insanity Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 How do you verify? By registering. The same way anyone gets verified to vote. Talk to Oregon, they seem to have figured it out pretty easily. "Oregon will mail a ballot to any citizen with a driver's license" Sounds like you need an ID there too.

Thrillho Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 ... ok, no-one has EVER said you don't need ID. Like, ever. Why does that keep coming up in discussions?

insanity Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 ... ok, no-one has EVER said you don't need ID. Like, ever. Why does that keep coming up in discussions?That's the main issue here in the U.S. regarding voting, a big argument you hear against it is that requiring I.D. is racist because poor people who wouldn't be able to get an ID are predominately black. I initially brought up the ID thing, in the first post about voting. Y'know, our founding fathers may have been on to something when they put restrictions on who could choose our leadersI'm a fan of the idea of having to own property. Period... end of sentence, before anyone tries to take that and turn it into white people that own property. Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Thrillho Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Just to address one small problem with that... so nobody who lives in an apartment, townhome, condominium, strata, mobile home or co-op would be allowed to vote? Nobody who rents a home or property would be allowed to vote? No-one who still has a mortgage would be allowed to vote? Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

No-one who still has a mortgage would be allowed to vote?If you rent from someone, no... you don't truly have a vested interest in that land. If things go south you can just up and leave without much of a punishment. Mortgage would be considered owning since you can't just up and leave without taking a major financial blow.Owning land is like owning stock, you have a small piece of a bigger object and you'd want that bigger object to do better and increase the value on your chunk.

So it's not the land that's important, it's the debt. A sufficiently large debt to the government or bank would suffice. Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

You can own land outright and have no debt.Renting, you don't truly have a stake since you can just up and move.To prevent further derailment we can go to another thread, or PMs. Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Leigh Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 My mother sent me a text message today She's never had a cell phone before and her first messages were to me and my big brother She lives on the other side of the country and with my work schedule being really wacky for being able to talk to anyone on the phone the fact that I can text her is kind of epic Also I woke up to my cat climbing up into my bed for the sole purpose of flopping against me for snuggles ^_~ Quote Link to comment

Thrillho Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 My daughter returned to MMA. There has been a lot of emotional turmoil lately, and she quit it rather spectacularly a couple weeks ago... ... but tonight, she came back, talked to her former-friend current-enemy now-friend-again, and we discussed motivation and self-determination and how everyone has that voice in the back of their head that says you suck and you can't do anything right, and how everyone has ways, their own super special secret ways, to punch that voice in the crotch. 3 Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.
