Omfg. I go to sleep and you people have a political discussion without me? Rogue, how could you?!

Voting should not be mandatory, it should be a choice and everyone should have the choice to make it.

a) when you force people to vote, whether you educate them or not, they'll still make uneducated choices because they dont care. You cant force people to care about politics, thats something that happens when people are abused to the point that they want to put an end to whatever is crippling thier lifestyle. (there's a spider in the corner, it isnt bothering you, you usually leave it be, but if its on your arm, youre flailing around like crazy.)

b) In America - for example - voting is a right. Thats what makes our country awesome. And i dont believe that whole 'if you dont vote, keep your opinions to yourself,' because again .. this is America, and we've earned our right not to vote if we dont want to.

c) i wish i wasnt so brain-dead tired right now. Can you all just .. i donno .. pause this discussion? :P
