Well I'll beg to differ with you canndo.
I'm not sure if you're trying to somehow defend UB's idiotic assertion or if you are just missing the point.

Voting rights are given to US citizens by way of our constitution (our government), the same way those rights can be taken away if you become a convicted felon.

It is your belief then that government or the Constitution gives us our rights?

I never said that. So, you are victim. You don't seem to see the difference between aiding the needy and wasting the money. It is simple.

If you waste money feeding the poor, you should stop......(not feeding the poor, you idiot) Stop the waste! Feed more poor with less waste.

You are so dense. You are no really following along anyway are you, just trolling, as you admit. Not your choice, poor boy. You lack compunction. As funny as you seem, I'm not even talking to you. I have discounted your ability to comprehend so fully, you have shown you are of the unfortunate we care for.

In the words of Dubya, this is a no bummer zone. You see, it's a site for cannabis growers, not crying whiners.

Wwwhhaaaaaaaa...he is trolling me...

Lighten up. Who lit the fuse on your tampon? I don't see why you whine so much. You want to come spread bs but cry when you are called a bull shitter. Tea bagger partisan bs...

Well, when you consider it took the states and the government to amend the constitution in order for women and blacks to vote and realizing the fact they can take away your right to vote, how else could one believe different?

Our founding fathers were talking about the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness shit for brains, voting is a legal right given to us by our constitution.
If we were born with your "said rights", kids like yourself could vote before the age of eighteen!
What's the matter, they didn't teach that in spell check 101

My God, does your father in-law have any clue?

I guess you missed the "We the People..." part if you think Government can amend the Constitution.

Well, I consider myself as part of the people but I can't amend the constitution.
Unless I was part of the 2/3 of congress or 2/3 of the states legislators who all vote aye.

Given, your vote doesn't really count anyway. Vote for whomever you want, nothing will change. There is no single person who can turn this around, no magical leader who can stop the immutable laws of mathematics. He/she doesn't exist.

People said the same thing in the late 70s. Yet, in 1982 the economy took off.

a poll "tax" can be defined broadly. "earning" the right to vote is easily defined as being somehow "taxed" to vote.

voting is a right. one does not need to "earn" a right, we are born with said rights.

Cmon Buckie, you claimed we are born with the right to vote, not true and you know it.
Go ahead and try to spin it but you can't elude the fact none of us can vote until we reach the age of 18, that is when we are "given" the right to vote. You also cannot deny the fact the government can revoke that right as well.

yeah, don't hold your breath for the day when the right to vote is "revoked".

driving is a privilege you can exercise at a certain age, voting is a right you can exercise at a certain age.
