They never have a "none of the above" option on the ballot. Cuz that's my vote.

Because the lesser of two evils is still evil, and I don't want any more fucking evils.


-waiting for the whole damn system to implode.

Wow.  We sure have a lot of cool people here.

encouraging liars and cheats to lie and cheat aint my bag. That how I see voting and thats why I don't do it. Maybe it's different over there but in the uk its about power - they want your vote, they don't want to help make the country a better place, they want power and influence and it's written all over their fucking faces. We don't even have a 'lesser of 2 evils' option - its just cunts all the way down :evilmad:

Why, yes, they're all the same.  Enjoy your war.

This.

I have no problem encouraging liars and cheats, provided they are (theoretically) going to do less damage than the liars and cheats I'm not encouraging.

It's not our war, it's your war. Allow me to explain - some years ago America annexed the uk in some under the radar takeover bid. Basically, when it comes to foreign policy, we do whatever the king of amerikuh tells us. When the US world domination programme decides it wants iraq, who was the one guy in the fucking world who supported it? That's right - the talking head who 'runs' britain, who had to step off a plane, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, mumbling some incoherent garbage about WMD's and proof and shit then walking away before the rest of the universe pelted him with eggs.

Wouldn't matter which stooge I had voted for in the last election, the scenario would have been the same. I'm not allowed to vote in the US elections (the ones that actually affect me) so what's the fucking point.

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

I already won a war against your country, back in the - "we will treat any use 64bit encryption as an act of war" period of the early 90's.

A bunch of us started adding a 64bit encrypted text file in the game cracks we were distributing which declared war on america, with a closing date for US retaliation. So, technically, your government lost and we own your landmass now.

Still doesn't make me want to vote.

Rog, I understand the premise of voting. And I realize that I may be waiting a long fucking time for the system to implode. Or explode. But I'm sure as hell not in it to be cool.

It's not cool that the system is rigged. It's not cool that the people I would like to see in office, don't want to be there, or aren't fucking photogenic enough to get the monkey's votes. It's sure as hell not cool that a lot of people are more worried about what gender or race the candidate is, than what that canididate stands for.

I just don't see another option yet. Voting for the available candidates seems to just get more and more of the same. Not voting doesn't get me anywhere...it just allows me to say "I didn't vote for them". It's my way of not supporting the system. Maybe it doesn't do jack. But maybe this year, I'll go in and write "none of the above" on the ballot. Probably won't do much, but hey, I voted, right? :wink:

Of course not.  You're in to show that you aren't fooled.

Enjoy your cynicism.

And when McCain gets a few thousand more of our kids killed, you can comfort yourself that at least the other guy didn't sucker you.  I mean, why should you care about destroyed lives and crippled 18 year olds?  You're busy waiting for your perfect candidate, right?

At this point, I'd like to reiterate my initial paragraph.

You guys are so hip and so cool, it makes me want to puke all over you.

Gotcha.

So if I vote it'll bring them back to life?

Or are you saying if I'd voted for someone else they wouldn't have died?

US foreign policy created iraq, for shits, giggles or massive profit. How is my voting or not voting for which dickhead says 'yes' to america, going to save the world?

I'm done arguing about it, actually.  If you have no interest in who leads you and how, I will save my breath for the people who do.
