Why does everybody always want to vote for some shit?
 
Are original ideas dead? have we forgotten how to solve our problems through our own hands? mother should I trust the government?

Becuz voting is freedom, a chance to be heard.

We can't be truly free until civilians can own active tanks, bazookas, F-16s, and other modern weaponry to be able to revolt incase the government gets out of hand.

The right to bear arms is a 2nd ammendment right that was made incase we need to pull a 1776 on our own gov't. How can we do that without modern weapons?

You forget that the people make up the army. If we truly wanted to revolt in the sense of a popular revolution (i.e. French Revolution), it would be relatively easy.

Guns are for the weak.

most of those people are too highly indoctrinated to do anything other than what they are told to do by their superiors. I'm not saying that this is a bad thing. how else can one allow themself to charge toward the mouth of death so willingly?

the sad thing is, that the rest of the people are too poorly trained to carry out any kind of organized actions.

I lived in LA during the riots, and the only thing I could think was "they're doing it wrong".

Not sure where you're from but in the United States we talk about voting because that is how representative democracies work, allegedly.

msnbc.com
He had thought he was doing a good and noble thing when he started telling the FBI about the guns and the land mines and the rocket-launchers — all of them being sold for cash, no receipts necessary, he said. He told a federal agent the buyers were Iraqi insurgents, American soldiers, State Department workers, and Iraqi embassy and ministry employees.
The seller, he claimed, was the Iraqi-owned company he worked for, Shield Group Security Co.
“It was a Wal-Mart for guns,” he says. “It was all illegal and everyone knew it.”
So Vance says he blew the whistle, supplying photos and documents and other intelligence to an FBI agent in his hometown of Chicago because he didn’t know whom to trust in Iraq.

From his presidentially-appointed post that voting had nothing to do with.




"Representative democracy"=Mob Rule.

Us folks on the fringes would be just as well off under a monarchist system, since any candidates I would actually want to vote for (as opposed to voting against someone worse) are pretty much completely unelectable.
