Well, no shit. Thanks CNN - Voting derail

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Sandinista, where did you get that strawman from? "If you vote you won't get fucked over"? Ian said nothing of the sort.

His posts make less sense than mine, so you might as well give up on the inquiries.

How so? Generally pretty sensible I figure. What makes no sense?

Yer whiney attitude.

Not MY fault.

[sandinista]

Yes, ALL your fault.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Yes, ALL your fault.

So, I'm responsible for you?

Grounds for suicide.

[sandinista]

Oh no...weren't you the one trying to hook up with me for a little man love? Now you're killing yourself over me?

Topic split for voting derail discussion. Uhm...guys...I may have somehow lost a post or two in the process...

There were 68 posts before you split the thread. When you had done, there were 53, so you lost up to 15, including one of Ian's in which he is alleged to have said "vote and you won't get fucked over", which he did not. O well, we get what we pay for. :sighsm:

[Cunt]

Ever hear that crap about "if you don't vote you can't complain"?

Fuck that. If you voted - you already HAD your say. I haven't cast my vote so I am going to bitch all I want.

Yeah, I tend to fuck up everything I touch, don't I? I should probably resign or at least just sit on my hands and do nothing. Thanks for making that clear.

More or less... If I didn't vote, I can start by bitching about all the candidates being rotten corrupt nincompoops, non of them less horrid than the others enough to deserve my casting a ballot for him so as to try and block the others.

After that, I can bitch all I want about what horrors the officials are committing and the bunch of morons that voted them in

Where you have no right to complain is when you actually voted in the guy that got elected, and he fucks you over anyway.

[sandinista]

yep..but any idiot can understand that.

No, you don't and No, you shouldn't.

Actually, if you are wondering what 'any idiot' can understand, it's that shirking your duty as a voting citizen is going to mean you get what you want from government less often.

I was kidding earlier. I thought someone would catch that I was parroting a skit by George Carlin.

Get working in government or fucking like what you get. Bitching without getting involved is a lot like a twenty-something who still eats at his parents table while bitching about the food they provide.

You must be kidding again. "Your duty as a voting citizen". Come on. Duty? Duty to vote for someone who does not represent you. Do you really believe that the only way "to get what you want " is to work in government? I won't even get into how wrong that is. Your analogy is bullshit. For one, "bitching"?? Really, now calls for social change are referred to (by you) as "bitching". Ridiculous. Secondly, to compare the government to ones parents says alot about your politics.
