It is compulsory to vote in Australia providing you are enrolled to vote. I am not enrolled to vote and I never intend to enroll to vote. I do not see the point of voting for middle aged men who lie to the world. Every word that comes out a politician's mouth is a lie.

 

you hate ALL politicians? none of them are perfect, but thats the consequence of being human, you should vote for the politician you like the most or in your case hate the least.

With politicians like this, how can you not care?

"Andrew Jackson was the first president on whom an assassination attempt was made. A man named Richard Lawrence approached Jackson with two pistols both of which, for some reason, misfired. With the possibility of an assassination taken off the table, Jackson proceeded to beat Lawrence near death with his cane until Jackson's aides pulled him off the assassin."

That is only one amazing tid bit in that article.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I did read it, TR was awesome but AJ was more of a bad ass.  He got in a duel, and offered the other guy the first shot.

TR gets shot and still gives the speech, yeah yeah.

 

There are some other bad ass stories they don't talk about, and the JFK one is widely disputed.

@Rock_On. A bit of an exaggeration. Though I must say voting would have been pointless last election because either way you were getting one of the political twins.

 

I hope to christ you mean the glasses? Thus far Rudd's apoligised to aboriginals, signed Kyoto, introduced a plan for carbon credits, reversed and democratised immigration problems and is rolling back strict secrecy laws giving the press more room to make the gov. accountable for the shit they cause. Not exactly identical. Compulsory voting does suck but with 61% turnout in UK i can see why it might actually produce a fairer result.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
