Stupid Things the Girl in Texas Government Says

So there's this girl in my Texas government class that is crazy annoying. Everyone has encountered one of these people during their academic career and I've discovered for some reason the college classes are worse when the number of students is around 140. It like increases the likelihood you'll have a loud retard in your class. These kind of people have an opinion about EVERYTHING. Even when they don't understand the topic. No, wait, ESPECIALLY when they don't understand the topic. They feel the need to comment on everything said. Even if it's not a discussion, they speak up. "There's no such thing as a stupid question." I beg to differ. Oh and  this girl smiles every time she interrupts the already slow progression of the class so I've taken the time to write down the stupid crap she says along with my notes. Onto quotes she has specifically said..

Now I first noticed how priceless some of these moments were after one day of talking about the controversial topic of abortion. Our teacher is off topic 50% of the time, but this time he was actually relating it to the Texas legislature cutting Planned Parenthood funds. Everyone but this girl agreed that it was a bad idea. In case you don't know, Texas is ranked number 3 in the nation for teen pregnancies. The reason why? The legislature has the same mentality this girl has. And I quote, "Well the simple solution is abstinence. Abstinence works. It works for me." And as she saying this, she turns in her seat to the whole class as if her morals are superior and we should follow her example. Now I don't think abstinence is a bad thing, I actually think it's awesome if you have that level self control, but who does this girl think she is? The way she said it just...the class erupted with noise and counterarguments immediately. It made me laugh.

Some of her other notable quotes:
"What if the candidate punches a baby?" Remember that thing about stupid questions? Well here's an example.

"Then I'm just stupid." Admitting it and then continuing to talk...sigh

The teacher asked the class what a tort was. Her response (of course she's the first to have an answer) "A short way to say tortoise?" HA. You are SO funny. Please quit college and become a comedian. Seriously. Please quit the class.

Talking about people who are trained in some form of fighting (once again not related to Texas gov) "You have to register your body as a deadly weapon."

And then today in class..."I don't have much of an opinion about it but.." and she continued to talk about her opinion that wasn't even present. Like she said after that she didn't really understand, but decided to tell everyone about her opinion on it anyway. She also includes personal stories and you know we all care so much. That's why we paid to take this class. To learn about her life.
