OMG, I am laughing so hard I am crying....

Vodka. it is about climbing, the two best vodkas I have ever had were Titons and creator lake. Both are potato based, and 4 times distiled. Very smoooooooth, and all american.

OK, this is gross, but I will mix the vodka and gin in one hand, and a beer in the other. that is it.

Bourbon is good too. As are Irish, Canadian, and Rye whiskies. Vodka. Say it with me now, Voooooodka. Could we vote for vodka or gin? oops, sorry I missed the point. Is it a right or a privilage to vote for Vodka or Gin? and is it protected by the constituion?

Vodka shall not touch my martini. It is a sin. A proper martini must be gin, vermouth is optional, as is being dirty. Has anyone else tried the Cascade Distillery Gin? Pretty damn good. Very nice flavor, and a little more pungent than Sapphire. Though I haven't tried Ten yet. Alrighty then, I will give it a try. say it with me now Giiiiiiin!

ok I am really going to stop now and go back to work.

Fingers of Furry? No, way. It is all about the Vodka you use in your martini. No gin, no fruity froo-froo. Just chilled potato vodka, shaken, a half cap of vermouth just linning the glass with the excess tossed out. Shaken VERY well, and an olive or two. Oh, perfection.

You need some children to take out...

Voting is a right. Absolute. When I referred to at as a privilege I was wrong. As to why we need to register to vote? Well, um, I never really thought about that. You register so they can keep track of you. You know, no voting twice, no voting if you are 14. etc. Yeah, daa. It is official; I used my brain way to much today if I could not answer that question. I need to do some work.

14th Amendment 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. There are many vague points left open in our constitution. But the 14th amendment in section 2, as I copied and pasted above, implies that the right to vote can be revoked. As to what exactly is “due process” again is the vagueness or our constitution. http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html

You are coming at me to fast. I can not compose on line. First lets go back to is voting a right or a privilege. Then I will go off line and compose my thoughts on this new question. First of all I am not a lawyer. At first I implied that voting is a privilege, as I have always thought it was. However, the 26th amendment clear sate voting is a right. Amendment 26 - Voting Age Set to 18 Years. Ratified 7/1/1971. History 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. However, the constitution is extremely vague, in many areas and that allows for interpretation by our courts. According to this lawyer dude voting is a right and not a privilege even though it can be revoked for dishonorable discharge from the military and for convicted felons.

Vodka for me please.

It works.

Thank you for getting us back on topic.....you make some very valid points. Would I be wrong in thinking that it is a conflict of interest to be able to vote only were the gravy train is coming from? How does that better our country? 50% of a two party democracy is voting people out, or voting for more money for me. Ours is not a perfect system, so it does need to be continually tweaked. However, we must show prudence on how and where to tweak our system to make it work well. We SHOULD vote for what we feel is best for America, and we should our choices for our leaders accordingly. However, there will be those who vote for whoever is going to fatten their own pocketbook. That can not be helped. I guess if we disallow ALL those whose income source is the government then we are saying ALL whose income source is from the government are only fattening their own pocket books. AND it might be true that all whose income source is from the government are not thinking about what is best for America, however, once we open the door to revoke their voting privileges, then we will have tweaked the system and the repercussions will be far reaching. More that I am willing to risk. I suppose your voting privledge would only go away while you are on a govy check.....once you stand on your own feet again....you get to vote again.... In hindsight and after the non sprayer commentary.....it does sound like a fairly fool hardy endeavor. I just came out of a meeting with a lawyer. In that meeting I asked him, “What is the difference between a right and a privilege?” His answer was as I thought; a right can not be revoked where as a privilege can. So I asked about the right to vote, and if is it a right or a privilege. He pulled a copy of the constitution and showed me at least two amendments on the RIGHT to vote. Voting is clearly a right. It would take a constitutional amendment to revoke that right by a specific group of people. However, amendments are extremely vague in order to allow for interpretation by the court and legislation. Therefore if we were to revoke the voting privileges of one group for say their primary source of income was from the government, then it would be very easy to extend that to say someone who uses public lands for personal adventures such as climbing. However, the more important point he brought up was the original spirit of our constitution was to protect the people from a federal government that might be to strong. I feel revoking voting privileges of any group of people would be going against the original spirit of our constitution.

I think we need to get back to the original question of voting privileges. (I have not read all 5 pages of this thread.) Coming from the moderately right wing point of view I say it is a bad, a VERY bad idea. Voting privileges are extended to every US citizen over the age of 18. These privileges can be revoked for various reasons such as a dishonorable discharge form military service, or I think convicted felons are not allowed to vote, but may have their privileges retuned, not so sure on the convicted felon issue. My point is this. To revoke voting privileges based on source of income opens up a Pandora’s Box that should remain close. If we can revoke voting privileges based on the source of income then we can do revoke on other issues. I am surprised this suggestion might come from the right. I would expect it to come from the left because the left wing using the ACLU has manipulated the courts to write legislation. OOPs, there I go getting off the issue of voting privileges.

Yes, I have used pick up lines. Yes, they have worked for me. Next thread. Was it really worth it?

OK, so we all agree that was really funny. But I would like to know the truth, have you ever really used a “Pick Up Line” and if yes, has it ever worked? And the final question was it really worth it. For me, the first answer is no. Never used one, and the few times it was one and done it never really was worth it.

Nicely done, you concatenated the word concatenate.

I think global warming has affected your brain…
