. (A has multiple translations)). Cars kill thousands of more people than cigarettes each year, but democrats haven’t figured out how to drive a tree yet, so no one is doing anti-GMC commercials. It is so irritating that some people want to BE TOLD WHAT TO DO BY THE GOVERNMENT!!! You have the FREEDOM to not smoke just like others have the FREEDOM to smoke. The truth is, government was not created to tell people what they can and cannot put into their body. If people are stupid enough to do oxycotin and LSD they are aware of what they are getting themselves into and have every right to control their bodies. GOVERNMENT REGULATION IS WHAT MAKES THE ILLEGAL DRUG RING THE TERRIBLE MONSTER THAT IT IS. If cokeheads could go get their product from a legitimate source, drug dealers would not make hundreds of thousands of illegal dollars and send addicts to live in the street because they spent all their money on crack. Unfortunately, this is one area where Canada has it right with their drug program. Amsterdam has a better idea also. Even though marijuana is legal there, more Americans use it than Dutchmen. Government restrictions on drugs just make them more appealing
Everybody should SIT down and realize how much more intelligent a world without wasteful and corrupt governments would be. If you want control over your ONE AND ONLY LIFE join the Libertarian Party and vote in Libertarian senators and representatives. And join the Libertarian Political Party group at Carroll High School’s Facebook website. (there is a link somewhere on this site)
John Stossel is a genius..read his book!
By the by, my favorite Channel 1 commercial is by far hockey commercial, especially after Ben’s parody. Ben you are THA BOMB!!!
haha, nice response, it is as long as my post.
i dont have the time to write as long as jonathon did but i will speak my mind or i guess type my mind….. I agree with you Jack but you do have one thing wrong… when you were saying that when the kid didnt watch channel one the teacher “strangled him, shot him, threw him out the window and then lit him on fire… i think you forgot a step.. you know, after they threw him out the window teh locked him in teh refrigerator without all food or drink except for ice, expired milk, and steaks n gravy. They actually cooked those for him cuz there sooo bad that they thought that the steak would prob be the worst…lol… Yea and i definately like the verizon hockey commercial best, and all teh marine and army ones. REMEMBER THE FEW THE PROUD THE MARINES… and Yes Ben’s hockey parody was great.. Yea im all for Libertarians since i am an honorary member of the facebook group..So in conclusion I AM PIMP…. and jack your sweet keep it up

matt that wasnt funny…dont hurt yourself
fight fight fight fight!
ok jon your right i mean im sry i must have been trying to hard.. im rele sry but i think you need to apologize yourself…I mean your response was great but you had one fatal fallacy… propter vestri penuria of scientia of vis physics argument est effectus vacuus… and it destroyed your texture of logical thought and therefore your whole argument. Propter vestri penuria of scientia of vis physics argument est effectus vacuus, that is “because of your lack of knowledge of quantum physics therfore argument is rendered useless” AS AT LEAST SOMEONE LIKE ME CAN UNDERSTAND A SUCH A SIMPLE IDEOLOGY AS QUANTUM PHYSICS… good luck in your self-described quest of “not believing in quantum physics” And i leave you with this, coming from words of the one and only Mr. Kyle Youker, “MAy all your dreams come true and your prayers be answered..”
Good Luck in all your future endeavors,
MATT
matt that wasnt funny…except for the youker thing
and i understand quantum physics..it just seems too philosophical. And i understand why it could be true but I don’t think that human perception controls reality.
well if you don’t understand quantum physics or open a textbook and find out for yourself, or have miss chemistry teacher (or however the bloody hell you spell it) shove 666 worksheets down your throat. Anyays Jack since i am typing this message, i am not doing our histiry project, and since without this website i wouldn’t be posting this, its your fault the history project. And since its your fault the history project isn’t done, its your faul that I don’t get a solid grade on the next test, and since it is your fault i don’t get a solid grade on the next test, it is your fault i don’t get an A in history. And since it is your fault i don’t get an A in histroy, it is your fault i never didn’t get on the honor roll (I missed it by 1 letter grade jack, thanks a lot), and since its your fault i didn’t make the honor roll, its your fault i never got a good university, and sice its your fault i never got into a good university, its your fault i never learned to defuse an highly explosive bomb called the earth destroyer ( guess why it’s called that, and since its your fault i never learned how to defuse the bomb, its your fault the earth blows up and we all die(also i don’t bealive in using periods except for this next one). Why? JACK? Why?
Gggggggennnnnnaaaaarrrrrrrrrrriii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your sins are not forgiven.
Genari. I like the attempt at a logical argument in the form of syllogistic deduction. However you have many non sequiters and forth term shift fallacies which are actually the same thing. Yes. Also your enthymemes lead to dangerous questions and sarcastic remarks lead to faulty conclusions. Also don’t wirte teacher’s names on here. We are not about bashing and defaming the good name of human beings. We are about spreading the word about how I am running for the presidency. We’ll let this one slide though because you can’t spell. That’s it for me.
Now I have to go plug and chug my chem homework.
Vote for Ben.
Ben is a loser. Only you can make him a winner.
ha! That was funny ben. Ill vote 4 u if u vote 4 me for 1st vice. Thats right, im running, (if i get around to it). Vote for jon
BEN FOR PRESIDENT
PLUG AND CHUG WITH BEN IN 2007
JACK you need a new post, immediately
