Re: SHOULD CRIPPLES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

I agree with Republican Party chairman Rush Limbaugh that we need individual responsibility. If retards don't wanna be retarded, they should straighten themselves up and get an education.

It might be fun to watch cripples voting, especially when they fall down in the voting booth & hurt themselves.

Interesting thought, brother. Down here in Wacko, Texas, I've seen a bumper sticker:

Hire the handicapped. They're fun to watch.



Aside from that, you can also stick post-it notes on the seat of their pants that say "Kick Me!"

Re: SHOULD CRIPPLES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

The Holy Bible (KJV 1611) has spoken on this issue, and the verdict is unmistakable: cripples, queers, women, fornicators, cult members, the poor, and other assorted undesirables should NOT be allowed to vote. What is it about the Holy Bible's interpretation by qualified experts that is so difficult to understand?

Disgusting.

Was Terri Schiavo able to vote while she was in the hospital? Did her husband fill out her absentee ballot? Inquiring minds want to know. How much of a mental disability do you need before you lose your right to vote? Who decides?

I firmly believe that anyone who is unable to wipe their own ass shouldnt be allowed to vote. End of story.

Re: SHOULD CRIPPLES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

Of course a catholic would like cripples, they, like catholics, are notorious perverts. Proof: just look at how many midget and amputee porn sites there are.

hahahahahhaahaha. your the funniest one on the board. but its a close call.
are you 12? how is that a valid arguement? thats like saying: whites are notorious perverts. proof: just look at how many caucasian porn sites there are.
because one cripple or midget or amputee or whatever 'sins', we have to write off anybody with a disfigurement?



Hold on a sec there Jeb, you have a beard. so does.....OSAMA BIN LADEN! somebody call homeland security

Re: SHOULD CRIPPLES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

Someone has invented a special pencil for cripples that will make it easier to fill out voting forms and job applications:

Easy Writing For The Disabled

You may not put much thought into it but it takes a symphony of small muscles in your hand to operate a pen/pencil. For some people this is beyond their ability so designer Oskar Daniel set out to create a pen the Easy Writer.
A pen or graphite tip is inserted into a small hourglass shaped holder which provides all the support. The rubberized knob makes it easy to grip with your palm to move the pen. Effort is powered by the arm instead of the hand. It may not be the best solution since typing would be easier but there’s something personal about seeing your own writing.

You are very kind to extend that courtesy. I am of the belief if a person cannot comprehend the ramifications and implications of the voting process, they should not be allowed to vote but should in turn have a vote entered y proxy of their local Pastor. If the person appears to a Pastor to be weak minded, the Pastor automatically gets the Proxy. The idiot can be sent into a mens room and flip the handle. As far as they'll know, they voted. If they want, there is a giant roll of paper available to make notes on.

Re: SHOULD CRIPPLES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

The problem with cripples is that if they were to vote, they would want tax-dollars to be spent on themselves. We do not see hard-working Wall Street bankers crying out for tax-dollars for themselves and they have a far finer idea of how finance works, whereas cripples, at the bottom of the pile, have little or none.

It's common sense. (May I take this opportunity to ask everyone reading this to vote Republican?)

Re: SHOULD CRIPPLES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

Why, yes cripples should vote. But I also think we should consider the rights of another segment of our society who have been denied enfranchisement.

Animals. Of course, I don't mean any common beast, but surely the higher end creatures such as primates, dolphins, elephants, chepalopods, corvidaes, squirrels, dogs, cats, pigs, whales, sheep, parrots, monkeys, rats, and spiders deserve the same rights as we do.

I take it you'd have us upen all the zoos and let the animals roam free? You ceartainly are a heartless little b---ch. Are you going to offer to pick up my salary when all the zoos close down and there's no more jobs for zoologists?

Re: SHOULD CRIPPLES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

If you'd like According to Jesus, I have to give to anyone who asks.

Matthew 5: 38-42"Here's another old saying that deserves a second look: 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.' Is that going to get us anywhere? Here's what I propose: 'Don't hit back at all.' If someone strikes you, stand there and take it. If someone drags you into court and sues for the shirt off your back, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. And if someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.


38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away

Re: SHOULD CRIPPLES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

We have a government by representation and cripples don't represent me. They should not be allowed to vote.

But you don't represent cripples either. Representation is meant to be about each individuals vote representing that individual. If cripples are allowed to vote, their vote is meant to represent cripples, not you. The whole point is that they get their say and you get yours.

Your vote doesn't represent your neighbor, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to vote - Wouldn't it defeat the aim of a democracy?


I'm not necessarily for or against it, but keep the following in mind:
Where the line is drawn?
You may think it is unfair for the cripple to get an equal say despite being less able to make a well-informed decision or really have any idea about the actual implications of their vote, but you are not as qualified to know what is best when compared to an expert in politics whos IQ far exceeds your own and has had a lot of experience. Why should you et an equal say to someone who is far more aware of the potential effect of his vote?

I know for a fact that some people just vote exactly the same as their parents did just because that is the party their parents voted for, as well as many other people who vote without much thought into who they are actually voting for. I would vote based on policies, so it irritates me that people i know would just waste their vote without any thoughts about it on voting on one party for what seem to me like stupid reasons to vote for that party.

So, we could say it is unfair that stupid people, uneducated people or just easily mislead people should not be allowed to vote, since intelligence seems to be one of the factors at play we shall make a minimum voting I.Q requirement of at least 110, their say matters more than the people with an I.Q below 110, right?
Does that sound democratic to you?
It shouldn't.

Once again, i am neutral on the subject but think that the above is not being considered enough.

Re: SHOULD CRIPPLES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

Friend, it isn't what you or I think that matters. It's what God thinks.

He obviously hates cripples.

[salvation-in-a-can]

Re: SHOULD CRIPPLES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

Cripples should be allowed to vote, but not in referenda which do not affect them.

So, for example, if there is a vote on whether a bouncy castle should receive public funding, cripples should not have any say in that.
