| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01  | The reason why there are no third party canidates out there is becuase of attitudes like you. The two major parties are hoping for you to ignorant so they stay in power. You have to crawl before you walk, right? So you can't hope for some crazy thrid party win right away. You have to give them enough percentage so they can get matching funds. That right now is the key to the elections. If you can get i think 5 % of the vote, then you can get matching funds from the government. Once you get matching funds, then you can hope for a quality campign by the third party canidate. I knew that Gore would carry this state in the Presidental election, so I voted for Nader in hopes that he could get that magical 5%. Perot accomplished this, but the reform party blew it by putting Buchanan in that role. If Nadar had the money that Buchanan wasted, Nadar would have a good chance in becoming President.  | ||||

But don't say that I'm a part of the problem because I don't vote. I feel that my vote for nobody is better than an unfounded vote for anyone. As for my calling names... you're a stink-butt too. :p Debating politics on the Internet... well, I think we've all seen grumpy's sig about arguing on the Internet... Go educate someone else about the benefits of participating in politices, I'm a lost cause.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Hey Kid...just an idea....perhaps you should stop complaining about the system and actually become active within it to see some of your ideas conceptualized. By not voting all you are doing is not allowing your voice to be heard. Will the candidate you voted for always win? Of course not, but at least you voted for who best represented your mindset.  i can't believe my dream is over i woke up this morning with nothing but light in my eyes now i'm one with the fools of love Psst...I know...you don't have to wear a dress anymore...but I still think there might be other things I want that I can have... ;) USA | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | quote: George Carlin is running for office? That's the problem. Nobody is crazy enough to put someone with original thought in a position to be elected in the first place. Why do you think we end up with such shitty choices? **EDIT** quote: dude, you have no clue. There is a passage in the bible that I am too lazy to look up, but it goes something like: ...grant me the courage to change the things I can the serenity to accept the things I can't and the wisdom to know the difference. Very fitting for this situation. I am not a civil leader, I just don't care enough. I live here, I'm fine with it. But, you won't see me flying a flag, no matter how many of you other fucking sheep do it. You won't see me voting because I don't believe in the system. Why? Maybe it stems from the fact that the government ruling this country was founded on the idea that all [rich, white] "men" (no "colored folk" or women) are created equal... Go ahead, vote. It's your right, just as it's my right to NOT vote.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | I must admit it I am kinda with kid on this one. I can't remember the last time I voted and felt really good about the name on the lever. With a two party system I feel the parties know they have the power and there is no need for them to change. Both parties know the power balance will always be roughly 50-50 so there is no clear incentive for them to change. However, when I read FMFB's post and look at her sig it does sway me to her mindset. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Apr. 01 | quote: because the same people vote every time and they vote for the same type of person every time. the parties are catering to those voters because they know they dont have to worry about the self righteous people who bitch about the system and then choose not to vote out of protest. your vote is your voice in your government. you dont vote, you have no voice, and will therefore be deservedly ignored.

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | I wish I was ignored by government. But unfortunatley, I live in this country, and have to obide by its rules. I pay taxes, because I have to, not because I want to. I don't vote because I can choose not to do so.

That is not only unpatriotic, it is profoundly sad that you choose killing a man over enlightening him. Now, the board can see you for what you are. And yes Faceman, he did this to get a response from me. That is obvious. Well, the response was made. Now he can go throw himself a party. ;)  This message was edited by njstrawberry on 11-6-01 @ 2:40 PM | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | quote: What more proof do you need than a presidential candidate claiming to have invented the Internet? quote: You stupid friggin' twat. Do you think that I would actually condone people going out and killing politicians? I stated in an earlier post that I posted this thread mostly tongue-in-cheek. As for the board seeing me for what I truly am... I don't think it's any big secret that I am an instigator. I posted this thread in order to state my opinion about a topic that you brought to the forefront. A topic that you hold very dear to your heart, and yet you are only able to regurgitate mindless drivle about it. See I was respecting our agreement to not respond to one another on the board. But, you couldn't hold true to that, could you? I posted my opinion here, and fully expected to be run through the mud by sheep like you because of it. Just as you should've expected that when you spammed the board with your party's propaganda, that you would receive responses of the like.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | I think this is getting blown out of proportion. If you dont vote, you have no say, and if you understand that, and have no problem with that, then thats fine. Thats your choice. Simple enough. I agree with that, I would rather not make a choice when I dont agree with either of the candidates, which I usually dont. My last vote was for Clinton. And he was the last candidate I agreed with.

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | quote: You people say that my not voting causes things to be the way they are. And that I can't change anything by not voting. Well, to you, I say you VOTE, and things aren't changing. So obviously you are happy with things the way they are. You like the laws and policies of our country, and for that, I'm happy for you. I suppose I would like them too, if they catered to me. But they don't. So, I choose to make my protest silent. It is my choice. Damn you all for saying that I am the cause of the problem because I don't come out against it. Maybe, just maybe, I realize that I alone cannot make the changes. The world has been around along time before me, and it will go on long after I pass. I'm complacent enough to let somethings slide. I know that the figurehead politicians that you vote for don't really amount to a hill of beans when you boil it down, and thusly, I DON'T CARE. As for my character and determination... maybe I just have the intelligence to accept the idea that this world is not made for me and will not ever cater to my wishes, no matter how prolific. quote: Hmmmmm, twisting things so they appear in your favor... that's so unlike a poLIEtician. Again, I posted this thread as a response to a topic you brought up, not in response to your post in particular. Twist it anyway you want, then turn it sideways and cram it up your funhouse mirror ass.

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | quote: Thats right, and if your motivation to organize was as strong as your motivation to agitate maybe you could influence people who share your views to form a strong coalition that could put a candidate you could all be happy with in place. But that would be too "sheeplike", wouldn't it? The very nature of electing a candidate forces one to lose some sense of independence since you are joining a mass of people who support the same person. By voting for them you take their entire platform whether you agree with every stand or not (if they even wind up living up to those promises). I think its more a matter of not wanting to assimilate rather than a feeling of not effecting the election. The only way to truly make a difference is to not only vote, but encourage others to vote the same way for your candidate. ________________  Read Me On Foundry | Listen To Me On RonFez.net Radio | AIM Me | E-Mail Me Support Firemen, Red Cross, United Way, Salvation Army, and everyone else helping restore peace.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: To be honest, I don't agree with most of the laws and policies of this country, but I still vote. I don't vote because I feel that my one vote will change things, but I vote because I feel that if I don't vote I shouldn't be complaining about things I've done nothing to change. Maybe that is disillusioned of me, but I would rather feel the way I do, than feel as beaten down as you apparently do. quote: You know what? You are right, most people are not going to want to listen to you...not because you are wrong, but because they do not want to encounter and accept their own ignorance and limitations. There have been many great people who have died because their views were drastically different than the masses, but those men are the ones that we learn about years and years later and grow to admire... You'll never know what people will think of your ideas unless you get them out there...I am not saying you should run for office, but someone like you who appears to be so full of opinions should not waste them simply on the internet... i can't believe my dream is over i woke up this morning with nothing but light in my eyes now i'm one with the fools of love Psst...I know...you don't have to wear a dress anymore...but I still think there might be other things I want that I can have... ;) USA | ||||

If you want to take credit for creating that topic then go right ahead. Bottom line, I didn't reply to your thread, you DID reply to mine. You played right into my hands, and you think you are in control here. Well, it's not unlike you to be delusional. Afterall, you think you're hot. That burning sensation is most likely a disease, and has nothing to do with your looks, or lack thereof.
