Did You Vote?

geetarman	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 10:11 AM I voted.
imemine	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 10:38 AM Yep, didn't seem to matter much though. I don’t live in Ohio.
Distilled1	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 11:13 AM
sinai	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 3:32 PM yep least i'm only gonna catch 1-2 more years of this shit and not all four
Cryxan	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 4:14 PM Yes, and I wore my "I Voted" sticker all day, too.
Izekial	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 6:07 PM I didn't, but my state turned up blue like I wanted anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered... actually, my bassist was saying it doesn't matter if you vote at all? He said the Electoral Votes are all that matter. Me: So... what you're telling me is that if all of Washington... and I mean ALL of Washington voted for Kerry, but four or five guys who are "special" vote for Bush, Bush win? Justin: Yeah... well, basically, something like that. Me: ... Justin: But it's important if you vote... or that's what they say. Me: ...
povertystricken	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 6:24 PM It is important to vote for house and senate, those are the "special guys". Not to mention local issues like I-892 (you know what I'm talkin about Izekial) Who do you think ponied up the 12mil for airtime against the slot machine initiative, it sure wasn't mothers who didn't want their kids to see gambling in bars. It was casino's and pull tab makers. You saw the ads, pretty dirty if you ask me. I don't even know if it passed, but I voted yes.
Izekial	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 7:42 PM Um... how about we murder our house and senate, or COUNT THEIR VOTES AS FUCKING EQUAL? The electoral votes make NO FUCKING SENSE. I'm just learning about this "politics" stuff, and it's just ass backwards. There'd be no more of this shit if I were President. Vote for me in 2015. No wars, better educational systems, nickel arcades, no guns, mass drugs and rocking, medical and environmental sciences funding, FAIR VOTING, tough laws on violence and stupidity, and boobies always win. Oh, and I'm bringing the ORIGINAL Transformer series back, Gawd dammit. No more confederate flags. In fact, no more flags period. Our foreign policies are completely fucked too. We need to set things straight with the rest of the world. I’ll have a huge party at the White House, and there will be hookers everywhere and we’ll all get laid and freebase all night long. Then we’ll all go on vacation and we’ll talk about love and peace. We’ll work together and there will be no secrets. If someone attacks us, I want approval from my allies to kick nine colors of shit out of our enemies, and if they want to help, I’ll hand them a gun, not tell them to bring their own. We will not force our policies and government practices on other people. It will be up to other third world countries to evolve. We will be self-sufficient in producing energy sources and resources (all types). We will still trade freely with the world, but no shady business. True freedom of religion. I believe in God, but I don’t expect you to believe in Him. Believe in whatever the hell you want, but be nice and don’t be an asshole. Gay marriages are legal. Popular sports will be replaced with off-road vehicle madness. I want explosions, but no death. I want sex, but no consequences. Someone find a fucking cure for AID and all that shit. No more fucking till I figure this out, then it’s bunny time. I’ll stress common sense and intelligence to the public. No more prescription drugs. If you were destined to die, or if you were stupid enough to put yourself in a position where you need something to live, you’re fucked. Sorry. People need to be responsible. No more petty suing if you spill a cup of coffee on your crouch. Anyone that tries to do that will be laughed at in public for a total of three days. Parents that teach their kids hate, fear and insecurities will be shot on sight with beanbag rounds. And back to war, when we’re done being at war, we’re done being at war. We don’t stick around and fuck things up worse. We’re going to try to rebuild the bridge, the communication. It’s the only thing we can do. Oh, and I’ll legalize cloning. That shit sounds cool. Abortions are legal, stem cell research will continue because it’s fucking awesome powerful kick ass shit, and people that can’t handle all these crazy freedoms I’m throwing at them will be deported. Can’t handle as in abusing them or going into a mental collapse over how great everything is. No one needs to thank me. You can hate me all you want. Vote me out of office, because guess what: I won’t manipulate the outcome on election day. Hell, I won’t even badmouth my opponent or make commercials. I’ll tell you what I’m going to do and I’ll do it the best I can. Vote for me in 2015... you sons of bitches.
povertystricken	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 8:06 PM Kudos...I don't agree with some of your ideas but that was one hell of a rant.
Izekial	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 8:18 PM What, you didn't like the idea about bringing back the original Transformers series? Well fuck.
DevonPowell	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 8:28 PM I'll vote for you in 2015... ...of course, there won't be an ELECTION that year (at least, not one for president).
povertystricken	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 9:24 PM First do away with the electoral college (let the majority of the population make the decisions, not the privledged few)Limit supreme court justice terms to two years (and have them voted for...not appointed)Keep the house and senate in place...but only allow equal numbers of each party in each branch. Throw in death row gladiator games on pay-per view (each week winners get a 1week stay of execution in the prison penthouse). Special red light districts for crack heads, junkies, and cranksters with inexpensive government supplied dope (televised like a reality show to give our kids an idea of how messed up a hard dope habbit really is).You have to allow pharmaseuticals (they are used for alot more than keeping the very old and sick alive with boners).Issue a full array of guns to every american the day they turn 18(if you're caught shamin' once you loose that privledge forever). That would be my local policy...(international policy is a whole different rant)
Gladariel	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 9:37 PM I voted for the first time in about 10 yrs. I just hope that those I voted for don.t disappoint me.but I know some will.
Izekial	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 9:41 PM Damn! Those are some bad ass ideas, and I accept the challenge to come up with some even more exciting developement. Will you be 35 by 2015? We should run against each other, but instead of people voting or some crap, we'll have a Keyboard Solo Battle of Death... with disco lights. Oh my God it's going to be awesome. Gotta have come bubbles and a roller skating ring, too.
Izekial	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 9:42 PM Some bubble, SOME bubbles. Not come bubbles. Nobody could skate if there were sticky come bubbles all over the place.
povertystricken	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 9:47 PM
moam	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 10:07 PM Vote for me... Izekial sucks. I don't know what I'm gonna do to be better than him, but I just know he sucks and I'm gonna make sure the knows he sucks by making NOTHING but commercials ONLY about how much he sucks. Vote for MOAM!!
cosmicearthgirl	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 10:08 PM And for a second I wondered where you'd get enough of that to make bubbles all over the place with, and then I realized I didn't want to know.
cosmicearthgirl	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 10:08 PM Oh, and I voted. Didn't help.
GTLive	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 10:50 PM Yes it did. It just didn't go the right way, because of bullshit in the system that goes back two hundred years. I swear I'm voting Whig party next time. This bipartisan thing exists only because everyone buys into it, and that's total No vote is a wasted vote and everyone who voted for Ralph Nader counts as much as those who voted for Kerry or Bush. Personally, I voted along a major party line but if Nader wasn't six thousand years old, I would have considered him for sure. Now that I think of it Ross Perot was a dinosaur when he ran too! What's up with that? That does it, 2008 I am running for President as an antipartisan candidate. Someone think of a name for my party quick!
Izekial	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 11:14 PM The Ninja Party, but you need to go to some random mountain in Japan and study ninjitsu really hard. I'm not going to vote for someone that can't do a sweet ninja flip. You should also be able to throw ninja stars while flipping. These are crucial details, sir. And don't listen to Moam! He's, like, totally sucky and stuff, and I totally don't pick my nose anymore, so ha!
GTLive	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 11:48 PM Sorry I could not resist! Osu! :ninja:" id="117059">Sorry I could not resist! Osu!
povertystricken	Date: November 3, 2004 @ 11:53 PM I know death row gladiator games may sound a bit harsh to some of you, but you have to consider the amount of money wasted on the appeals process with the present system. No more appeals for those sentanced to death, they can play the game (and try to prove how tough they are) or choose the gas chamber. Instantly america's worst criminals become an asset rather than a liability. I don't know about you... but I'd pay to see some Roman style gladiator games. And the red light dope districts may be hard for some to deal with also...but I look at it like a modern day solution to an age old problem. The chinese sucessfully did something very similar in the 17th century with opium dens, which nearly eradicated opium addiction in all of china. The hardcore addicts were able to go to the dens and sit and puff away for free until they died, all the while tour groups were able to take their children through the place and say "look, is that how you want to end up". It worked well. As for the guns, to me that is an all or nothing issue (and it's far too late for nothing, there's too many guns in this country to even try to take them all away) So everybody gets some. Use them responsibly, or loose the privledge forever. If you're caught with one after that, it's off to death row. Povertystricken is now accepting campaign contributions.
cosmicearthgirl	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 12:06 AM Sounds like the Running Man. I think my problem with giving everyone guns is that if someone doesn't use it responsibly, generally someone else dies. I agree with you on the red light drug district. I think making things legal frequently makes them less attractive. I found it really interesting that in Nevada, 1% of the votes were for "NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES" What do you think would happen if the whole country voted that way?
Izekial	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 12:30 AM See, my policies are much more sound. I'd also like to add that I'd get rid of cars and just build this giant rollercoaster that was connected to everywhere. It would travel at one hundred miles an hour and play "Barbie Girl" by Aqua really loud all the time. Are you guys writing this down? Our new National Anthem will be "Rock and Roll McDonalds" by Wesley Willis, and instead of physical education in schools we'd have ninjitsu. I like the red light drug district idea, but that was MY idea, which is clearly stated in paragraph one sentence seven of my Irrelevant Electoral Plan.
Woof	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 2:02 AM Yes I did. And I'd feel much worse tonight, if I hadn't. At least we tried...
GTLive	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 2:22 AM OK I'm convinced. It was the ninjitsu in schools that did it
geetarman	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 8:55 AM Electorial College = So much for higher learning! Total Campaign Costs = 1 Trillion Dollars Yearly Salary = $200,000 Why would somebody spend that much money for so little pay...
imemine	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 9:41 AM Being the most powerful Man in the World and able to attack and seize oil assets from whom ever you want-------- Priceless!
imemine	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 10:28 AM One Finger Victory Salute " id="117099">One Finger Victory Salute
povertystricken	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 4:32 PM overwhelmed by nausea...why did I look?
povertystricken	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 5:37 PM Anyone know how to convert a .swf to an .mpg or .avi? I can play it but I'd feel better about sharing it if it could be played as media not active content. Call me paranoid... who knows what could be lurking in that 196KB. Seems to be the same size zipped as unzipped
Thaspian	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 10:26 PM God damn that fucking image. He gave the finger. Who cares?! It wasn't even a heated arguement that it came up in, he was _joking_. If he wanted oil so badly, he'd go into Alaska and begin drilling there. Upsetting environmentalists is definately preferable to starting a war. Yet dare we go there - we'll disturb the moose's habitat.
povertystricken	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 10:42 PM what a funny joke Fu*k 49% of america. BTW Veritas and PGS are currently doing exploration on the north slope.
imemine	Date: November 4, 2004 @ 10:44 PM But this is our President Thaspian. Remember, the one with HIGH moral fortitude! Joking or not. This is a double standard my friend!!!! (standard Republican divide and conquer tactic.)Yes sir, praise the lord peoples and give them thyne finger. Satan---- book three, chapter eleven! Joking or not. And yes, Alaska is coming but it’s just too damn expensive to go there when you can steal it from a Middle Eastern country! He makes us proud that fine spoken –W-. Hail to the chief ---with a One Finger Salute! America----You have been duped!
Izekial	Date: November 5, 2004 @ 5:57 AM Yeah, but you could take all KINDS of footage of Bush being a fuckard and you'd still have the same impact: Killing people's brains. Bush actually has people around him that kiss his ass. That's what they do. Can we say Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain?
