My classes make me want to troll
So in my useless contemporary business communication class, the assignment for today is to find an example of a well-known persuasive speaker and answer questions about one of their speeches in the public class forum.
Part of me wants to find one of Hitler's speeches to use as my example and watch what happens.
On one hand, this makes me feel perverse, argumentative and a terrible person. On the other hand, part of me really wants to do it to see just how many of the fuckheads go "I totally agree with that statement". I just want one person to disagree with something, because currently I'm the only person in the class who has the balls to not blow sunshine up everyone's ass.
I am now beginning to understand what legions of net trolls have already figured out; antagonizing is fun.
It's not that I want to cause trouble for the sake of trouble, it's that I'm sick and tired of hearing everyone in the class spout the same drivel because they have an utter lack of critical thinking skills and life experience. Having a discussion in this class is like trying to debate new goth versus old with a preppy high-schooler. It doesn't matter what words you use, the kid just doesn't have the life experience to understand what you're saying.
I'm a really tolerant person, but this class has pushed me past the edge of my boundaries and into anger. I know I'm not the smartest person ever, but these people make look like a gods-damned genius and it's pissing me off. Unlike lots of people, I don't enjoy being smarter than everyone around me, it's too damned boring.
I'm off to do more busy work for the sake of obtaining a degree, wish me luck.
