  1. If I could vote I would because I realize that if you want to change the world, then you get out and DO instead of lament the shortcomings of an imperfect society.

     

    PROBLEM: Voting is not (any longer) the act of "doing something". It is an act that makes evil men chuckle at you.

     

    1984 was not too crazy. We've lost a bunch of rights over the past few short years.

    And the plans on the table are dark indeed.

     

    Just ask people in Texas who tried to stop the super-highway. The newspapers there were of course in their favor... until a mystery donor helped an Australian company BUY up every paper... this of course led to the editorials then being in FAVOR of the super-highway and calling the opponents to it extremist kooks..I could go on, but we'd all be baking in political sauce.

     

    Just do your own searches. It's all out there. You should find yourself realizing what's really happening at this strange moment of our history.

    Why do all politicians have to be corrupt? Give me an instance in history when the voting of the American people did not change their country (for better or worse). When did it stop being an act of doing? I see no evidence of that.

     

    I'm not going any farther into political debate. I don't want to break any rules lol.

  2. If enough of you vote, even the severest bending of the truth, or voter fraud, or the electoral college, cannot cover an evidently overwhelming majority of people supporting a candidate.

    Ah, you mean like communities in Vermont and elsewhere around the country with dozens of Ron Paul bumperstickers on dozens of vehicles and signs on front lawns... ending up with ZERO votes recorded for him?

     

    "Whoever controls the information, controls the world."

    Obviously someone had a lot of energy to put up those signs and such. Ron Paul must have gotten at least a miniscule perecntage. Most people campaigning for an unlikely candidate are more active because they want to lose the sense of inevitability that the others have. It's not that it didn't make a difference.

     

    I bet all those people who voted for him made a huge difference to Ron Paul.

  3. It's obviously your choice whether or not to vote and I respect that. It's just that each time I see something like this, I remember all the people in the world who crave the chance that we have to vote. And all those who gave their lives for us to vote and we throw it away as if it means nothing.

     

    Voting means something. It changes worlds and futures. Just think, if a small percentage of people changed their vote the world would be different. Voting is there for a reason.

  4. You play Super Smash Bros.? Cool! I do, too, although I play Melee, since I do not have a Wii or Brawl, but Brawl looks pretty interesting and fun to play. Now you're instantly cooler in my eyes :P .

     

    -TNTOS-

    It's not much of an improvement from a competitive standpoint. Melee is still the better tourney game. Brawl is soooooo fun though.

     

    Smash Bros Rulez!!!!

    Heck yes it does!

  5. Man, that's all I do, politics, writing, BZP, and a little bit of smashbros here and there.

     

    McCain is my guy though I supported Romney in the primaries. I like Obama, I just don't agree with him.

     

    As to debates online. I'm sure that there a plenty of places somewhere where you can debat people. The problem is that the mods don't have that much time on their hands to spend monitoring a debate room. I think a better idea would be to have a special forums open only to memebers who pass a 'calmness' or 'not flaming' :P test by the mods.
