Voting is our right. Sure. We should all be allowed to vote. But if I don't vote for whatever reason, I don't want the chick who played the female lead in "The Eye" telling me I'm an asshole. I'm only an asshole if I paid 3.99 to rent that piece of shit. People.com reports:
Jessica Alba, who appears in a in new bondage-inspired campaign for the voter group Declare Yourself, isn't afraid to employ a little shock value for a cause she believes in.
"I think it is important for young people to be aware of the need we have in this country to get them more active politically," says Alba. "People respond to things that are shocking."
This is the ad they're referring to:
Who thinks this is going to get young people politically involved? Young people are f*&king stupid. When I was nineteen I missed a final in one of my classes because my friend had crapped in a box and set it in front of our neighbor's house and I wanted to wait and see what his reaction would be when he opened it. But unfortunately for the people that made this ad, they're not stupid in the kind of way that makes them highly susceptible to really f$#king stupid ads that generalize voting. That kind of stupid is reserved for Jessica Alba. I can't wait until they start making more and more shocking voting ads, and we end up with something like this:
Doesn't matter who you vote for in the end. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the ignorant will always believe what they hear at face value.
seems to be that the people say this tend to be the supposed "poor getting poorer". well i hate to be blunt but, hard workers get richer, people who sit on their asses pooping out stupid quotes like this get poorer.
by making this generalisation you automatically put yourself in (probably) that "poor" group, and you've already got the mind set that one cant become the other.
your basically setting yourself up to follow that awful generalisation.
get over that "us and them" thing, people get richer every day. get off your ass, get out of that mindset and be one of those people.
dont whinge about politics to us, we cant do anything about it, put in your vote and tell the people who actually care, and who it will actually effect.
