vote

A few days ago I stumbled over a Website that does provide a customized video to remember your friends to get off the couch and go to vote in a quite appealing way - watch: :D http://www.cnnbcvideo.com/index.html?nid=S9Waska4MNrlxvn2O_fPbzY0Mzkz&referred_by=12943488-wjxPLRx Like in the video...

...then there would be no need to vote for the June Language Award. He'd simply send down a lightning bolt to kill the nine losers. But it appears that ain't gonna happen, since it's been a week already. However, within the next three days, you can send your own personal lightning bolt in the...

Here's the challenge rules. Craft a truly well written post. Get it nominated (bribe people if you must) Get The Language Dictator to make your nomination one of the finalists (bribery won't help here) Get everyone to vote for it. (Okay, bribery works again now).And that's it. If you...

You will vote for the April Language Award. Well, some of you will anyway. Some of you maybe have already. (I can't tell for sure. My power is somewhat limited). You, on the other hand, have the power to elect the next winner of $20 in JREF merchandise. Use the power. I know you can.

Well, you can't. But you can elect the April winner of The Language Award. And unlike God, they are eligible for a wonderful prize of $20 in JREF merchandise. Now I know what the Bible meant when the Big Guy says, "I am a jealous God".

He still couldn't have voted for the winner in the April Language award. Only JREF members can do that. And yet, some people still ignore this precious freedom. Don't be one of them.

Only three days left in the March Language Award and fewer than 70 votes???!!!:mad: What's the deal? I mean, it's a close race and everything, so you really could make a difference to some aspiring wordsmith. Come on, folks, don't make me excercise my dictatorial options. It won't be pretty...

...about the March Language Award? Heck, there are several good nominees from the CT forum and best of all NO POETRY. Plus it's a very close race. I'm beginning to think you are all out to get me. You just want my dictatorship don't you! YOU'RE ALL IN ON IT! :alien011:

Mine is Vote for the March Language Award Champion Vote for the March Language Award Champion Vote for the March Language Award Champion Vote for the March Language Award Champion (Only three days to go, and it's a really close race)

I mean, why are so few of you interested in the March Language Award? Turnout reall is awful. I mean, just go vote, dammit, it won't hurt you. It's even a close race, so unlike US elections, ballot box stuffing won't decide it.

Assuming that Bush was eligible to run in 2008 would you vote for him?

Seriously. Actually, I wish this were mandatory. You flunk, you stay home on election day.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/06/AR2007030602181_2.html A strange thing happened yesterday when Sen. Paul G. Pinsky (D-Prince George's) introduced a resolution to honor John C. Mather, co-winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in physics. Two senators -- Janet Greenip...

"Iranian president: "U.S. governs by coercion" You should elect a just and fair president who rules as a nice and trustworthy guy, like President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad! :rolleyes: Pope embarks on mission to boost Christian unity After that, he's going to bring peace to the Middle East and...

Enjoy a democracy others can not.

The act that would set standards for treatment of illegal combatants. House passed it September 27, 253-168 (12 abstentions). Only 34 Democrats voted in favor of it. Link. See how your congressman voted. After a late amendment was defeated today, the Senate is expected to pass a nearly...

What do we gain by having a vote? It seems to me that what we gain depends upon what we invest. If the vote is not accompanied by an investment of time and intellect directed at comprehending our self and our world then the vote becomes somewhat like our vote as to what is the best football...

ok....never posted a poll before, so i though i'd give it a go :D Nice and simple, putting any political leanings to one side (yeah right :) ) and answering the question; Iraq in 2015......what's it going to be like? slip on your best mystic's hat, get swilling the tea leaves, and prodding...

ok....never posted a poll before, so i though i'd give it a go :D Nice and simple, putting any political leanings to one side (yeah right :) ) and answering the question; what do you think the end result of the Iraq war will be? A somewhat vague question sure, but give it a shot.....

But... The Speaker-in-Waiting doesn't know what her party's going to do when they take over the House five months from now? Link

OK, so I heard this program on BBC Radio 4 about Climate Change. It made the claim that most people don't really know how much global average temperatures have increased in the last 100 years. So I wanted to do an unscientific poll of my own. Please don't Google the answer, just your best guess...

If a robot with artificial intelligence ran for public office, would you consider voting for it?

Political activism at work To their credit, a couple of Kos Kidz actually raise moral issues over this tactic. Others, not so much. The money is on Sen. Graham at the moment.

Are there any posters out there who would vote against their principles? What got me thinking was the debate about the increase in fee of the BBC license in the UK. I don’t believe that the license fee in the UK is fair. It forces people to buy the license (if they have a TV) whether...

I've just been reading a report by the BBC of statements from Luxemburg’s Foreign Minister regarding his country’s up coming referendum on the EU (not a) Constitutional Treaty. Luxemburg is to go ahead with a referendum despite the fact that the current treaty cannot be ratified. But een...

The Kuwaiti parliament has voted to give women full political rights. The amendment to the Kuwait's electoral law means women can for the first time vote and stand in parliamentary and local elections. It was passed by 35 votes for, 23 against, with one abstention. Council elections are due...

Since the U.S. has gone politically conservative, and Dubya can't run for President again, I would like to suggest a winning Republican team for the next Presidential election - Quayle/Bush. Just think of the entertainment value. This would be a far better comedy team and Martin/Lewis...
