What if we just didn’t vote?

[Merciedez]

I mean the country seem so heated with all the voting rights of life, but there’s a strange realization that a vote IS my decision and my decision is my life??? I have no problem in grouping or gathering, but as it goes, times does change and to be limited by my decision in the past seem all too unpleasant to fix for my future. I thought life would just be easier not this complicated figures who hate us or approving “bills” I’m not even sure of doing. What if we just didn’t vote on the president or the government? What would they do? what if we just made our own city without letting them get throught. How could they handle such a rejection of our constitution? Is the world meant to vote on forever like this way? What if a city just didn’t vote, would the country find them terrorist or people to believe in something else, shouldn’t it be respected like my own life?

What if we just said we don’t want to vote now, we want to vote later? Must a deadline really be a dead decision to be paid for with the rest of our life? It’s becoming so complicated for any of our representative to know what to do. They’ve only provided us bits and pieces of why and who? I can’t believe these couple thousand people in this strange white building at DC think they could run a country of 295,734,134 citizens of just you and me. Doesn’t it seem so impossible? I really can’t believe it’s true. How many people do you think you can handle ruling and deciding for all these people on every aspect of their indecision? It will never make sense to me, to believe in a guy i can't talk so candidly in front of me.

Have we come to a fork? Have we come to point, we just accept these strangers to tell us what to do?

@ Merciedez

You'd sound more convincing if you even attempted to acknowledge the 50 state legislatures, as well as the countless city councils, and so on.

Anyhoo....


Like I said in the other thread, being mad that you, as an INDIVIDUAL, feel you don't get to select the president, is like being mad that you don't get to date the Head Cheerleader, or you as a worker don't get to pick your CEO. You have to start from the bottom.

Research your City Council. Go to some meet and greets. Work with children. Volunteer time. Donate money to charities. Watch as YOUR OWN stock rises. Then run for something.

.....Then listen close. Listen to all the little critters, scurrying around, talking shit about YOU. They will say that they too would volunteer time, but they "are busy working"

Mind you, you KNOW they're full of shit.....you KNOW they spend their weekends sitting on their ass, watching the games, drinking beer......but what can you do? Not much. YOU are the one out there persuing politics, and YOU are the one earning the trust of the COMMUNITY.......not THEM.



As far as the more philosophical angle, of getting thousands of people in a city to simply not vote--it wouldn't matter. If you don't VOTE, then yuo can't vote AGAINST something. So another city would just swoop in, incorporate your ass, and start raping you of everything, and you couldn't do a damn thing about it.

"Ideally", though, if reality didn't happen (didn't exist, to be more precise)......your individual morale still wouldn't matter. Americans all over understand that this country is what it is: The Greatest on the Planet, unless you want to learn a Scandanavian language or wear wooden shoes.

 

[Merciedez]

let's play a real game.

The government is gone. What, Oh what will the people do, now. what is the first thing you would do? where would you start?

 

[I. Cold]

^^you should read Cell.. stephen king's latest book. that kinda follows your "game"

no government = chaos = other countries trying to take over.

eventually there would be a split, there always is. and struggle for power. that would be inevitable. people are such savages though, I can see major cities being destroyed if there was no goverment or order. there would be no consequence. people would kill left and right. rape. theft. looting.

first thing Id do? get the fuck out the country. if I couldnt.. then Im hittin up the local gun store and getting and stockin up. prepare for war.

 

[DeceptaKhan]

the older i get the more im starting to think even voting is worthless,how do we REALLY know that there counting our votes for real

 

[PGBD]

The uninformed, the uneducated, and the unintelligent would do a great service to this country by taking themselves out of the voting process. So yeah, it would be grand if a lot of people stopped voting, just as it would be grand if a lot of people stopped procreating.

 

[Mi$ta-Murda187]

yeah mutha fuckaz are too horny...
thats fine..
but learn what birth control pills are mutha fuckaz!! lol

also... yea I don't know why so many people fall in love
and have kids... then they ruin their life by having to many kids...
and then overpopulate the planet.

 

[askG]

newsfalsh, you dont vote, well, you think you do, they just dont count it.

 

[Merciedez]

Our government/administration is based on the organization of the people's "secretaries" to provide the simple civil needs of ALL the people. Now, if the people have not yet understood this, then we have not given a damn where this country as gone. We've limited the people's ability to establish unlimited needs. The “government” was not based on popularity or a two party system. It was based on the understanding of the "PEOPLE" were able to have a line item of wishes, which eventually would be completed by the organized party/secretaries (a.k.a. "the government"). You could not choose one from another. THEY HAD TO ADHERE TO US not based on a "popular" vote. The government CAN'T choose one NEED from another. It’s a false pretense of this government and the many citizens of this country. It was to establish freedoms NOT limitations of individual lives and individual needs. When this government started establishing "who should get what" it actually meant you have agreed to a dictatorship or totalitarian control.

AND who ever said we could NOT have what we ALL want? Is our government our mommy and daddy? Are we not adults to be respected and understood to have power over ourselves and not have people run us the way they want?

PS….the word government is an idiot’s take on organization. I do not wish for anyone to govern me, I govern myself. I govern those people who think they can help me out. Like a contractor over a house project. Do you have the contractor tell you what you should have on your house or you tell them what you want on your house the way you want?

Government DEFINTION: Politics a group of people who have the power to make and enforce laws for a country or area.

CORRECTION: The PEOPLE make and enforce laws. The government only organizes it.

 

[Merciedez]

These bitch secretaries are starting to get on my nerve. They think they can run millions of people when they are only a couple thousands. anyone who have any understand of math knows this calculation is early impossible to govern.

For example: why all us argue with each other.

 

[HERESY]

^ is english your native language?

 

[Dirty Shoez]

^^ Lmao.




We argue because these days people think that LEADING BY COMMITTEE is the same thing as being a Leader. It's not and couldn't be further from the truth. So you have 2 sides cliquing up, and not really doing shit but agreeing with each other and clowning the other side. It is not enough and never will be. (Then you have the jackasses that refuse to pick a side, and just sit in the middle running their mouth. Thats another topic.)

It's not enough to sit around and complain about things, or propose radical solutions that are not going to happen. What matters is putting forth common-sense solutions that, over time, can accomplish actual objectives.

I can't get along with more than half of this board, because more than half this board, sadly, isn't about shit when it comes to politics. Most just want to ask dumbfuck rhetorical questions, bash Conservatives/the Government, and feel like they have a voice and that other people will validate their ideas. It's really a sad state of affairs.

I have this viewpoint that, if you agree with me 100%, I must be doing something terribly wrong. If someone agrees with me, in principle, even then I sit here wondering what their angle is, and trying to think of at least one facet that we don't agree on.

Everyone else is so radically different from ^^^^^, mostly commenting, not because its what they truly believe, but because they want so desperately for other people to feel the same way..........that I'm forced to argue.

You'll actually hear people make the argument, "Well, everyone else disagrees with you and hates you, so you must be wrong"....and it'd be sad if it wasn't so pathetic, and if they weren't being serious.
