How Far Does This Voting Thing Go?

Tweet

In recent weeks we have had elections in the US and the UK, as well as other locations around the Globe. Pro democracy advocates will have us believe that it is our right to vote, in fact following the sacrifice of others in past war we are obliged to vote - anything less would amount would be the same as vandalising the gravestones of the dead.... SOOoooooooooo. After voting in a recent election, I was then compelled to cast a vote following an episode of X FACTOR.... what else was I to do, after all did my Great Grandfather not die fighting oppression so that we could vote for our favourite deluded wannabe. It doesn't stop there, the blood spilled on battlefields in far away lands was my incentive to vote in this years "Cutest Baby 2012" How far does this voting thing go on? Do I cast my vote and select my choice in the 'Least Masculine Lesbian, Regional Finals 2012' or do I have a way out? Moral pressure is no different to the oppression that we have fought for generations. We all realise how fortunate we are to have the right to vote. The halfwits that repeat the phrase "People died so you could vote" should remember that Saddam Hussain made voting compulsory, he also made it compulsory that everyone should vote for him - I think he missed the point of democracy there a little bit. However voting is compulsory in other countries around the world - Argentina, Australia and Brazil to name just a few. Compulsory voting is a mockery of the dead and their sacrifice. What is being missed and is also overlooked by sheeplike repeaters is that A RIGHT TO VOTE IS ALSO A RIGHT NOT TO VOTE - Simply offering somebody the option of doing something automatically gives them the option of not doing it.... You do have a choice when it comes to voting, you don't have to because it is a choice
