I am here. Address your comment to me. If you have an issue with me, say it to me. You gain nothing by stating it in a third person way. Is that supposed to be directed at nobody? Is it supposed to somehow avoid conflict because you are not talking directly to me? No. You're just doing it in a roundabout way to dodge the inevitability of addressing it to me. You have something to say in response to my comments, you can say it to me. Nobody is going to care if you're just talking to no one in specific. Furthermore, stating that my comment makes me look bad accomplishes nothing. In the time it took you to type that message, perhaps you should have presented logical evidence to suggest the contrary, rather than just stating an oversimplified analysis in third person. All your post really said was "Nu uh."

That being said, you blatantly stated that your vote does not count, and that puts you in the group with other people who say the same. One vote doesn't count, but thinking solely like that, completely neglecting the fact that there are 120 million others potentially thinking the same thing, is narrow minded. Nobody has any right to say their vote does not count, because in doing so, you contribute to the massive group of people also doing so, and as a collective unit, those votes do count. Thinking solely about yourself is narrow minded. Every vote counts. If you are not narrow minded, you would realize that one vote isn't the issue here, so you should not be presenting it as such. Unless you are in a district with no electoral votes (Spoilers: there are none), you have no right to say that at all, and doing so is incredibly ignorant. You have no excuse at all for not voting. If you aren't dead or mentally handicapped, you should be expected to vote. Your vote does matter. I don't know how you can argue your way out of being narrow-minded on this issue, when you're stating your vote does not count, which is an entirely narrow-minded premise, as I have explained twice now. I'm not questioning your character, I'm questioning your stance on the issue.

Age is irrelevant.

Tural usually doesn't come across as a nice guy, but he's also usually right.

Age makes no difference on this site. Often surprising to learn some of the koolest people here have been younger than me...Yet act older than me...lololololololololol

Tural acts about 8 but is probably about 30


>_> ;p

16 or 17, Tural, He kinda has the right to say that he doesnt want to vote or that he thinks his vote doesnt count. There really was no need to have us read a thesis statement like that, I mean if the guy doesnt want to vote then he doesnt got to, he shouldn't have to be questioned on it, I mean I can sit here and question you on why it is that you talk so sophisticated, and I can say "does it make your e-ego feel big", But I dont, Theres no reason to therefore I dont.

And on the other hand Turk there was no real need to instigate the situation by saying what you said about tural, he has the same right you do and thats the right to freedom of speech.

I think both were a little wrong in one sense or another.

out b4 tural analyzes my post and finds big words to win arguement.
I am asking politely to just read my input and not make a big deal about it

I swear the ending boss to Bullet Witch was designed by the devil himself. The demon at the end is such a bitch.

Real mature.
Also, once again, screaming 10 year old kids on Xbox Live.

Most fascinating... the posts in between this and my last one here.

The world has always had problems. Any one here know about the 70's (72 in particular). I suggest everyone should fill up more often, yes? Shit happens after all, the beauty (or horror) is the coping mechanism that follows.

Age is Nothing...most absolutely. Of this I could rant about to the absolute, but for now for reasons of my own I shall not.

Over all I must say I mostly agree with Tural in this matter, although there is more then one reason that turnouts are low (you come off so Insulating dear boy, you feel strongly on this of course, I don

Big words don't win the arguments, they just help solidify the win created by the comments. :wink:
