- She should be able to get a Provisional ballot -- nm - oblique - I voted! Nov 4, 11:38 2

    - Mine does. -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 11:39 4

    - *texts kilbo* - dogbert183 Nov 4, 11:41
- This is like blaming a retarded child for having their lunch money stolen. - musubi Voted For Change 2 weeks ago Nov 4, 11:36 2
  - I'd take our elections more seriously if the Feds tracked down the texters and robocallers and charged them with fraud and voter intimidation. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 11:38
  - agreeance. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 11:38
- can't that be traced? - JaxSean - I Voted, dammit Nov 4, 11:32 3
  - The atorney general's office in MO is already looking into it -- nm - eag Nov 4, 11:33 2
    - MO is phone scam central.. it's where all those "your car warranty is expiring" calls come from -- nm - colin Nov 4, 11:39 1
      - We were getting those calls and we don't have a car. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 11:40
- common sentiment around here is that if they're dumb enough to believe it, they don't deserve to have their vote counted. - znufrii Nov 4, 11:32 3
  - That's an eligibility test, and that's prohibited by law. You don't have to be smart to vote. -- nm - Mop - I voted! Nov 4, 11:41
  - and they call *US* elitists -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 4, 11:35
  - gosh, aren't we such smarties. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:33
- Were you around ST yesterday? There was some discussion about this. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 11:31
- God, yes. -- nm - Mop - I voted! Nov 4, 11:31
- Again, if people are stupid enough to believe that then I don't think they should be voting in the first place. -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 11:31 8
  - what's next, allowing people to erect obstacle courses in front of polling stations so only the fit and athletic can vote? -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 11:33 7
    - Voting is a mental, decision-making process. I seriously doubt the ability of anybody who would believe that text to make an informed, rational choice -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 11:37 5
      - to pursue my logical argument to its absurd conclusion. - znufrii Nov 4, 11:41 1
        
        Of course better education is the proper response. But the response that IS being taken is "EVERYONE VOTE NO MATTER WHAT!!!" - Ender Nov 4, 11:45
      - How about this..."Do you think Obama is a Muslim? If yes you are too stupid to vote" Sound good? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 4, 11:39 2
        
        Yes. At a certain level of stupidity we might as well just use a random number generator for their vote. -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 11:41
        
        *golf clap* -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 4, 11:41
    - I'm fucked -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:35
- If they believe that, then good riddance. - Beryllium Nov 4, 11:31
- sure, of course. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:31
Well I know I'm more confident about our elections system knowing the Black Panthers are "protecting" polling places in Philly with billy clubs. *NM* - Ender Nov 4, 11:30 [youtube] 1
- Fuck, is that legal? -- nm - Mop - I voted! Nov 4, 11:34
Onto to happier topics...I just turned in my Cub Scout Pack's fundraiser...looks like we earned ourselves right around $3000. I have a pack of 50 - Jim Nov 4, 11:27 9
- Eff pinewood. Foreskin Derby this year! - TFox Nov 4, 11:31
- That's a lot of popcorn -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 11:29
- $60/boy? That's what, about two tins of popcorn per? *NM* - Ender Nov 4, 11:28 6
  - We don't do the popcorn. It's too big of a ripoff and no one wants it. We sold pizzas instead. -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 11:28 5
    - ah, smart. Council must hate you, heh -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 11:29 4
      - Probably so. We tried it one year and it was a complete disaster for us. I mean seriously... - Jim Nov 4, 11:31 3
        
        Yeah, I checked the order sheets and for those prices I expect those popcorn tins to be 6 feet high. -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 11:32 1
        
        They're not even close. I had no idea until we picked them up. I was honestly embarrassed to deliver them. -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 11:33
        
        exactly! -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 11:32
Max. I added more stats to the Box Office game last night for each move -- (link) - oblique - I voted! Nov 4, 11:27 8
- is this app live yet? -- nm - Pippy votes Nov 4, 11:37 1
  - It is if you know the URL. I submitted it to the Facebook directory last night. So either way it works -- nm - oblique - I voted! Nov 4, 11:40
- Do I need a facebook account to play? -- nm - Inigo Nov 4, 11:29 4
  - If you don't get an account, don't complain! -- nm - Max Nov 4, 11:30 2
    - I'd like to apply this line of thinking to taxes. -- nm - Inigo Nov 4, 11:32 1
      - I hate taxes, that's why I don't pay them! -- nm - Max Nov 4, 11:36
  - *nods* One of us! One of us! -- nm - oblique - I voted! Nov 4, 11:30
- *hump* -- nm - Max Nov 4, 11:28
Think however you want, and I disagree with anyone's decision not to vote as well, but it's getting dogpile-ish on Will here. - nubby - I voted! Nov 4, 11:26 41
- if you want to dance, you have to pay the fiddler...nm - x Nov 4, 11:35
- I agree with will, if it weren't for local issues I would probably never vote in a presidential election. - dogbert183 Nov 4, 11:34 2
  - But there are other candidates. Sure, Keyes and Nader and Barr and McKinney have no fucking chance in hell of winning - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:37 1
    - with how much I've seen him pay attention to politics, I would safely bet yes, he knows. I would rather have someone not just go through the motions - dogbert183 Nov 4, 11:44
- Oh he has a right not to vote, but he should have let us know upfront to ignore his political rantings since he is "full of sound and fury..." - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 4, 11:33
- Agreed. Aside from my afformentioned appreciation of direct democracy in action, if he feels there's no viable option, he shouldn't bother. - Beryllium Nov 4, 11:29
- im over it already. I shall take out my frustrations with will - tRuMaN - is it over yet? Nov 4, 11:28
- I'm actually glad Will decided not to vote. - znufrii Nov 4, 11:28 1
  - Well, considering he wasn't going to vote Obama...I'll consider it a vote for the good guys. :) -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 11:29
- agreed, and I hate TT dogpiles. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:28 14
  - for heaven's sake, why? - TFox Nov 4, 11:30 13
    - I don't like them regardless. There are a lot of people who seem to enjoy being mean for the pleasure of it. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:30 12
      - I'm not being mean for the pleasure of it, and I resent the implication -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:34 2
        
        I didn't name anyone, but thanks for self-identifying. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:37 1
        
        I am not self-identifying. I am not dogpiling on him. I am having an intelligent discussion that isn't degrading into name calling -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:40
      - This doesn't seem like people are being mean for the pleasure of it, though. - kelly Nov 4, 11:33 5
        
        didn't say they were. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:38
        
        further...if I'm one of the folks "being mean" I'm actually not trying to be. - Jim Nov 4, 11:36 2
        
        not on this topic, but you are actually really nasty to me on a consistent basis for no apparent reason. -- nm - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:39 1
        
        k -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 11:43
        
        I am curious why he didn't at least vote for question #2. He seemed pretty strongly for it. -- nm - Inigo Nov 4, 11:35
      - I only enjoy being mean to *some* people for the pleasure of it. - TFox Nov 4, 11:32 2
        
        oh, that's ok then. - loosilu - I voted! Nov 4, 11:34 1
        
        Well see, I generally try to wait until I decide they deserve it. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 11:37
- And c'mon, it's not like he said "I don't feel like it, so fuck it". He has a reason, whether you agree with it or not. - TFox Nov 4, 11:28 1
  - His reason is bullshit. I'm not saying he's a bad human being, but I'm calling it like I see it. - musubi Voted For Change 2 weeks ago Nov 4, 11:31
- I missed something, but if he's opting not to vote because he doesn't believe in either candidate, that's perfectly fine. -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 11:28 7
  - But he's also not voting in any of the state, county or city elections or initiatives - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:29 6
    - This is true, but if he's not up to date on the local elections, no problemo -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 11:31 5
      - I think we all just think it's odd that he's spent a loosi amount of posts talking about the candidates. -- nm - Amy--I tried 3 times! Nov 4, 11:33 2
        
        We have to ask if David voted for the MLB All-Stars. If not, no more talking about baseball. EVER -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 11:40 1
        
        Can anyone vote for that? Where? I'm TOTALLY voting for that. -- nm - Amy--I tried 3 times! Nov 4, 11:42
      - But it is a problem. I'm not trying to dogpile on Will. I am trying to help him see why apathy in the process is the least successful option - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:33 1
        
        Hey, good luck with that. :) - kelly Nov 4, 11:35
- I also stand by his right to choose not to vote and have the ability to bitch about the system. -- nm - JaxSean - I Voted, dammit Nov 4, 11:28
- Oh..look what we have here. Looks like nubby wants some now!!! -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 11:28 1
  - Get 'im! yar!! -- nm - nubby in the tower game Nov 4, 11:28
- effin nubby - oblique - I voted! Nov 4, 11:27
- puppy cam! -- nm - Dano voted Nov 4, 11:27 2
  - I approve of that dogpile. - nubby - I voted! Nov 4, 11:27 1
    - I'm Paws Hussein McGee and I approve of this message. yip!! -- nm - Paws "Hussein" McGee Nov 4, 11:29
from b2, I guess that isn't suprising, - tRuMaN - is it over yet? Nov 4, 11:26 5
- but did will at least vote in local/state elections? -- nm - tRuMaN - is it over yet? Nov 4, 11:27 4
  - No. If I understand correctly he *did* vote in the primaries. - TWuG Nov 4, 11:31 3
    - is he registered? -- nm - all the candidates loves mandy lane Nov 4, 11:37
    - well, if he went to the polls, and voted on everything else, and just left the presidential race unchecked - tRuMaN - is it over yet? Nov 4, 11:33 1
      - I'm fine with that, too. It's the "not voting on anything" that gets me. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 11:36
Hey Bery, are there any items in The Merch that you make more per purchase on? -- nm - Dano voted Nov 4, 11:26 3
- when it comes to the merch, I only make about a dollar per item on average. I'd say, don't bother getting it unless you really can't live without it. - Beryllium Nov 4, 11:28 2
  - Thong! -- nm - Dano voted Nov 4, 11:29 1
    - ^-- this is what I mean by it possibly not being a good idea. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 11:30
A good point, Mr Havens. But the end result is the same: DHS, PATRIOT, and all that bullplop. And FEMA, of course. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 11:26 2
- And I freely admit it's impossible to know how Gore would have reacted to 9/11 (which would have happened regardless of who was in office) or Katrina -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:28 1
  - Gore woulda been forced to go into Afghanistan; the American people were demanding nothing less than that. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 11:34
LIR: Will. If you had a candidate in June, did you vote in June? -- nm - oblique - I voted! Nov 4, 11:25 7
- He was a Hillary guy. When she lost, I guess he decided to take his ball and go home. nm - Jim Nov 4, 11:26 6
  - Indeed. God forbid you write-in your cadidate of choice. (nm) - musubi Voted For Change 2 weeks ago Nov 4, 11:27 4
    - on a couple of the no-opponent races, I almost wrote in spamlet - tRuMaN - is it over yet? Nov 4, 11:28 2
      - here, if there is no approved write-in candidate for a race, there is no place to write anything in -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 4, 11:29 1
        
        there were lines for it, I just didn't bother. - tRuMaN - is it over yet? Nov 4, 11:30
    - That might cut into Halo time. :P -- nm - Amy--I tried 3 times! Nov 4, 11:28
  - I actually though he would vote mccain. -- nm - tRuMaN - is it over yet? Nov 4, 11:26
Word. -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 11:25
it's despicable. -- nm - all the candidates loves mandy lane Nov 4, 11:25 2
- It's also a dessert topping -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 4, 11:26
- I'm now imagining you as Sylvester the Cat. (nm) - musubi Voted For Change 2 weeks ago Nov 4, 11:26
