Should everyone be allowed to vote???

[Mels_Smileys45]

I think everyone should have the opportunity to vote but I think there should be some stipulations other than the ones already in place.


1) one must take an IQ test and score over a 90

2) one must take a test to evaluate if they know the political issues of the day

3) they must know each candidates stance on the political issues.


If they do not pass these tests I feel they do not need to vote. Stupid people voting for moronic reasons makes me want to scream. When I hear people say they only vote republican or I only vote Democrat I want to call them an idiot. I know this post might piss some people off but please think about it. We all should vote for the BEST person for the job not the person who belongs to the party we like the best. That very reason is why we have a retard in the white house right now. A freaking C student, who I wouldnt trust to change a light bulb, controls the most powerful military force in the world. NOT good!

When I see these ads with people like P diddyshimself saying rock the vote and whatnot I have no doubt how this country came to be run by an idiot. When you encourage idiots to go out and use their vote without having a clue if they know anything about politics youre being irresponsible.


I know people who vote for candidates simply because of who their parants are voting for. This shit must stop! Its time to take the right to vote away from the simpletons!

well firstly, voting day should be a national holiday.

Secondly, for better or worse, stupidity doesnt make people less of a citizen.

I didnt say it made them less of a person or anything like that. It does make them unfit to make judgements that could effect the entire world. Im not trying to degrade the tards but we must somehow come up with a way to refine the process. We are passed the point of saying "oh well, fuck it. Even tards have the right to decide our fate". We have to act responsibly and let the best minds choose the leadership of our nation. People who do not know anything about politics and nothing about who they are voting for other than what party they belong to are going to be our doom and perhap get millions of others killed along the way.


I wouldnt let a tard operate on me and we shouldnt let them decide who gets access to the button. Its only good common sense. If you dont know all the issues and the stance of the person you are voting for on those issues you should know about then you should not feel an obligation to vote simply because you have the right. People who do this are not only dumb, theyre a danger to the world. Stop, think and do the right thing. If you don't know, do some research. If you can't understand the issues at hand, DONT VOTE! If you dont have time to read and decide who best supports the issues you agree with then DONT VOTE!

If we can not trust people to do these things then we need to test them on the issues and weed out the people who do not know who and what they are voting on.

How about #4. Be able to read and write in English ?

Hey Don, long time no see. Thats a no brainer but does that make them any less of a person? lol

i like the national holiday idea. im sure a lot of smarter people would vote if they had the time/energy from not working that day. im sure a lot of dumber people would vote too though...

for me though, i dont vote. there have been a few times i have been compelled to register, but i dont feel anymore that its worth the effort. on top of that, i dont even think i get a choice in the matter at all. you get 2 cannidates that are pre-selected for you. They are usually chosen for reasons and by people that you wouldnt agree with either. there is no option C, only A and B. then after all this, i remember that if i even register to vote, i can be called for jury duty. that may not be a bad thing, but i dont want to do it.

edit: as for the poll, im leaning towards the "pussies" option. and mel should not be allowed to vote because he is too dumb to spell "should" correctly.

Lol! I didnt even notice that! One day I will have to start using a spell checker because my spelling is really bad. BTW, I didnt vote. Also I do not vote in elections myself because I do not research the issues enough to make an intelligent decision. I have thought about voting a few times but never followed through with it. Voting for the sake of voting when you do not know the candidates past and how they stand on important issues is for people who cant spell should.....


BTW, I spelled it right on the thread title but did a typo on the poll form. I am deeply sorry for the confusion and I will try and do better in my next life.

We all should vote for the BEST person for the job...

Agreed.

...not the person who belongs to the party we like the best.

Agreed.

That very reason is why we have a retard in the white house right now.

Must disagree...

More than a couple of Texans do not believe (key word) Bush won the first election (or the second for that matter). During the first, we were told the votes were in...

"er...um... DOH! Sorry! No they're not!" (CNN).

Conveniently for him, all of the sudden and out of the blue (I feared profuse, projectile vomiting was imminent at this point) , the vote was "rocked" by his middle sibling's (Jeb) state (FL).

IMHO, that election was bought and paid for, most likely by the the elder idiot (Bush), Skull and Bones, the "enlightened ones" (NWO. The Illuminati? Who knows), SOMEBODY. Why the hell they thought this a sound decision, is beyond many.

Wonder who they will pick next. Let's hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Agreed, dam*it.

Thats a whole different topic but I will agree, I do not trust the voting system anymore either. There was some people looking inot this but they seem to have vanished off the face of the Earth. How can we know if we really have the Prez who actually won anymore?



BTW, who likes my new avatar?

[HelenaP]

I wouldn't say it a different topic since you stated-

That very reason is why we have a retard in the white house right now.

I only felt it my duty to help clarify and point a few folks along the path of Nirvana. LOL!

Now about your avatar;
Since I am fixing to post about a most touchy subject over here, and get the neg rep slammed on me (which will bring the miraculous 577 points I accrued this morning, down), AND since I am horribly and unspeakably worried about how many of these dearest points I have (LOL!), I will say to you,

"Wow, Mels! Quiet a visually stimulating avatar! Would you please find one as tasty for me?"

IF...

you will slam me further down in rep points, so that the people I will be aiming to "help", will feel someone among them is speaking to them (as opposed to it sounding as if coming from someone "better than" they are)
It's the only kind thing to do for them. My sacrifice. Join the martyrdom.
Then perhaps they will find some "People Addicted to Reputation Points" recovery center/meeting, and/or stop slinging snot about theirs being in the red.

If you will do this (plus eliminate the one "needstobegone" person I spoke to you about in your other thread, which BTW, you never responded to, but I now have cash)... I will even whisper, into your ear (or shout to the P2P world, your choice)-

"Wow, Mels! Quiet a visually stimulating avatar! Would you please find one as tasty for me?."

What say you?

[Excrement_Cranium]

ROFL!


I think ONLY people w/ over 500 rep points on Zeropaid should be allowed to vote... all that rep, they must R B smartererererer.

[HelenaP]

<just comes in from a walk. sees Excr's post. looks above his/her post to see if rep is still over 500. *breaths sigh of relief*>
I can still vote!

(Edit- Reason:I forgot something...

There was some people looking inot this but they seem to have vanished off the face of the Earth.

Vanished most likely when Gonzales came in and fired <*cough*>... "replaced" all 93 U.S. attorneys...but that's just my unedjimakated guess)

(Edit- I agree. People with under average IQ's should not be allowed to vote.
Doesn't make them less of a human being (or to discount their feelings). Just means they do not need to be voting for the person that is going to run our country)

[pward33]

1) one must take an IQ test and score over a 90

You ask me, that test should also be applied to those who want to stand for election in the first place, most would fail and we might finally end up with something worth voting for!

[HelenaP]

Was on my way out the door earlier. I forgot this, too...

Secondly, for better or worse, stupidity doesnt make people less of a citizen.

While this is true, stupidity has quite a lot to do with committing and being convicted of a crime and the law states (last I talked to a convicted felon) that in doing so, one is less of a citizen enough to take away a their right to vote or carry a gun (felony only, I think. I am no expert)...
