Be president of Clubs

[anotherlaujgirl]

It gets crazy.

I'm president of 1 club, vp one, and secretary of another. I'm fine with it.

BUt sometimes i just find it really unfair how many of the students in the clubs, will go to the
events that the club holds, but won't help. -_____-

Sounds like the new socialist/liberal way.  "I am part of something and expect the rewards of it, just don't you dare expect me to have to actually contribute something to it though...".  That is a big problem within the US now with the government handouts and entitlements and calling damned near everything a 'right' and PC crap and trophies and prizes for losers and  such nonsense, etc.  Most of those types of people -- if you stuck them in the middle of a large unpopulated forest or desert island -- would die within 24 hours probably, even though they should be able to survive much longer than that without food/drink.

Been there and done that. It is like pulling teeth out of a walrus sometimes. Yet on some of the clubs when it got right down toputting together a show a lot would show up to help set up. They just don't want o have to mess with all that goes on before hand. It can get upsetting. Just hang in there and they usually come around.

You don't know squat about socialism, huh?

Why do you want to know, seeing as your question has absolutely nothing at all to do with my statement?  You really do possess poor comprehension skills, or probably more precisely you actively look for confrontation of a sort you think you can manage wherever you imagine you find it.

I hear ya. I was in Yearbook club back in HS for 2 years. It started off with 8 or 9 people, but then dwindled down to me and one of my friends after a month. We ended up doing like 70% of the work. Although one person had an excuse since they had Bball practice and their schedule got mixed. Of course at the end of the year everyone came and got their picture taken for the yearbook, even though my friend and I were the major contributors. It happens. Atleast I got to put it on some college apps and the teacher running it said he'd give us recommendations if needed. Focus on the good!

Your response was a humorous play on words, however.

Oh wow! I didn't even realize that! HA! However for it to be accurate, I suppose I should have said 'right field'?

I have been in your shoes on many occasions. You are volunteering your time to do good things and you ARE making them happen. The rest of them, unless they prefer to lie to themselves, are following you, but never reaching that destination of feeling good about doing for others. Be who YOU are because you sound like a wonderful young woman.

That quote above hangs in my office at the hospital and is one I include in packets for my volunteers in the neo-natal/pediatric oncology program. Many people give large donations of $$$, which is fantastic in itself, but it is the people who are willing to come in and comfort, rock the babies, read to 'my' kids, etc. that make an impact far larger than they could ever imagine.

Possibly so but, he said write "socialist/liberal", (presumably 'left-field'), and that comment could be construed as "coming out of right-field".  Hence the double-play on words and two outs, with a man on third.

I really dont care whether I know or not, and my question has every thing to do with your statement, Gumby.....it illustrates once again, how you come running your head in here acting as if you are some expert, when in fact you don't have a clue WTH you are talking about.

But please, go ahead and continue showing your ignorance and I will continue to point and LMAO.

I don't care what you do in front of your mirror so laugh all you want to.  If your question has anything at all to do with my statement I cannot discern it.  You asked me if I knew squat about socialism (why that interests you I don't know, but I would entertain you if you could clarify your reasons for needing my knowledge on the subject) and you then accuse me of making statements from authority, and then you accuse me of being ignorant.  You leave an odd narrative there that is disjoined from anything presented.

Someone started a thread and I participated and gave my reasoning as to why people are like this.  You have contributed in no way and instead you go on a warpath against me, again, for no reason other than your own admitted insecurities.  Well if I am Gumby, dammit, then you can suck on the green!

**Stands, raises hand and clears throat** Mr. Abrupt, Sir......would you be so generous as to describe to us exactly what socialism is, please Sir? **Sits back down and politely awaits Mr. Abrupts answer**
