The rest of the retards are starting threads about who should not be allowed to vote.

The question of whether you should have some amount of political awareness to vote is one that is common around this time every four years (as evidenced by the multiple threads in this forum on the subject). Stossel gives fair time to both sides of the question and doesn't go to lengths to make the people he is interviewing look stupid... unlike some other popular documentarians.
We could institute a literacy test or maybe a poll tax.
That's genius, I can't believe it hasn't been tried before.Quote:

Stossel lost me when he did a piece defending price gouging during disasters.

There are so many people we treat wrong when it comes to the voting process. I think criminals should be able to vote once they have been deemed to have served their time for example.
Those who cannot do higher level thinking shouldn't be excluded any more than people who do not seek the truth of candidates. Either are capable of being persuaded into voting other than what is really right. As long as they can decide for themselves, who am I to tell them they cannot vote. That is too large of a gray area for me to say deprive them from voting.
My trouble with the voting process is that we allow people to vote who have no skin in the process. Legislators are spending tax dollars. The people, in mass, who pay no taxes, are now asking for everything. That is wrong. I have very few fears in life. My biggest fear is that I will live to see the destruction of this nation by people voting more and more socialism until this nation self destructs.
From a purely capitalist point of view price gouging makes perfect sense.Quote:

With your line of reasoning " My trouble with the voting process is that we allow people to vote who have no skin in the process.", We should not allow for men to vote on abortion issues because they have no skin in the process?
This is dumb. The reason people are so uninformed, or should I say misinformed, is because of the media. Then they turn and make fun of people? These people would be more informed if the media would do their jobs.
It's sad when satire shows like The Daily Show, has more sustenance than your local media outlet. F the media.
Yep, you don't know how to read, do you?Quote:

Verbal context refers to surrounding text or talk of an expression (word, sentence, conversational turn, speech act, etc.). The idea is that verbal context influences the way we understand the expression. Hence the norm not to cite people 'out of context'. Since much contemporary linguistics takes texts, discourses or conversations as its object of analysis, the modern study of 'verbal context' takes place in terms of the analysis of discourse structures and their mutual relationships, for instance the coherence relation between sentences.
Funny thing is, the majority of the voters that would pass that would be pro-Obama!Quote:

Ohio's Election Chief goes to the Supreme Court in an attempt to assist voter fraud;
Ohio elections chief appeals court ruling
By Associated Press
POSTED: 08:58 a.m. EDT, Oct 16, 2008
COLUMBUS: Ohio's top elections chief has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in a dispute over whether the state is required to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility, a spokesman for her office said Thursday.
Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, filed an appeal the high court late Wednesday, said spokesman Jeff Ortega.
On Tuesday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati sided with the Ohio Republican Party and ordered Brunner to set up a system that provides names of newly registered voters whose driver's license numbers or Social Security numbers don't match records in other government databases.
The GOP contends the information for counties will help prevent fraud.
At least 200,000 newly registered voters have mismatched data, according to an initial review by Brunner's office.
Brunner's office said Wednesday that she would comply with the lower court's ruling. Ortega said the office would release a statement later Thursday on why she chose to file an appeal.
Brunner has called the issue a veiled attempt at disenfranchising voters and said other checks exist to help determine eligibility.
Ohio Republicans issued a statement calling the situation a shameful mess and criticized her for initially saying she would comply with the earlier court ruling.
About 666,000 Ohioans have registered to vote since January, with many doing so before the contested Democratic presidential primary election between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton in March.
The element of corruption in the Democrat Party is off the charts!
