I'm not interested in politics so that's why I never bothered to vote. No-one in my family does.

My 18th birthday was just the same as any other birthday, I didn't want it to be any different really. Cake, family, presents, film watching, KFC tea. :D

^ No one here in my family votes either. We're pretty much disappointed with politics these days. So far, I have yet to see one that is worth my vote.

I vote. But not much. I'm not too pleased with the way U.S. Politics are now, so I'm waiting to see what happens.

*gasp*

GASPETH!

*dies*

All these people not interested in politics and/or voting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*dies again*

Yeah,....mmmm....I love you guys lots and lots...but not voting?!

*bursts into tears*

:'(

*sigh*

I suppose it's the Political Scientist in me...or maybe the activist, but I seriously find it sad and disturbing that so many young people are just NOT involved in politics.
Nothing against you guys, but it just seems all they do is run around complaining...and yet they do nothing about it. *sigh*
Sorry, my ranting of being angry at my generation for being ridiculously lazy. :P
Voting is your voice for wherever you're from. Considering the results of the election this November in the U.S....every vote counts.

:P Sorry....:blush: I'm just really passionate about this sort of stuff!

If you don't vote, at least make sure you're educated on all sides of the stories...and then maybe it'll make you want to vote. Trust me, your vote counts!!!

:yes:

EDIT:

If you're sad with politics in the U.S. (or in any country for that matter), again, I say VOTE!
Trust me, I hate certain things about this government and the political policies it's taken...TOTALLY not Democratic, but I can't get into it here...but if you want change, only your vote and only your voice can change it. It's frustrating and hard, I know....but, it does work.

*goes off on political rant* :P

Wow....:blink:....*ish scared*...

Hontestly though, surely it's better not to vote if you have no idea who to vote for or what's "right" than to vote for the sake of it? I mean, I have no idea who the hell to go for and it's not really so simple as read about the different political groups and then choose, because you also have to take into account vasrious past promises, deals etc and if the group in question has upheld all it promised. Any group that is all for Green and projects against animal cruelty would get my vote.....but can I be sure they will do what they say?

Politics in my opinion is like a seedy underworld.....don't trust it.....and my parents have been around longer than me to come to that conclusion, so I tend to listen and learn from them. They've seen a lot of bungled and broken promises and changes made for bad and good.

I will someday, if certain politics ever get their acts together and stop arguing with each other and get to the main point to tell the people what they'll do for this state, then maybe I will vote. I'm sorry but the race for new state Gov. turned into a mess. It was a very ugly.

Hmm....*thinks of a topic*.....

What was the first "18" film you saw, and were you 18 when you saw it?

I tend to agree with MontanaBohemian on the voting issue. I can see why politics today appears so cloudy, but I still believe the whole point of democracy is about hearing the vote of the people. Otherwise we could as well turn all power to a self-proclaimed dictator. There would be no point in having multiple parties.
Admittedly, I'm sick and tired of politics, but I would vote anyway, not for the sake of the parties, but to honor democracy, simply because it is my right to vote. Even if it means returning a blank ballot paper. ;-)

I've never seen an "18" movie. Here only adult movies are classed 18 movies, and I have never seen one.
