your vote counts.
Only one day left before the election. I want to thank you Seanchai for allowing this thread to remain in the General Discussion forum as reminder and encouragement for people to register, get their shit together and vote.Quote:

Thanks again. And now just a few more bumps.
LAST CHANCE OMK : Until you explain why you changed the text in that article you don't get another post on this board at all.Quote:

The thing about democracy is that the process has to be clean for it to achieve its own end, the will of the people. You do not get there by cheating the people, silencing the people, or tricking the people.
Great catch. OMK, on the eve of the election, you live in infamy, an exile from the forum, cut off from the masses you would propagandize. For shame! (end mock surpise:)).
Voting is not some free shit Obama gave you.

The view from the top is worth all the effort in the World.

You were called out on it on 546 and 547 - but failed to answer.
So why did you change that text?
To be fair to OMK, he selectively alters all of his posts so it's difficult to know which one people are upset about on any given day.Quote:

Does he have to provide a harmless explanation? 1. I randomly erased five words and they happened to be the ones that made my argument a thousand times stronger. 2. follow my finger you are getting sleepy.
I really can't think of anything OMK. I think you're fucked.
I have stayed away from this thread because i see it as nothing but trouble and outright politics . I can't believe it has gone so far . I have stopped to see where it has gone a couple of times for a laugh . I don't know what is going on with this currently but i did look at title from the linked page .
4 years ago i had a voter at the machine next to me voting for Obama and the other Black and Democrat candidates . The guy was 20 at most and did not appear to have all of his fries in his happy meal if you know what i mean . How did i know who he was voting for ? Because there was a woman with him telling him what to do . I was lucky enough to get the POLL MANAGER'S attention with a hand signal and then point . He immediately told the woman to step away from the machine . She claimed to be his mother, then aunt and said that he had never voted before and she was just showing him what to do . The P.M. told her again to step away & if the voter needed technical assistance the POLL STAFF would help . She didn't like it but walked away .
This was 1st thing in the morning when the Polls had just opened, so you could imagine what may have gone on for the next 12 hours . I am the 1st person to vote at my Poll and just after voting i drove around looking at a few others close by . There are 4 within 3 blocks of each other . Most in churches . I found several violations at a couple and called the Police . There were campaign signs within the prohibited area of the poll and one dipshit at the 7th Day Adventist Church sitting in a foldind chair 20 feet from the exit door and 40 feet from a thoroughfare with a campaign sign waving it at traffic and at voters entering the Poll . This woman wasn't to bright either and told the police officer that it was ok because she went to church there and the church was voting for Obama . ..... I shit you not .
