    Idk, he said he voted for Obama last time.

    But yeah, sky, stop talking politics ever if you refuse to educate yourself on it. Liking Ron Paul because he appeared to do something, even though you know nothing about anything he stands for or plans on doing, just like hating Obama for policies put in place 100 years ago, is just dumb. Please don't vote (i know you already said you might not, im just reiterating) until you care enough to educate yourself.

    At the end of the day I doubt my quality as a person doesn't come down to whether or not I like one candidate vs. another. I like choosing how and when I help people and I would rather give my time and money when I want to. I donate to charity, I volunteer for tbings like salvation army at holidays and donate to the vfw. And, when I see a homeless guy when I'm pulling into publix I buy him a sandwich and water and give it to him on my way out. None of this matters and I'm no mother teresa, but im not a wholly bad person. I have my views and I lean against most forms of socialism. I know I think differently than most of you. At least I'm decent enough to treat you all with conversational respect. You all have been bashing me, saying I'm terrible or a racist. What does that say about you?

    I never watched PBS, go ahead and cut funding. Tv stations should pay for themselves.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    You keep claiming people aren't reading what you're saying and yet you have the worst reading comprehension ever. You're quality doesn't come down to whether or not you like a particular candidate. It comes down to you wanting to vote for someone you think is worse out of pure willful ignorance, and when people try to educate you, you plug your ears and scream, "I'm not into politics!" You go on about charity, yet you would willing vote for someone who even you claim would be worse. What do you think that would do to those people you give charity to? Romney is very likely going to fuck those poor people over, and help increase the lower income population. And that would effect them on a daily basis, vs. your once in awhile offerings of charity.

    Educate yourself, or don't vote.

    Can someone make a dos equis poster with "I dont always vote, but when I do it's for the wrong reasons"

    Things arent always so black andwhite white as saying if I don't like one tgen I must like the other. I think our entire bipartison political system sucks. It's driven by black and white party lines and unfortunately our country exists in the grey area in between.

    No I get your position that I should educate myself on all sides and make an informed decision based on the individual whose policies I feel are most beneficial to me and the country together. It's not hard to understand.

    Given that im not going to do that I need to make a deciosn based on what I have available to me. And, based on the information I have I dont like either candidate or really our entire bipartisan system. There are some things i do Obamas platform i probably like as well as dislike. There may be things in Romneys I like and dislike.

    Where we aren't in agreement is you seem forced to pick one of the two and I wish there was another option. That other option would be the grey area im speaking of, unfortunately it doesn't exist right now.

    So, I do agree its best I dont vote because Im not happy with either side on the surface and don't want to go through each with a fine tooth comb for the minute differences that might sway me. I understand that is how you become informed and I have no desire to spend the time doing it.

    I won't spend my time cutting into your arguments like a lot of other people have been doing, but if this is the case I am very surprised that you engaged this thread/topic in the first place.

    My initial entry to the topic was based on my thoughts to the ceo's letter. It's after that I made the mistake of engaging further. I generally avoid this forum and I'm sure ill avoid it here after for obvious reasons. I have my expertise and politics isn't one of them.

    This is why our country has so many problems that don't get addressed. Getting informed isn't a test you can cram for. You have to keep your eyes open and pay attention to the news, what politicians are saying and doing, and think about issues that may sometimes have nothing to do with your daily life. Being informed means staying informed. It's not that hard or time consuming if you just pay attention. Your understanding of politics is 100% manipulated because you don't pay attention. You are a tool.

    You may be right. But, there are probably a lot of much more informed individuals who aren't happy with their quality of life. I'm less informed but I am enjoying very much the quality if my life. I know this makes me sound like a dick but while you're getting/staying informed over the next three days i'll be at the food and wine festival in epcot.

    I just figured it out. This guy works for the ceo in the OP

    [edit] before guy takes me seriously, that was a joke as I stated earlier in the thread Westgate has a timeshare near Disney.


    Also, as I said earlier, I have timeshare right next to disney, I think I can safely say I have you beat on having a better quality of Disney life than you, so lol @ trying to pretend you're better using that as an example.
