Who says that I won't? Or that I haven't already? That is neither here nor there. This is a forum in which things get discussed.
Being discussed =/= pretending it affects you.
Sorry, not lying. I've already explained why.
It hasn't affected you in any way, so if you claim it has, then you are lying.
It's an argument from ignorance fallacy.
Do YOU know how often some stupid legislation has been stopped cold before it even started because people are doing the same thing?
Based on the available evidence, I'd make an educated guess of 0 times.
This, of course would be a guess, since I do not know for sure. But I also don't know for sure that taking a **** on a wildebeest's vagina has never earned someone a college degree.
Just because you can make a fallacious argument doesn't mean it's a logically valid one.
You're welcome!
Taking steps and having those steps successful are two different things.
True. but taking steps that
aren't successful really just means "tough ****, the people have spoken and they disagree with you. Don't like it? You always have the choice to move."
Also a politician does not always reveal everything that they are for or against. What are you going to do about that? Especially when its an off the wall piece of crap legislation.
You rectify the situation the next time around. It's your own duty to become informed about what your local political are for or against If you haven't done your due diligence then you are at fault because ignorance is no defense. If they lie and claim they are for something when they are against it or vice versa, then it's on them.
While true there is nothing that says that we can't try and have a stupid piece of legislation stopped.
Of course not. Why do you think that's relevant to the issue I've been discussing?
Would your reps support bloombergs proposed legislation?
Probably. They are ****ing idiots. I voted against every one of the dickheads.
I have a pretty good idea.
Not directly, but I can extrapolate the assumption that they probably would form all of the other idiotic **** they have passed.
Did you ask them before they were elected?
Not about that issue, but it doesn't take a genius to guess where they might lean based on their stances on other issues.
Not every single little detail of how someone is going to be in office is ever talked about and covered...assuming that every politician will be honest of course.
I agree, but as I said it doesn't take a genius to guess where politicians might lean on most issues based on their stances on other issues. A politician I would support would be the type who would never vote for this. I'm in the minority politically where I live, though, so I have to accept that my
choice to live here means I am subjected to laws created by idiots who were voted for by idiots. I make that choice, thus I'm never a victim.
That's a silly assumption. It wastes time that could be spent on more effective means of creating change.
