<p>Every year I see the kids who take things seriously and give the long... boring Speeches LOSE. Our Class President Won Last Year just Singing a Song while the Smart Girl who took everything seriously LOST.
Would you vote for Someone Who just came up on stage with a huge Speech, like long pieces of paper going to the floor, but I just walk up to the Mic and I say "Jew?" (pointing to himself) Then immediately begin walking off stage with the Song "I Need a Jew" or "Money Money Money." If I was Running for Class Treasurer? I know they might find it funny and they would Remember Me.</p>
<p>Why did you misuse capitalization?</p>
<p>I don’t vote for school elections, but if I did I’d vote for those who took it seriously. Although, we don’t have any one here does, IE, why I don’t vote.</p>
<p>See I want to take it seriously, but I don’t want to lose lol. Maybe if I’m lucky I’ll run unopposed.</p>
<p>see, if you’re running unopposed, id rather vote for the school mascot.</p>
<p>if you wanna win, why don’t you tune down the whole “stuck-up-brat-who-can’t-keep-his-mouth-shut” bit.</p>
<p>unfortunately (or fortunately), that might not get you the win, anyways.</p>
<p>quit your resume padding, stffu, and go do something legitimate.</p>
<p>Lol can’t wait until Sept. of next year!</p>
<p>I take pity on your school’s SGA. i truly do.</p>
<p>That’s actually pretty funny, I have to admit. But instead of just doing that, I’d maybe be serious at the beginning and give a good speech, then do the Jew bit at the end?</p>
<p>I would vote for you, no joke. That’s pretty funny.</p>
<p>When I was in 10th grade, a guy in my class (Jewish hah) was running for Grade 10 rep. He went on the announcements, said “Vote for me because I’m richer than all of you”. He didn’t win, but that was just condescending and kind of offensive.</p>
<p>at least think of something funnier.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s at all funny. Not at all. Awkward, yes. Funny, no. I don’t see how that approach would get you what you wanted. And that’s the nicest thing I can say about this idea.</p>
<p>You sound like Forrest Gump.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hmm…idk about that, I definitely take everything very seriously and have been class president for 5 out of the past 6 years (6,8,9,10,and recently reelected for 11, switched schools in 7th grade so I couldn’t run), people vote for me because I get stuff done (i.e. we’re the richest class in my school’s history), not because I’m willing to make a fool out of myself in front of 1000+ people…</p>
<p>I’d definitely vote for someone serious over someone who seems to be taking the whole election as a joke. (But a little humor here and there can’t hurt, I definitely employ very corny humor in my campaigns)</p>
<p>yeah don’t listen to people on here
these people are like the top five percent of the school on this site
intelligence is inversely proportional to a sense of humor</p>
<p>i say you would win by a landslide, but you would really really really really really **** off the person running against you</p>
<p>i’d vote for you</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Definitely makes me wonder.</p>
<p>I think it’s okay to use self-deprecating humor about your own group when you’re within your own group. Or, if you’re in a comedy club, where people have the expectation that you’re going to be outrageous. But in an official kind of setting where people feel compelled to be there, it’s probably a good idea to stay away from mocking yourself by your ethnicity. How do you think other Jews in your class would feel? If other people laugh because you’re pointing to yourself as a Jew, it may really wound them, because they may not think that’s such a laughable quality. There are many funny things to say–but that’s not really one of them.</p>
<p>I think that the jew thing is highly offensive… I am Jewish and would personally would want to walk out if someone did that at my school and I would probably never talk to the person again. Please don’t perpetuate stereotypes. How could you say something so offensive against your own people? I can’t stand it, I absolutely can’t. That is how the holocaust happened.</p>
<p>You can find another way to win, like with a speech describing why it is a bad idea to vote for someone who sings songs. That is what I did. Say something like ‘maybe some of my opponents will entertain you for a few minutes, but how entertained will you be when the dances and events are lame’. Then, luckily, as predicted, my main opponent got up there and started singing. It was great.</p>
<p>Maybe I’ll just do a serious speech…</p>
<p>or Not. Not sure.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are you serious…</p>
<p>I’m starting to make the video for the campaign, already 46 seconds done… So I’m guessing the Jewish thing shouldn’t be brought out to attention, but for the speech or video should I mention being good with money is in my genes?</p>
