Gay Rights
FOUND by Madie
in Saginaw, MI
This was found on a college campus outside my dorm. I can only hope that they lost this card after their presentation, as it looks like an opening statement.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
By far the most compelling argument I've heard all day. (college? really? pray for us in the hour of our need.)
But what about oppposite marriage?!
The captain beat me to it. College? Wow.
I hear to change your mind about gay rights.
Hmm. What if some of the people already believe as you do, or as you want them to? Do you want to change THEIR minds, too?
more and more becoming more..
How can they be able to spell comfortable, pursuit and happiness correctly, but not be able to spell AND, or know the difference between hear and here, there and their, and self and (them) selves?
I thought a 3rd grader was prepared to lecture his class - and impressed with his/her balls.
I really hope that wasn't written by a college student. If it was, I'm terrified for the state of the world in 10 years.
At least it's not written in txtspk.
Apart from that...eheu.
There hart is in the rite plays, butt the dilivury is flawd.
Thank any and all powers that be that my parents never owned a television while I was growing up (They still don't). I still prefer a good book to a good movie.
COLLEGE WTF?!
Oh my god, this person needs to go back to third grade.
I am glad to see that the stupidity of this find has more or less prevented any wank from developing. *breathes sigh of relief*
ooks at her with that stupid grin on his face and says, "Oh yeah; I was in a collage once. I was their trying to change peopl
Like, srsly, I was todaly convinsed this wz notes 4 a 7th grade speach clas.
But the backstory says it was found near a college dorm.
Oy.
@Blaze:
I feel like spelling and grammar are over-valued in comparison to tolerance. :)
My kids better qualify for a full college scholarship if this is who they are competing with.
I'm comfortable with "there self." It's "here self" I'm not so comfortable with.
Could be a student with a hearing loss. It's easy to mix up an/and when you can't hear it. I can't imagine someone starting a speech with "attention..." but in sign, it makes a little more sense. And the idioms are just so mixed up - like he's seen them used & gotten the meaning, but not the exact words.
I hope this is some dead-beat college and not a full-fledged university. If so, this guy is probably a grammar-god at his school. Come to think of it, he's probably getting some ass after this speech (and we all know which team he plays for).
Looks like Miss Michigan was much more prepared than Miss California if she had been asked the question about same sex marriage in the pageant. Too bad she lost her note cards when she visited that college in Saginaw...
Hear, hear! I'll drink to that!
A gay lifestyle is much more appealing than a depressed one.
Since this is a college campus, it could be a foreign student. Actually, I'm hoping this is a foreign student, otherwise I may cry.
Good Lord. I was ready to comment about how they're getting more and more serious in grade 5 classes. But college! Oy vey, our world is in a lot of trouble.
Just because it was found near a college dorm does not mean it was written by a college student. There MUST be a better explanation! (Please!)
I can't look at these finds anymore. Even the simplest tenets of the English language have gone straight to hell. It's too depressing.
Isn't it the pursuit of happyness? Bah. I was reading this book called The Discoverie of Witchcraft and couln't help but think about how the spelling would just give FOUNDIANS some violent fits.

If gay marriage does become legal
Will weddings all be more regal?
In this day and age
Gays are becoming engaged
And no one is shopping at Spiegel.
My apologies about the last line. I was stuck for a rhyme. The only other line involved Robert Segal, but that might have upset the NPR listeners.
It's the invasion of the gay body snatchers... where in the future everyone is gay and the species dies off...
I also love the postings where people do the - 'oh man what's the future hold for this world if this they way things are now' ....ahem the future is now - we're living it.
PS - We did not fall in the sewer yesterday. We fell in years and years ago... been there ever since.
Hiplainsdrifter, a certain percentage of the population would have to go up at least three flights to Get to the sewer.
This person that wrote this is feeling very liberated....These spontaneous postings you found are awesome! Love it...
Rebeka was visiting from Sweden for a college lecture on gay marriage. Her professor back in Sweden told her to take notes, so she diligently attempted to write every word. She got all of the words, but as she was only in English 202, her spelling and grammar probably weren't ideal.
Is this the College of English As A Second Language?
I have to agree with tasi- this seems like the writings of someone whose native language is ASL. The "attention" at the beginning seems to be the key ingredient.
Just one more reason why Grand Valley beats Saginaw Valley.
Honestly, don't you people get tired of making the same comments repeatedly?
Not really, no.
@ wishing I had ... no. It's only when someone makes the same comments repeatedly over and over again in a redundant, echo-like, and repetitive manner that we get tired.
That is, if it happens more than once.
I don't think this is an ASL or foreign student. I have tutored college level English for 2 years and have seen MANY writing samples very similar to this from hearing,native English speakers.The "attention" may be short for attention getter, which is a rhetorical device used at the beginning of a speech.
I don't know whether our schools are not teaching students correct English,or students are too lazy to learn,but there is no denying the fact that 1/3rd of our students take remedial courses in college!(source:Associated Press article found at http://www.wndu.com/education/headlines/28393084.ht
Alternatively,the writer may have been dyslexic,which would explain the confusing of idioms and misspellings
Cotton, you beat me to the Miss California joke!
