I understand why some of you are protesting the tuition increase. It is a significant increase in amount over a short span of time. Honestly, they should have slowly increased it over the last 15 years if that's what was in the plans. It would have made more sense. So yes, I get it, but here's what I don't understand:
1. Vandalizing. All you little shits tearing our city apart and messing with people's jobs, property, and lives, you're pathetic. You complain about paying all this extra money, yet you continually take away from the expenses of others. What makes you so much more important than everyone else?
2. Missing school. Why would you completely throw away a semester you paid for? That pretty much covers the increase you didn't want to pay in the first place. If you really couldn't afford the increase, you wouldn't have done that.
3. COMPARING YOURSELVES TO MINORITIES OF THE PAST. This is what pisses me off most: do NOT compare yourselves to the people who have struggled because of race, gender, or sexual orientation. What you're fighting for is nothing like what they fought for. They fought for freedom; for the rights to safety, education, for decent wages and shelter. They fought for their lives. Were you guys being physically beaten? Were you being told you were a sinner for just being a student? Were you refused jobs simply because you're a student? Were you being completely segregated and dominated. NO. No you weren't.
So just take a second and think. You're behaving like spoiled brats, throwing massive, destructive tantrums. You're giving Quebecers (especially students like me) a bad name. So stop. Stop messing with our city and stop messing with other people's lives. I understand the government is corrupt and also in the wrong in some parts, but in no way do I condone what is going on in our city.
