So your what 87 then.

Or perhaps your just lazy? had more moaning to do on line? couldn't real care either way and just like trolling?

heh, still just under half that age.

Indifferent, not apathetic. no more than usual (tis a relatively new thing for me, especially politically). Oh I care alright and am just getting to grips with trolling (I obviously have a long way to go). What's your excuse?

Fuck that, i have employees that work for me. You know doley with a job.

Very disappointing to me that so many didnt vote.
But I think a sign of how hated politics and politicians are.
My view is that if you dont vote twice in a row, you lose your ticket. You can get it back if you do, say, military service or something.

You can keep the ticket. This ride is broken down anyway.

I think politicians should get the exact proportion of the votes they win. If 20% of people don't vote - we should by theory have 20% less politicians......or they should get 20% less money.

Thats what happens in the "real world" when people lose confidence in you.

Awwww, you're all heart. I have a tear trickling down my cheek... albeit that's probably empathising with your employees

Yes, there are things we don't like. Let us ban them.

Why don't you reds just cut to the chase and use force to install the government of your choosing

[oldrider]

Do you have a better way?
Nothing that you say is anything more than sour grapes.
The fact that you don't personally agree with the result is hardy an indictment on the system.‎

Yes I do actually believe there are better ways but they are just my personal (and obviously minority)opinion.

Sour grapes? Why? You are the ones who have to live with it! I will be just a passenger as I am now!

Disappointed rather than sour grapes, I would prefer to move off into the great unknown knowing that you were all in sound safe hands in a world full of opportunity and comfort .... Utopia would be nice!

My wife and I believe our generation has experienced as close to Utopia as it could get, unfortunately we didn't leave it that way for those following!

Hate it when that happens .... sour grapes? never .... disappointed? Absolutely!

Old rider, Whoa back, what you have said is way too deep for those on this forum.

Why do voters care if others don't? Doesn't it just increase the chances their candidate will get in?

Why do voters care if others don't?

I am sure there is a similarity there with the ATGATT crusaders.

If thats an option I want a fancy uniform with a lot of braid, on of those BIG hats, a sash, many medals, a sword and a gold plated AK-47. and a fleet of pimped out Chevy Suburbans (armoured, natch) for me, my mistresses and my entourage, and my guards

Bling to you. I feel the same way.

I grew up in a New Zealand where everyone had a job.

State Housing was high quality, and coal, firewood and electricity was plentiful and cheap, so we were never cold.

We had the best health system in the world, and we rewarded ourselves with free universities, which we paid ourselves to study at.

Pensions were generous and a leg of lamb cost about 20 minutes pay, so we ate well and were possibly the healthiest people on the planet.

Me, and those of my generation have now created a new world.

We have created massive wealth for some, but send 250,000 kids to school each day from families entirely dependent on welfare.
Our health systems creak and are out of reach for many.

We reformed everything, and somehow lost of touch of what had made us happy and wealthy.

I don't know the solutions, but I look at what we are building nervously.

We seem to be sitting back while our governments quietly build themselves the tools of tyranny, comforting ourselves that only the bad have something to fear.

I expect my Grandchildren will be tracked at every move, will have their opinions controlled and censored, and will exist only to ensure the state gets its pound.
