As long as they dont ban smoking, drinking or diving, I'm a happy camper.

It's ok Marty, I won't make fun of you any less than I already do.

[ppcock]

your friend should've created a facebook event asking what he should vote for.

Honestly Jim.

I dont care about gays or lesbians, I dont care about abortions, I dont care about fuel prices. the only thing I minimally care about is taxes and I cant vote for both since all of them praise "tax cuts"

IN THIS THREAD EVERYONE MAKES UP EXCUSES FOR LAZINESS AND TRIES TO JUSTIFY THEMl

My point is that:

"Um, hi voting for a party isn't important?! really?"

Is over simplifying it. Not everyone agrees with the party. In my brothers case, he wouldn't want that person to have a single vote from him.

[stephen_c]

yes. bright and early.

[tiedye]

Since everyone up here seems like a regulation douche, I'm destroying my ballot.

[ash1ee]

im hoping my afternoon gives me enough time to sneak out of work, vote and make it home for 5:07pm.

its not looking that way :/

[Pussy*Kat]

Holy shit guys,


Voting is a personal choice. Not really a big deal.

If you dont vote, you dont get to bitch about whos elected in. Since I do neither its not really a big deal.

Maybe some people dont have time to vote (time given off work or not). Im not going to drive a fucking hour back to Coqutilam then BACK to work in Richmond, so my vote, which wont effect me in the long run anyways is accounted for.

For those who vote, congrats. but stop looking down on those who dont. Its not the end of the world.

It kinda is.

Fair enough.

You could always have mailed your ballot.

For those who vote, congrats. but stop looking down on those who dont. Its not the end of the world.

It sure is! LEONARDO DICAPRIO SAID SO!!!!

VOTING ISN'T A CHOICE, ITS A RESPONSIBILITY

WHAT MPS AND/OR PARTIES GET INTO POWER SHOULD BE A REPRESENTATION OF ALL CANADIANS, NOT JUST THE OLD PEOPLE WHO REALIZE HOW MUCH OF A BIG DEAL IT IS l

IF NOT VOTING IS SOMETHING YOU'RE SET ON, WALK IN AND DESTROY YOUR BALLOT, WHICH GETS RECORDED. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD THAT YOU THINK THE CURRENT SYSTEM SUCKS.

In many cases, not voting is the only responsible choice. Sometimes there is no lesser of evils. I think the whole "if you don't vote, you can't bitch" bit is complete bullshit if it's done for the right reasons.

DIGITAL RIGHTS ISSUES

SUPPORT OF THE ARTS

FOOD SAFETY ISSUES

GOING GREEN

SENIORS

INTEREST RATES

but lets be realistic here, it's a choice. and destroying a ballot isn't representative of people's indifference.

[rawb]

IF YOU DONT CARE ABOUT ANY PARTY PARTICULARLY, VOTE FOR THE LEAST REPRESENTED PARTY

EVEN IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH THEM, YOUR VOTE WILL GIVE THEM MONEY AND POLITICAL INFLUENCE SO THAT THEIR NEXT CAMPAIGN WILL BE LARGER AND FACTOR INTO THE NATIONAL PICTURE MORE l

PEOPLE ARE INDIFFERENT BECAUSE POLITICIANS DO NOT PANDER TO WHATS IMPORTANT TO THEM

POLITICIANS DO NOT PANDER TO WHATS IMPORTANT TO THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T VOTE

SO VOTE FOR WHO YOU BELIEVE IN, OR VOTE THAT YOU DONT BELIEVE IN ANYTHING PRESENTED TO YOU

IF YOU DONT WALK INTO A VOTING BOOTH AND MAKE A CHOICE, YOU WILL NOT BE SEEN AS SOMEONE MAKING A POLITICAL STATEMENT, YOU WILL BE SEEN AS JUST ANOTHER LAZY 20-SOMETHING

ACTUALLY MAKING A DESTROYED BALLOT THAT IS RECORDED SHOWS THAT YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE PROCESS. IF EVERYONE WHO DIDNT BELIEVE IN THE SYSTEM ACTUALLY REGISTERED THEIR DISCONTENT IN A NUMERICALLY VERIFIABLE WAY I BET YOU ANY MONEY NEXT ELECTION THERE WOULD BE A HUGE FOCUS ON VOTING REFORM.

If you don't vote you can't bitch... Everyone bitches about something that has to do with the gov. I went and voted this morning.
