[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] So what? Voting's a waste of time anyway.

[/ QUOTE ] He's referring to you advocating the election of a coercive statist via the vote of a majority (lots + 1) [/ QUOTE ] I'm pretty sure that's not what he's referring to.

Vag is right, though that wasn't exactly what I was refering to. I'm mostly laughing at the idea that "Voting isn't moral, yet getting others to vote isn't". It's a ridiculous argument. Boy I wish I could change this flat tire, but that's wrong, maybe someone else will do it for me. [/ QUOTE ] How does that make Vag right? What I said is just a shorter statement of your last paragraph. Implicit in "advocating the election of a coercive statist via the vote of a majority" is the idea that voting is immoral, and that Borodog is a hypocrite for advocating others to vote for a statist. |

[/ QUOTE ] Vagos' point is right, but he wasn't right in his assumption of what I said. You are right also, and you're closer to what I said. Vagos, Yeah sorry man, it really wasn't a dig at you. I did it in another thread a while back and I just call people by their nicks all the time. I can see why being called "Vag" is a little bad, though in my head it is prounounced with a "ga" sound not a "ja" sound. Also, sorry for the hijack and if anyone wants to keep the "voting" topic open, we should probably take this elsewhere, he did ask nicely after all. Cody |

Cody [/ QUOTE ] Yea, it is pronounced "ga", just looked weird written out. Thanks anyways. Also, I'm hopeful Borodog will start a new OP about voting, Ron Paul and especially the moral issues as it pertains to voting in self-defense. |
