ChivalrysRevival what did i say about the handicapped? "there are other ways to vote." there are special voting provisions for the disabled or if worse comes to worse they can hitch a ride or something... Granted this may be an extreme situation, but, what should happen if the handicapped gets into that worse situation, but has no one to drive them to the nearest voting place? What about people in hospitals, due to illness/accident/etc. on election day outside of the area they are registered to vote in? It's already to late for them to apply for the absentee ballot, what should they do? Quote: if you know you want to vote and are going to be gone, it is your responsibility to learn how. I agree with this, however, I believe that the nation should require individuals to registering to vote, take a course on the numerous options available for how they can vote. Quote: if you do not then how can it conceivably be anyone else's fault but your own? not everyone needs to know how to send an absentee ballot ( stare although it is a good idea for those of us who like to be informed about the political process...) I think that everyone should know how to send in the absentee ballot. Quote: if they do not take it upon themselves to figure out how, then too bad. they screwed up. better luck next time. Like I said previously, I believe that registering to vote, ought to be like applying for any other licsense, in the sense that we ought to be instructed on the numerous ways in which we can vote. For example, in my state, to get a hunting licsense (well, a card that allows you to buy the tags) you have to complete so many hours of a hunting safety course; it's similar with driving in my state as well. You cannot apply for a permit one day, then the next apply for a licsense, you have to go through so many hours (60) over a 6 month span of driving before you can apply for your licsense. Quote: falsely imprisoned? it's called appeals and pardons. Appeals take time and pardons take as much time, unless your case is one of those rare pressing cases. Quote: and yes i dont like the idea of a serial rapist voting on curfew hours, penalty severity, or things relating to their convictions. armed robbers and gang members voting on whether or not i can have a gun to protect myself from them? not so hot on that idea either. charles manson on civil rights? how about you? Unfortunately, I think only those cases which result in murder and/or treason warrant a repeal of one's voting privilege. Why would it bother you that a serial rapist, who's MO is elderly women, votes on the curfew hours of young teenagers? Furthermore, rarely are we given the privilege of making such votes - usually it is the representative that we have elected in our district (be it state or local) that chooses the curfew hours. Again, we are a representative democracy, not a complete democracy. Quote: if they were really politically astute, they would know the reparations for their actions, including the loss of voting rights, and probably wouldn't have done it the first place... stare that is if they are truely politically astute. Unless, of course, they have some sort of pyschological disorder and/or head trauma resulting in malfunctioning of certain brain processes.

- there are hospital ballots - good idea. i think there should be some minor prerequisite to voting such as learning how to vote - yes pardons take time and all but there are relatively few cases in which there is wrongful condemnation, or at least not nearly as many as the media would have us believe... - how many serial rapists have an MO for the elderly... (there needs to be a hurl emotican by the way) not any. most prey on the younger people out at night. my city lets us vote on stuff like that... maybe it's just different from local area to local area... chaoticpuppet ChivalrysRevival what did i say about the handicapped?

Few? Are you crazy? There are a lot more than the media shows. And the media shows hardly any at all. Saying that without knowing the facts is foolish. A lot do actually... disgusting, but true.

AmmonSuperCombo so anyone else seeing all the hurricanes and whatnot and thinking... do people still want to take god out of the pledge... Oh man, yeah; I mean, New Orleans, Texas, Florida are not only the places that started this 'let's take God out of the pledge' movement; furthermore, it is not like there is any other city that is bad and is surviving in America let alone the world. I mean, Las Vages (sin city) is nowhere near as bad as New Orleans, any place in Texas, or any place in Florida. Then, compared to those cities, Amsterdam and Prague are most definitely saints. I mean, why else are they untouched damage wise. Oh, and look at Russia, all the prostitutes and all they have is a bad economy. Yes, America is really getting it hard, and showing us devils, as we are far worse than Russia, Amsterdam, or Prague, that we are, in fact, evil. Furthermore, it certainly makes sense, that instead of going at the capital (or the worst city in the union) God goes at some inferior city. And then to think that God did this, well, you obviously have little konwledge of Geology and meteorology.

AmmonSuperCombo yeah it was mardi gras. thats pretty close to sodom and gamorrah (sp?) wouldn't you say? Not any closer than Las Vegas is to being Sodom and Gomorrah. In fact, I would say that, compared to Amsterdam, Russia (as a whole), Prague, etc., New Orleans during Mardi Gras is pretty tame. Quote: i was just saying that it's ironic that shortly after this under God fiasco, New Orleans is now New Atlantis and now, within a week of the in God we trust stuff, tornadoes are going crazy in the midwest. anyone else seeing a slight pattern in the severity of weather in relation to current events? Not really at all, this whole 'Under God' thing started in California, not Louisana, let alone New Orleans. So, I am failing to see the irony in that sense. Further, without God actually trying to destroy the more corrupt cities of Prague, Amsterdam, most of Russia, etc. I fail to see any pattern of anything here. In fact, what I do see, is a natural weather phenomenon that happens once every year, near the end of the year. Maybe you've heard of it, it's called Hurricane Season. Typically it lasts between the months of August to about November, and typically strikes in the southern states of the United States, usually Florida - North Carolina (sometimes Virginia and as far north as Delaware), and usually going as far east as the Gulf of Mexico will allow.
