gravityizsexy 0 #1 January 19, 2005 Is claiming a political party an excuse to beget hatred to fellow americans? I find commonly that when the subject of politics is brought up in a fairly social area, 9 times out of 10 the end result will wind up with someone refusing someone else because they'll wind up classified as a liberal or conservitive, totally dismissing facts. Facts build solutions to arguments, am I the only one who knows this? But what erks me is the level of disgust in someone's eyes of an opposing party. Truth be told, I vote democratic because my lifestyle needs change. If I were to vote republican, that would be saying that I am fine with everything as it is. But when I see people who cannot hold a job, can't feed their kids, can't pay their car note and are working like crazy to keep the wife happy, tell me their voting republican... I can't help to get upset at the ignorance, especially when they start getting mad, not just any ol' mad either, it's like I beat up this person's mother mad... what is this about??? Where does this ignorant republican loyalty stem from? and for the republicans.. do you ever get any similiar reactions from democrats? Why isn't the government doing more to educate the uneducated??? I think high schools should make a mandatory class to break down and disect at least 14 hours of C-SPAN. Can I get a witness???

gravityizsexy 0 #4 January 19, 2005 publicize itself through learning techniques.... pass a class to be eligble to vote... Granted, the information is out there, but what good does it do if nobody reads it. "'Someday is not a day in my week'" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydyvr 0 #5 January 19, 2005 Quotepass a class to be eligble to vote... Unfair! If we required people to pass a class before being allowed to vote, the dead bodies who usually vote democrat would be excluded because none of them has a car to get to school. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And to think, you were talking about ignorance in your original post. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gravityizsexy 0 #7 January 19, 2005 well apparently bearing arms is no longer a right either.... I'm also glad you brought that up because how is it that somebody with a criminal record have their voting RIGHTS revoked???

So your saying a majority of democrats are poor? Government funding would solve the car problem, with ease. hell, you can get a degree on-line. And your response brings me back to my initial point. Why would you say something like that? Why? "'Someday is not a day in my week'" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #9 January 19, 2005 Quotewell apparently bearing arms is no longer a right either.... There are other threads suitable for discussion about the right to KABA. I'm curious though, are you suggesting that since the right to KABA is being eroded that we should use that an excuse, take it as an OK, to erode other rights? QuoteI'm also glad you brought that up because how is it that somebody with a criminal record have their voting RIGHTS revoked??? Those who commit felonies can be disfranchised, essentially losing certain rights, as they have demonstrated that they cannot be trusted with them. With the exception of firearms, the right to vote, or rather the loss of the right to vote after being convicted of a felony is a state by state issue. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

We've been tearing at rights so much it almost seems legal to do so.

With the exception of firearms, the right to vote, or rather the loss of the right to vote after being convicted of a felony is a state by state issue. If it can be taken away from you, it is not a right. I mean, how can you tell somebody they cannot be trusted to vote? Jail time... fine! Community service, even better. Voicing their opinions of where the country needs to be (voting) is no more harmful 17- yrs. and below voicing theirs. It's just more votes... I don't think that this being a state-by-state issue has anything to do with it. Im more concerned that it's happening. Can't really do anything about it, apparently this is the direction the US wishes to go. Im not really affected by this... but it is just something that I think about.
