Actually, I think Dana and Sundae cover it best.

I'll agree with that.

When you start limiting voting rights because you don't think someone "knows enough" you are using subjective criteria which goes completely against the principles this country was supposed to be founded upon.

Who makes that call?

Seriously disturbing. I find that this concept makes me more frightened even than I am apparently supposed to be at the word "socialist" which has been tossed around like some political hacky sack.

1) I am NOT trying to stop anyone from voting - I really think you are all missing what I am trying to say. Everyone should has the right to vote EVERY-FUCKING-ONE. (except felons and such)
That part clear? I hope so.

2) Everyone should vote EVERY-FUCKING-ONE.

What I do not think is right nor fair or just is people and/or organizations with political agendas, funded by MY TAX DOLLARS, going out onto the street and registering any & everyone they can find, dig up or wake up just to support their political views and to skew election results. No I do not believe in that - that is all.

Classic...organizations like Acorn offer assistance to people who wouldn't ordinarily be able to perform the task themselves. Your reaction to this seems to be a direct result of the skewed reporting on Acorns true function. Try reading some articles that actually show a more favorable light on Acorn and see what you think.

I've read plenty, thanks. I simply disagree with these organizations using my tax dollars to propagate their agenda. There should be a more unbiased nonpartisan way.

SG - Please do NOT bring race into this, in fact you are completely wrong about what I am saying and what I believe.

I apologise if it appeared the comment about blacks was aimed at you. I was in fact referring to the fact that the Founding Fathers owned slaves.

No prob - Pigpile is a fun game to play ... except when you are the wabbit.

Have you any idea how many returning soldiers are living rough, on the streets of America's cities? One estimate I heard recently said about 150,000.

Higher than that! Not just returning soldiers but vets of all wars. It's appalling, but these guys have the same mental illness and/or substance abuse rates that most homeless suffer from.

It could be that historically, otherwise unemployable people went into the military, though that's not as true as it once was.

I thought that's why women weren't allowed to vote until recently.

Shawnee123 · 10-23-2008, 11:04 AM

Well, we need to discriminate against the right people. Women can't be trusted, you know how emotional they are: kind of throws informed voting out the window.

I really need you to clarify yourself a bit better than that. I am not going to guess at the connections you are making. Please spell them out.
