but captain red eye wants us to roll over allow it to happen.

you know what demographic is always voting like their place in heaven depends on it??

the fundies. the ones that are ACTIVELY trying to make our world worse by every important metric.

and that article right there is an example.

this is why i CANNOT throw my nuts away and stop voting... our world is shitty enough, and we need SOME normal, sane people voting.

if when you get older and decide to settle down and have kids, you'll learn that pregnancy and childbirth are complicated and often dangerous.

our first kid, my wife had a complication that could have killed her.

luckily, it went fine, but if she had been in an abortion- ban state and a complication came up which required termination of the pregnancy and they refused and she died...

my point being, dads and prospective dads in red states need to worry.
what a load of bollocks . on many levels

once you are of age and have kids, you will see... prrgnancy and childbirth are complicated and often dangerous.

if you had paid attention in middle school (o right, what do you guys call it? secondary school?) health class a couple years age, you might have learned that... but here we are.

maybe you have a rebuttal with specifics? it's not like you to simply go ad hominem while chickening out from a good- faith debate, what gives?

Statist Claim:
Voting is Consent​

Fallacy:​

If you vote, you consent to everything the state does. If you don't, you can't complain!

Response:​

Since outright slavery has been discredited, "democracy" is the only remaining rationale for state compulsion that most people will accept. Democracy has proved only that the best way to gain power over people is to assure the people that they are ruling themselves. Once they believe that, they make wonderfully submissive slaves. - Joseph Sobran
Herbert Spencer destroys these fallacies: see http://praxeology.net/Spencer-on-voting.htm. (DR)

The statists have it backwards. If you voluntarily go into a casino and lose your money, then you have no complaint, but if you did not go to the casino and someone comes out of the casino and robs you, then you can complain. It is the non-voters who have the most standing to complain. They did not endorse the game, they did not play the game, and yet it is imposed upon them anyway! The voters played the game, so if they complain it is just sour grapes - their side didn't win. [HB]

you don't choose to waltz into life as an adult.

your parents violently force you into it.

none of what you say makes sense in the framework we have... you might as well be talking about how a nitrogenous atmosphere is a poor choice or how staying within the third dimension is slavery.

better yet, you are the apparent plato's cave escapee coming to tell us of this third, stateless dimension...

but instead of telling us of the supposed third dimension, you just spout off about how two dimensions is inadequate.

do the terrence mckenna thing and cast a smaller net to bring out a tiny minnow of pithy explanatory power
