Title: Political ambitions
Post by: Lincoln on September 26, 2004, 09:27:05 PM
Does anyone on this forum have any actual political ambitions? I know I do.

Might seem strange, but ever since I was young I've envisioned myself as the Prime Minister. Yeah I know, sounds crazy. But I remember when I was 7 I watched Kim Campbell inaguarated as Canada's 19th PM with my Dad, and he said to me "That's you someday." And he mentioned it again a couple months back, just before the election was held. Anyways, might never happen but it's a nice goal.

Anyone else have political ambitions?

At this point in my life, no. Politics is a very dirty game that I wouldn't wanna get involved with. There's enough politics in life as it is.

I do , however, respect the people who get into politics for the RIGHT reasons.

Good luck though, Lincoln.

Years back, Tech envisioned a career of law school, followed by gettin involved in Canadian politics, advancing to ambassadorship and international diplomacy and chillax to a nice pension.

Tech now, envisions gettin my degree, fuck law school , travel the middle east, and get involved in Afghan politics. My callin in life is bigger than boring ass Canadian politics. Im determined to do whatever I can to help my country. The coup takes place in 2025. Techs callin it right now,

Political ambitions are nothing but power ambitions.  I have neither.

I dont know how it is in Canada, but in america there is only 1 way you'll ever come close to becoming a politician (especially president)



Money. Most of the time (most) you got to be a rich ass man to become president.

Well a local politician I know started off pretty middle class like me, and had the same plan I have to make money. Money's not hard to make but yeah, you do need money in politics.

There's no secret. Going to school, working your ass off. Basically that's all. I made more than twice of anyone else I know over the summer, sometimes at lesser pay, just because I worked my ass off. I worked hard and my boss rewarded me with more hours. I was pulling in 50-55 hours a week.

Once I finish school I can transfer my hard work ethic into owning several businesses of my own.
