Possibly NSFW due to bad language, and a possibility that if your co-workers walked by and heard this, they might think you were a moron.

I don't want these people voting!

Sure lets bring back all those poll taxes and other barriers that used to exsist to keep people from voting, especially poor minorities.

I'm glad there isn't a spelling test for voting.

I think keeping stupid people from casting their vote would be a positive thing.

It would be a positive thing, and I'd normally jump on top of the pile that is ridiculing the feeble-minded. The only problem would be figuring out who gets to determine where to draw the "You're too stupid" line...

Obviously it would never happen. They could make votes weighted.  guy with phd 5 votes, hick like in the video 1 vote, graduate college 3 votes.

The problem is, on what basis does one decide who's stupid and who isn't?  It's an idea that might sound good in theory, but too readily exploitable in practice.

I have a fair share of Phd holders among my friends, and I wouldn't want any of those guys having 5 votes. Grin

Am I the only one this didn't shock? We can only hope they drink so heavy that they pass out and forget to show up at the polls.

I think there's a very good chance that "stupid people" are far less likely to actually vote than your average person.

Is she drunk or something?  She's slurring.

The driver of the motorcycle said something crazy.  It was silly speak.

It has to take some kind of skill to drive an atv with three people and a dog on it. Cheesy

Who read the title and didn't immediately know that this was going to be played?
