Forums - Gaming - Washington Post, George Will thinks gamers shouldn't be allowed to vote

@naum it's the water, personally I don't touch the stuff.

@Masked Stop being so passionate for a sec and maybe you'll see something else where you now see wrongs.

@OP Old people should not be allowed to drive cars and apparently dress themselves, what that man fails to realise is that if this country followed the philosophy of its founding fathers; he would have been dead already. (Not for this comment of course.)



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

He is probably right. Reading gaming forums is more than enough evidence to make fact that a majority of gamers are idiots. Idiots shouldn't be allowed to vote.

And you think the rest of the people aren't idiots????

wow, what a ignorant prick! I hate people like him who think they are better due to their way of life... but yet I still believe they have the right to vote.

Wow......LOL....That's really pointless....Glenn Beck should not be allowed on TV if that's were this is going

 

I actually agree with this statement.  Beck pretty much attempts to be funny (but fails) and only has people that agrees with him on (or when someone disagrees, he has like 1 or 2 other people to gang up on him/her).

 

And lol @ Will.  If we're old enough to go to Iraq, we're old enough to decide who isn't the biggest idiot :P.

 

Also....Stephen Colbert proved that Glenn Beck is a farce...He claim's to be america's hero..but was quoted in 2005 saying he hates the 9/11 victim's

 

Just thought I Beckbash a little more I hate Glenn Beck I think He's a nazi

 

Oh and GO COLBERT.....And Boycott NASA for Cheating, we won the NODE naming right's fair and squre...

So let me get this straight, if someone goes out there and thinks that some people are abusing their status as "affected families" to either make themselves the subject of constant pity or fame? Which a few of those families were doing, shamefully I may add, somehow he's a farce for saying that? Shit, I agree with him. It sickens me when anyone goes out there and just for the sake of keeping their face on TV and trying to keep their name in the papers to continue stirring up problems/drama. Hell, both my father and older brother worked in Tower 2 and thankful they walked away, but if they died and after the massive amount of grief, I know I’d feel dirty doing what some of these families have done and in many ways continue to do.

Just like the constant bull crap shoved down our throats about Katrina victims, like we should feel pity for a bunch of people who didn't listen to the warnings and kept voting in state officials who had no clue about how to manage a crisis. Having had family, who actually got out of the state, heeded the warnings, I have little sympathy for anyone who had the ability to get up and walk away, only those who were unable due to health reasons and such who ended up dying in large numbers thanks to the great crisis management of the state of Louisiana.

But what can I say?  I am one of those crazy nut cases who thinks he’s funny, just like I think Colbert is funny. Great thing about us evil right wingers, we have an unabated sense of humor which allows us to laugh at ourselves and everything/one else.

 

I think your a Commie...Glenn Beck is not funny...

Personally, I don't believe that 60 year old men who still wear bow ties should be allowed to vote either...

"Today it is silly for Americans whose closest approximation of physical labor consists of loading their bags of clubs into golf carts to go around in public dressed for driving steers up the Chisholm Trail to the railhead in Abilene."

I guess he thinks that all Americans have enough time and money for golfing and don't do any physical labor. He is just a little whining bitch that can't comprehend why people wear jeans because he doesn't.

He does have a point, hell only people who own actual property in our country should be able to vote. The concept that the majority of people, who don't really contribute aside from being the work force of the country, have the ability to vote themselves the wealth of the unique and productive members of society scares me, just like it did the founders of this country.

But hey, everyone thinks we're a democracy and believes that since we're driving SUV's the polar bears are dying. Any help he's trying to give is about 60 years too late.

Property has nothing to do with it really - that early approach was really just designed to limit voting to the rich.  If you work hard, are an asset to your community, and just happen to live in an apartment - I don't see any justification for why you can't vote.

That said: If you are taking more from this country than you are giving to it then I don't see how you have any right to vote on where this country is going.  If you are on welfare or other forms of government aid, or have been the beneficiary of such programs in recent (6 months?  1-2 years?) history - you really have no right to be voting people into office who will give you more money earned by other people.  If nothing else this should serve as some motivation for those who are living off the "government safety net" to work hard to get back on their own two feet so that they can fully participate in our society.

I say this knowing full well that a policy of this sort would have made it less likely that the president I voted for (Obama) would have won - because regardless of the impact to the voter demographic distribution, it is the right thing to - we complain about congress voting itself raises but seem to have no issue with the adult children who are provided for by the government voting themselves more money.
