Nah i will scream at anybody who don't vote in Nov

Its compulsory to turn up to vote in Aus but you dont have to vote for anyone. You can spoil the paper or just leave it blank, no one cares, as long as you et signed off as showing up.

Most of us do participate though, for good or bad.

oh for sure I'll give my friends a hard time, but it is their right. I know several people that have thought out, principled reasons for not voting, which I respect a lot more than the much more common lazy/apathetic/don't care/didn't know. which again, it's their right to be ignorant.

It's everyone's right to be selfish, oafish louts, but that is not the same as it being right.

A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 29 August 2018 00:57 (seven years ago)

I know

flappy bird, Wednesday, 29 August 2018 01:05 (seven years ago)

Yeah so this isn’t controversial then

faculty w1fe (silby), Wednesday, 29 August 2018 01:08 (seven years ago)

"I know several people that have thought out, principled reasons for not voting,"

really, fuck them. I don't think there's any excuse for not voting

No effect will give an electric guitar the emotional power of a banjo

faculty w1fe (silby), Monday, 3 September 2018 19:27 (seven years ago)

you are king of this thread lol

imago, Monday, 3 September 2018 19:30 (seven years ago)

Thanks!

faculty w1fe (silby), Monday, 3 September 2018 19:34 (seven years ago)

Im so ready to poll “which has more emotional power, the harp or the banjo?”

Hunt3r, Monday, 3 September 2018 19:34 (seven years ago)

do it

the late great, Monday, 3 September 2018 19:40 (seven years ago)

ultimately for me it comes down to dueling banjos scene in deliverance vs the electric harp lick in that daft punk song (from discovery) and that’s a tough call

the late great, Monday, 3 September 2018 19:41 (seven years ago)

it would be far from the silliest POLL on these boards

Even the piccolo is more expressive than the banjo.

I love Brian Piccolo

The 'controversial musical opinion' thread is basically the same as a couple of others I've already read, and I've only been here a few years, fuck knows how often this has come around since the site opened.
There are lots of interesting things on there, but it's just a matter of time until it turns into one of those threads where two or three people are getting furious at each-other and everyone else has lost track of what they are arguing about.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:17 (seven years ago)

not controversial

People who use umbrellas when it's not raining hard--->trash.

one month passes...

A tragedy like the limousine accident in NY killing 20 people can only happen in the US because the US is the only country in the world dumb enough to allow and perversely enjoy having huuuge limousines - cars stretched way out of proportion to fit in way more people than is possible otherwise - as big as carrying 20 people on board driving around. No other country I have ever visited (most EU, Asia, Africa) would allow for such a vehicle to ever hit the streets, y bcz common sense. It's the supersize big mac version of a fucking car. What the fuck are you thinking America.

In the UK those things are booked for Asian weddings and school proms all the time.

suzy, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 20:27 (seven years ago)

"double-decker bus accident" might get some hits on google

Not just the categories you named suzy but yes

terry gross sounds generally dispassionate.

andrew m., Tuesday, 9 October 2018 20:38 (seven years ago)

if I had to guess I would guess that huge unwieldy cars like those limousines get in fewer than average fatal accidents because people tend to be more careful when they're driving awkward cars

but I am not a stretch limo statistics expert

iatee, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 20:42 (seven years ago)

Plenty of ludicrously huge limos full of drunk people running round Sauchiehall St on a Fri night.

Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 20:47 (seven years ago)

Stretch Humvees are pretty hilarious, even with the gun turret.

I am seriously weirded out that a thousand people went to the limo crash vigil.

Yerac, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 22:28 (seven years ago)

high schoolers cuttin class, drinking down by the limo crash vigil

then you turn left. if you see the limo crash vigil, you've gone too far.

See you me and Julio down by the limo wreck

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 22:38 (seven years ago)

Limo crash vigil? I 'ardly know 'er!

their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial mansion, overlooking the limo crash vigil

for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 22:48 (seven years ago)

Streets used to be named for the place they aimed at. Thus Limo Crash Vigil Street, if you followed it nine miles, brought you to the Limo Crash Vigil.

for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 22:55 (seven years ago)

we were somewhere on the edge of the limo crash vigil when the drugs began to take hold

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a limo crash vigil must be in want of a wife.

riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to the limo crash vigil

people who say "individual actions towards preventing climate change don't matter!" when they are told that reducing meat consumption can help curb global warming are actually just weak willed pussies who are scared of eating vegetables

crüt, Saturday, 13 October 2018 06:24 (seven years ago)

People say "individual actions towards preventing climate change don't matter!" ?

everything, Saturday, 13 October 2018 06:36 (seven years ago)

i wouldn't say individual actions don't _matter_, but it is a bit of a pie-baking response.

dub pilates (rushomancy), Saturday, 13 October 2018 06:38 (seven years ago)

what the hell is a pie-baking response
