Yeah, if voting is compulsory then all the morons would 'have' to vote and they probably can't even read. If they can read, they are not informed enough to make an educated decision. None compulsory voting is for people who give a damn. Those are the people I would want voting to begin with, who wants to be dictated around by uncarring masses (the people that don't vote)?

Read "The Republic" by Plato. Good stuff.

Is there any amount of voting that makes you able to give you your own title?
Like 2000 votes :D

Although it will take me a long time to reach that :(

[rant]That's the situation in my home country and you couldn't be further from the truth. It's even worse when it's a third world country, where the amout of illiteracy goes through the roof. Life sucks over there and it's not getting any better because people keep choosing assholes for presidents. I think we had a discussion about this back in DP... Those were the days...[/rant]

Getting back on topic, it'd be cool if we could get to choose our titles after so many posts, but again, that would encourage spamming. Besides, I think it'd be better if a custom title is assigned to special persons under special circumstances. Buzkashi/bukkake has had a whole thread dedicated to him, so I think he qualifies.

Heh, I just needed a side comment to go with the flag. :P

But yeah, voting is compulsary in Australia. We have a PM that everyone hates but he's been elected in parliament for 4 consecutive terms. It's either people are incredibly stupid or ignorant.

Heh, I have read Republic. I had to for history. :P

People are incredibly stupid and ignorant, Eldo...

Here in Holland it is the same thing.
People just vote what everybody else votes, and think it is okay then.
That way, nothing will change... but thats the world we're living in :D

I wish more younger people would vote in the US. Our generation is more libral than those old farts. I would like to see us change for the better. Or atleast my idea of the better. :P

now that i think of it, bukkake seems too harsh of a title for buzkashi. it would be too cruel. i jus wanted to point out how similar they sound, das all

Yeah, bukkake is too much. Court jester is also kinda denigrading, which is why Spam King or a variation is the obvious choice here.
