political ads.

McCain is Satan's best friend.

Obama loves the terrorists.

I want this over. Now.

Yeah, I was sick of this shit while the Hillary/Obama shit was going on. Reading all the news coverage and ads now is just frustrating. All the Republican ones are so blatantly two faced and bullshit that it makes me want to scream. And the Democrats seem to be sticking to the "Republicans are going to rape your children" tactics.

It's all so obviously transparent it makes me wonder why any of your citizens even bother to vote anymore.

Most of them don't.

I thought it was quite interesting that Australians don't have to vote but they get fined if they don't show up to the polling station.

I think the only thing worse than not voting, is voting without actually giving a shit.

...or, as I've encountered many times before I isolated myself from the public, people who vote for whichever side they think is most popular/is going to win "to be on the winning side".

When reading this thread title, did anyone else think of Kirk repeatedly kicking Krudge in the face in ST:III?

Well, Aussies who don't give a shit don't vote, they can turn up and tear up the ballot as long as they turn up.

But I think for the next General election, I'll take a dump first, then not wipe my ass, then shove the ballot down my crack when I'm in the booth.
