Modern Civics

I already offered it.Seriously, if you think you local voters aren't informed enough, then get off your lazy fucking ass and inform them. Do you think it would be appropriate for me to post a sign at the polls advertising my political philosophy? And I think that such a requirement is ridiculous.JonEdited by Jon, : coding

Well, that's demonstrably untrue. What about Jon? Unless you're talking about the trivial cases of children and foreigners this is also not true. There are countries where literally everyone else can vote (with the small exception of those recently convicted of electoral fraud).

I think folk railing against free democracy need to realize that just because a democracy is a free one, doesn't mean that every imaginable decision gets put to a public vote. As in our own democracy, for example, representatives, elected and not, make almost all of the decisions. Some localities and states differ, but for many, the number of decisions that actually get voted on by the people make up a very very slim minority of all the decisions that end up getting made.And I am actually in favor of limiting this even further.Jon

What on earth for? I think that we all should be able to decide by computer...since most of us now have one.

Huh? What is this a reply to? And how can all make a decision when only most have access to the tool necessary for making that decision?Jon

Well the process should not be limited soly to the computer. Or have public libraries where everyone can use a computer.

Certainly electronic versus paper is not the ultimate of discussions in terms of civics... is it?Jon

Happy Birthday guys. You are still remembered and loved in Virginia.

Cowards, all. In a just world every Confederate traitor would lie in an unmarked grave, these two monsters especially. The existence of even a single Confederate war memorial is an affront to any decent person.

LOL @ ignorant yankees

Fuckin' rednecks. Take down your stars and bars, get a job, quit fucking your cousins, and start brushing your teeth.Edited by crashfrog, : No reason given.

This isn't the way the three billy goats gruff handled a similar situation.

Your solution for making sure voters are aware of what the resolution they're voting on this year means, is to send all of them back to elementary school? Strange idea. I believe that's what I'm trying to do. Are you on the ballot? If so, sure, as long as your opponent has the same ability. If you're not, no, because it matters not a whit. Well, good, we agree on something.

Fixed that for ya!

thanks for proving my point, yankee.
