Speaking as a political science major, good God does this quote speak truth.
And on a bit more of a technical basis, I love the layout and especially the color combination - it's not one I see often, and it grabbed my attention right away.

I took an international politics course and got an A; I know nothing more now than I did before I took the class. Complete waste of time and money.

If it weren't for politics - and quite stupid instance of politics at that - he would never land on the moon and would not get a chance to have this pretentious epiphany. Love the design though.

It's also true that many useful things were invented during WWII, but that doesn't mean we should praise the war.
Thanks for loving the design though.

You don't stop wars from occurring by saying pretentious bullshit about politicians. Politicians are there because people have vital interests that often produce conflicts. Politicians are the ones we have to try and deal with these conflicts. It's childish to think that the conflicts would not be there had there been no politicians. It's like saying that without doctors there would be no diseases. There can be bad doctors and there can be bad politicians, it's a legitimate topic for discussion (if one wants to discuss these things). But that's not what he does - he is a soldier (because astronauts were elite soldiers) playing a key role in arms race, who suddenly becomes a pacifist on the orbit. He then fails to notice his crucial role in the problem he's describing (how much money it cost to put him on the moon, weren't there perhaps better things to do with the money) and blames "the petty politicians". And what does he come up with? A line from a cheap B-movie.

Don't worry, you'll grow up one day. Being a teenager who wants everyone to be happy and just be friends is in fact adorable. Just do your best to express your views in front of other like-minded teenagers. Otherwise it gets embarassing.

You mean more embarrassing than someone who constantly berates people and overuses the word pretentious?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I meant more embarrassing than that. In fact, studies by top scholars have shown that using the word 'pretentious' more than once in a discussion is not embarrassing at all. As for berating people: If you care to look at the conversation we've had, you'll see that first I made my point, then you misinterpreted it as an endorsement of warfare. I then elaborated on my point to explain the misunderstanding, to which your reply was 'whatever'. That is not a polite response to someone who has taken their time to make his point more clear.

Hah, you've got a real piece of work in your hands. At this point I believe there's an ignore function lying around somewhere.
By the way, I liked the poster when I first saw it as a DD. The typography works really well to leave an impact, and it looks neat and easy to read. It's a cool quote.

politics is for the bottom end
they don't look after freedom ov choice stuff
they don't tell you what movie to watch, music to listen too, stage or theater production to go and see
they don't even tell you to give to charity
that's why govt sends 13 times as much to war as people give to charity
freedom ov choice sector is for the open
being part ov the show, sharing with the global gene code is the best, just the best
govt is'nt there
somewhere you need to get up off the floor and have a look around
it's actually a pretty good place and getting better

I don't like politics either. Even if my country elects a new prime minister, I bet any of them would betray us.
