If voting is a right why can’t everyone vote? Why do you have to be 18 years old?

I think the point is that the way the constitution was originally written that voting wasn’t a right, and that there are too many people in this country that take these so called rights for granted.

That a lot of what people in this country consider a right is really and concession entitlement.

If voting actually mattered I would agree; however, it is electoral votes that count. Why do candidates spend so much time in the big states? It is because they want the most electoral votes. Like I posted earlier 99.99% of your state can vote republican and the electoral votes can go to the democratic candidate. If the popular vote was all we had I would be more inclined to take voting over gun ownership, but it would still be a close one. Espcially when so many uninformed voters vote. [/quote]

Yepp understand, completely agree with the popular vote concensus, so every year when you register, you give your social, take a quick exam to make sure actually know what the president is and how are our government works, all gets linked to your social in one large database.

then when you go vote you give your social and provide ID and everything is stored in one central database with necessary backups.

So you think that PWI should be purged just because opinions are espoused which you do not agree with? WTF!

Talk about intolerance of opinion.

Hey really good point, a large misinformed body of people already elected obuma. How much worse could we get if 10 year olds voted?

Yeah, really good point. They’re nowhere near as informed as those of us here in PWI are. They probably don’t even know that Obama’s wife “hates whites” or that he’s involved with the Muslim president of Kenya.

Yes, but how many of them will vote for something just as stupid like McCain?s favorite color. Point is they are American citizens too if knowledge on the issue’s isn’t required why can’t they vote. Hell kids are more impartial when it comes to discrimination and race then any other group of people.

I am a firm believe you learn to be racist your not born that way. So why not let them vote for the candidate they think is best dressed or has the same favorite color. It’s just as dumb as voting because you don’t like white people or you hate democrats.

No man, I think there should be tests and other requirements in order to vote. Hell, personally I’d like to see people who couldn’t get, say, over a 650, 650, 5.5 on the GRE or similar test.

Can people in DC score that high?[/quote]

A lot of us scored much higher. Let’s enact this law now!

yeah buddy…you took the words right out of my mouth. :\

So saying a man shouldn’t be judged before actually serving a term is intolerance of opinion? Way to pick and choose from that post to suit YOUR intolerance of opinion. Thanks for another example of why I made that comment in the first place…whining bastards.

He got elected because Republicans protested, and the Democrat party could count on the black and hispanic vote. The GoP is a white guy’s party, thus doomed for extinction.

He may not have served as the president yet, but he has served at least a little bit in Illinois. I can’t speak for everyone, but I base my comments and opinions on his record in Illinois. That is why I comment generally negatively on his stance.

Maybe so…but I still stand by what I said in that entire post. People should stop whining about how he won the election…and save that energy for when he actually serves a term and actually does something.

Maybe you shouldn’t be whining about his whining about your whining. And I shouldn’t be whining about your whining about his whining about your whining. Hah! I headed that off, and beat everyone to a response against me.

I agree[/quote]

Yes I think we should just do our part to try to keep the country on track no matter who is in office,

but the problem becomes that if people don’t whine, no one knows something is wrong until it is too late.

We all don’t live in the same area or face the same obstacles so if no one voices an opinion no one knows.

Ok not knocking you Prof X, but how he does bring up race a lot and intolerance it does remind some of us who don’t experience on a daily basis that it is still a problem in areas. And you know what there are some areas where things may be less of a problem.

So he also needs to understand how some of us might not realize why he is so adamant. Because some of may live in areas that are very integrated, equal and welcoming in those aspects.

I thought he WAS the Muslim president of Kenya! Hillary is OUR president:

"It seems, however, that the Obama team is doing so big time. Looking at lists of early appointees for the transition period and the administration to come, from Rahm Emanuel on down, you might be forgiven for concluding that Hillary had been elected president in 2008. Clintonistas are just piling up in the prospective corridors of power.

You might also be forgiven for concluding that just about no one else in America had ever had any “experience.”
