You mean quoting your post specifically and repeating your exact words is “the opposite of what you actually said”? Please, by all means, explain how that works. You’ll notice that I’m being extremely careful to only quote your own exact words of praise for Dunn.
I get 3-4 letters per week from Cox Communications that are labeled “IMPORTANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION!” but they’re all just mass-mail marketing bullshit. I learned after the first 2 not to ever open another one.
A tear-away envelope thing like that marked VOTER REGISTRATION VERIFICATION might have a 50% of getting opened by me because I really care about voting.
For the general population, not so much.
Yes, and here’s a citefor it being compulsory to register. It’s an older article, but it describes the transition to the current individual registration system. I’ve never actually heard of anyone being punished for not registering, it sounds like you’d have to actively refuse more than once, rather than just forget or whatever.
It’s a simple system of returning a form the local government send to you, or filling the same form out online.
I said, repeatedly and clearly, that his shooting at the fleeing car should be considered attempted murder. For some reason you are lying about that, and saying that I consider it to be self defence, despite me repeatedly telling you otherwise.
It doesn’t seem a difficult thing to comprehend, and I’m frankly at a loss as to why you can’t grasp it. I mean, it couldn’t possibly be that you understand just fine but are lying about what I say?
You think people from Chicago are unfamiliar with how blacks and whites exist together? Chicago!?
You post some dumb ass shit, but this is like another level of dumb as fuck.
I reserve judgment on the dumb-as-fuckedness of either you or WillFarnaby, but I notice that you’ve left out three words that completely change the meaning of what he said.
What does this have to do with my posts? I quoted you, very specifically and clearly. I haven’t posted anything about you except your specific words of praise for Dunn. You praised Dunn, a convicted murderer who shot at fleeing children, as “the sort of people normal people want around them”. It’s a fact that you said this about convicted murderer who shot at fleeing children Michael Dunn. I pointed this out because it seemed hilarious after you feigned such of fence and horror at someone suggesting executing the treasonous.
You’re not even trying to deny it. You’re just trying to distract or something. But you can’t pretend you didn’t post this – it’s here on this board for all to see.
Face it – you said that convicted murderer who shot at fleeing children Michael Dunn is “the sort of people normal people want around them”. I’m quoting your exact words – the words you posted about Dunn.
Is it that hard to face your own reality that you must continue with these distractions? All you need to say is “Oops, that was incredibly dumb of me to post – I don’t believe that about Dunn and I wish I had never posted it”. Do that and I’ll never again mention your hilarious praise for this convicted murderer who shot at fleeing children.
I didn’t leave shit out. I quoted the whole post. You, on the other hand, left out like 80% of his post that makes the meaning of his post clear and the same with or without those three words.
Here’s the hilarious praise from Steophan for convicted murderer Michael Dunn, who shot at fleeing children, in case anyone missed it earlier:
Feel free to read the entire post, in fact, just to make sure I’m not missing any context. In the very next sentence, he says Dunn, that convicted murderer who shot at fleeing children, was “trying to improve their lives and those of the people around them”. Seriously, he really used those words to describe a convicted murderer who shot at fleeing children.
The difference with the English example is that everyone knows what the rules are.
That the GOP is rescinding registrations by surprise and keeping it secret only reveals their Boss Hogg intentions.
Actually, I think the next sentence deserves to be quoted in full (bolding mine):
Steophan, do you repudiate the above sentence? If not, then as far as any reasonable person could tell iiandyiiii is entirely in the right here.
Here is the Wikipedia article on compulsory voting. The United Kingdom is noticeably absent from the lists therein.
Do you not understand the difference between registering to vote and actually voting.
Look, I’ve had thankfully little interaction with you on this board, but, seriously, Lance Turbo has you pegged.
Yabbut compulsory registration to vote is different from compulsory voting. The former is requiring eligible voters to identify themselves as such, the latter is requiring them actually to cast votes in elections.
ETA: Monty, I may be missing something here, but ISTM that registration to vote rather than voting is what Steophan has been talking about since post #137. Was that a digression from a discussion of voting itself?
:smack:
Thanks. I dumbfucked on my reading comprehension. Sorry, Steophan.
I agree, they’re certainly not going out of their way to make the significance of this notification abvious. I think it’s quite reasonable to suspect that the notifications were designed to be overlooked.
If they had done the bare minimum of printing “VOTER REGISTRATION VERIFICATION” on the front, I would be just a little less suspicious of the sincerity of their actions.
Couldn’t the Georgia electoral office (or whatever it’s called) issue some Community Service ads on the telly/radio/local FB sites in the weeks before to inform the folk to expect an IMPORTANT REGISTRATION LETTER in the mail?
Honestly, with something so fundamentally important as the right to fucking VOTE in an election, any election, a stupid semi-junkmail letter arriving without forewarning reeks of something nasty and piscatorial.
:smack:
I see your “Bob” and raise you a BOB.
“Catch you with my voter suppression bag.”
“You may think I’ve gone insane, but I promise I will suppress voters again!”
There have been plenty of answers from “real-world liberals and progressives”, as oxymoronic as that phrase is, that have informed by knowledge of their beliefs. If your feelings are hurt because I call a spade a spade, perhaps that is evidence of inner guilt.
Read for comprehension.
