Women's suffrage

Recommended Posts

you have to remember that this is an edited video too, there could have been more that said no than said yes to it. and he was kind of rushing them, maybe some figured it out and changed their minds. some guy walks up to you with a camera, pushes a paper into your face and say sign the petition, you are not realyl thinking about it.

 

 

 

Yep, there was only one person in the video who knew what it meant. He only told the girl after she signed the petition. :)

There were two people who knew what it meant wasnt there? When it said "smart chick" and she said "NO!".

im 19 and i have never heard that word before so im not going to vote because its stupid to vote without knowing what the heck you're voting for :-P

 

 

 

Maybe that's why we have such horrible leaders! Educate yourself, and get involved. There's no excuse for ignorance!

 

 

 

At least E_K has the courage to admit that he doesn't know what the word means, instead of trying to cover up by signing a petition that he doesn't understand :wink:

 

 

 

Maybe he shouldn't be ignorant, but at least he's honest!

 

 

 

 

 

Also, 7th-8th graders... I don't really blame them for not knowing the term. I was a star student in those grades, and I didn't figure out what suffrage meant until 9th grade at least, probably 10th.

This is of course part of the reason why petitions are so weak, even if they have a lot of signatures. Few people know what they are signing :( I advise everyone to read what they sign, and that doesn't just apply to petitions!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suppose the sad thing is that I know exactly why I knew it. Civilization II had a wonder called "Women's Suffrage" or somesuch.

 

 

 

 

Haha :x Me too! :D

For it is the greyness of dusk that reigns.

The time when the living and the dead exist as one.

WOW, some people are stupid.

 

 

 

Today outside the cafeteria, these people were asking everyone who walked by to sign this petition. I started discussing the meaning of one of their sentences with them (Hey, I don't like to sign something if I don't know what it means!) and they seemed surprised. It's amazing how many people assume that petitions, because they're rebelling against some sort of supposedly unjust authority, are automatically good.

Everybody hug and spread the love :D

I'm a woman, I'm a feminist and I don't want to end women suffrage. It would be better to put an end to the man-suffrage:

 

- no more wars

 

- no more competition

 

- no more indistinctness

 

- no more power-hungry people in politics

 

 

 

Women rule the world 8)

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. You are aware of what happened to this country (UK) when Thatcher was PM?

 

- went to war with the argies in the fawklands

 

- closed all the mines

 

- took all power away from trade unions

 

- introduced poll tax

 

- took away loads of state benefits and welfare

 

- sold off all council housing

 

- worst handling of the economy ever!

The only bad thing on that list is the introduction of poll tax, and just about any other party at that time was either run by hippys or idiots (communists).

You're right. I looked very carefully and didn't see where anyone that said communism is bad. I need to fix this.

 

 

 

Communism is bad!

 

 

 

(I can't let little innocents on TIF think that Communism is good, now can I?)

a good summary of the facts, if people can't figure out a politcal movement thats killed more than 50 million people in the last century is bad.

If people can't figure out the theory and a vague relation to a government it's bad.

Socialism actually killed all of those people. It was just in the name of communism.

 

 

 

Communism actually has no government...it's an anarchy which relies on the natural good in people. And people wonder why it will never happen??? :roll:

 

 

 

Ghost is right...Communism is bad. :wink:

I'm currently transitioning from a Wizard to a Mage and a Priest to an Archpriest. Lol both are nonexistant in the top 25. Hopefully I can change that. :D

communism is basically capitulation to the immediate needs of the people, do anything else in a communist goverment and you get a manifesto written against you. I agree with you though, it simply wont ever work, like my toaster, shoulda never bought a red one :shock: .

I do love how a lot of people have a warped view of communism. No, it will never work, but generally communism is not supposed to be associated with killing or censorship..

 

 

 

Communism involves everyone working together. Everyone is equal, and there is no government (a government would cause some people to be "more equal than others"). The communism in Russia and China would be more like.. dictatorship or fascism. It relies on human GOOD, not bad. :roll:

 

 

 

I like the IDEALS of communism, but I know that it will not work. Human nature is incompatible with communism :)

Yes, the ideals of communism are good, but because every attempt to make communism work has lead to a form of dictatorship or fascism (and the death of millions of innocent lives), I consider communism to be a bad thing.

I dont really want to go off topic here but i will one last time to mention that communism does work, has worked, and is working in remove settlements around the world. True communism has never existed in modern society. Just as murder is committed in the name of religion, so is killin in the name of communism, doesnt mean it truely is.

The difference is that large movements in religion have actually worked once, whereas large scale communism was even less effective than the labour party :roll:

True communism doesn't work. Any attempt to make true communism work has resulted in killing lots of people. Like I said before, it isn't communism necessarily the ideals of communishm that kills people, but every attempt to establish a communistic government has resulted in horrible, murderous regimes.
