I love the fact that people want to have power over the US, and those who don't want to bomb us, or rip us off, or talk sh8 about us. The truth is, countries shouldn't even be divided. That's why so many people hate each other. I like to eat doughnuts, popcorn, and smoke some marijuana while I watch people talk politics, it's a riot to watch them hammer away and get nowhere, they're like a bunch of ants, they work hard at their argument, (like an anthill) and someone could come by and kick the dirt or sand away. They really feel important when they talk with their coffee and cookies, don't they? Safe in their appartment kitchen, or cozy living room, discussing whether the wars in Vietnam or Iraq were justified, or how much liberals suck, or how much conservatives are idiots. God bless America, children, because we have that luxury to put are two useless cents in.

I love politics. It's Hell.
Sure, it pisses me off to no end from time to time, but that can be gotten around. I love debating the issues and finding out the dirt about the candidates. So fun. I talk politics with my family and friends all the time. Great discussions.

does it seem like politics is just a way to discuss and potentially fix problems?

Yes, that is really all politics is. Politics isn't half bad, but politicians are. They lie, cheat, steal and probably murder just to get into office. They are a pitiful breed, I wish they would all just at least try to act good? As they do it now, it is almost like they are publicly telling everyone about who they raped last night.

I generally don't care enough about politics to be involved or hold a strong opinion. Sometimes I'll get into debates (i.e. arguments) with people who have strong political views because it's so easy to get them upset, but I don't really discuss it unless it's for my own amusement.

If we dont care about politics we dont have the right to complain about politicians and we deserve every stupid person other people vote for.

Ancient greeks called the people who didnt care about politics *idiots* - idiot meaning he who only cares for himself and not for the public.

Heh, I probably am an idiot, and I'm definitely selfish. But seeing as I can't vote anyway, I think I'll put off getting involved until what I think actually matters. What's the point of holding political views if you have no power to expess them? No one cares about the opinion of some random sixteen-year-old girl.

Better to sort your political views out now, than trying to do so on the way to the voting booth. If you aren't strong in your beliefs, which comes from time and research, than you can easily be swayed. Sure you cannot vote yet, but dont be ignorant to how our country is being shaped.

I talk politics, I don't like to, though. I don't like politics because most people don't know a God damn thing about politics, and because even though I get to a point where me and some friend figure out a way that works for everyone, still, we won't be able to make it happen. "Baronjok for senee-terd". The truth is, most people want what's convienient not what's fair, or right. Jeez. I ALSO don't like talking politics, because people do it to feel important. Or simply because they're in a bad mood, or whatever the hell dumb a** reason they do it. GOD! Let me quote Samuel Huntington.....::: "the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do."

Yes, but I do care about politics. It is important that there is discussion on the issues and problems that face our country. However, that doesn't give politicians the right to act like frigging idiots. Sure they do this country a favor, but how much of a favor? They are really just playing the game called politics for money. Benjamin Franklin wouldn't be happy with them that is for sure... :fwink

the point of talking politicts is to get oppions, broden your horizon, work your mind, and get pissed off. it can be fun. people like to get their oppinons across. even if it is sometimes silly... it can still be fun. well maybe not fun.. but interesting.

one vote never won an election. persuading thousands of people CAN win an election.. and maybe they wont listen to a 16 year old girl but you have the power to persuade.


dont think with one vote never won an election in mind.. if everyone thought that way then youd have no election. your vote means the same as everyone elses.
