"Thinking is hard, but don’t worry, there is always someone willing to do it for you. Be they preachers at their pulpits, the talking heads screaming vitriol on the idiotbox, the establishment and the rebels, the communists and the capitalists. Truly, we are fortunate to live in a world filled with people so generous as to relieve you from such a weighty responsibility as 'thinking for yoursel'”." -The Gospel of Jalen 2:18

[welaughindoors91]

[burnabee12]

People need to behave as citizens in a democracy and must be informed. Therefore, we need education and not rising tuition fees that will prevent the low-income individuals of our country to have no chance in this world.

[MIKE2513]

this should have been on a commercial that encouraged people to vote..it would have raised some heads..

[scootigger]

I totally agree!

[loopholezz]

amazing yet once again

[agewise]

Thanks again for posting real entertainment.

[a15hah]

ouuuchh

[speckledhound]

They should make everyone listen to this who doesn't vote, never "why", and always accepts the status quo... because it is what it is.

[UNoThat1Dude]

vote? so they can cheat? um where you been the last two elections? the person who won never made it into the white house, all over the news and everything, but nobody did anything about it, voting is not the answer. read about it

[gimmee411]

so is the answer in not voting at all.y do ppl refuse 2 use a right that they've been given. and if ur black or a woman, den ppl actually died 4 u 2 vote. jus do it and let ur voice b heard

[UNoThat1Dude]

I didn't say that,I never said don't vote I'm just saying that I'm simply saying voting alone isn't the answer... if your voice doesn't matter then what? what about the people who killed the people that died so we could vote? They are the problem, americas voice is heard just the people in charge don't heed anything the citizens say... one example; the anti war movement is heard, but not heeded. voting is just a small step its more to being involved than checking a box. PEACE

[broootalturjo]

I'm a Metalhead, but I love this man, I just love him.

[kashmirite]

good

[r4tmfan]

Those who are willing to give up a little bit of freedom for a little bit of security, deserve neither and will lose both

-Benjamin Franklin

[chesswizard]

haha - Almost -

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Ben Franklin.

Awesome quote

[LoisNerdyLane01]

@r4tmfan I have to make an argument about the Mosque at Ground Zero for my law team, and you just provided me with a very valid point. THANK YOU! :)

[Amandalyn143]

@LoisNerdyLane01 first it is not at ground zero. theres your argument right there its blocks away. Freedom of religon is a freedom we have a right too. It was not muslims who took down the plane it as Terroist with a perverted idealism of a religion the same way a person can take catholism and begin a cult!! Sorry seeing people assume muslims were 9/11 terrorist piss me off. i can easily malipulate any versus from the koran or bible to pervert them and make them look violent. Its the delivery

[rydholm]

@r4tmfan Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

[PixieGrrl]

That poem is actually by rachel McKibbons

[OjoDeAngel]
