"Anyone" means "anyone;" perhaps you have a writing comprehension problem. Joel Send a noteboard - 25/09/2012 03:39:11 AM
I didn't vote for one position in one year of my voting lifetime. I have been voting for 18 years, say 8 positions on each ballot, so I voted for 143 positions out of 144.

Are you trying to be stupid or does it come natural?

For that matter, "every year" means "every year," but your last comments meaning was clear, albeit misstated. Your first was NOT; if you meant you voted in all elections EXCEPT the presidential one you should have said that, instead of that you voted for NO ONE (which is what you did say, deliberately or not.)

I am proud to not cast a vote for GWB's second term or moron Kerry. I'm sorry that you are a robot and have to vote for the D in every election, regardless of the quality of the candidate. I guess I just expect more.

I am sorry you are under the mistaken impression there are only two candidates in each race (or perhaps just the presidential race? ) As it happens, I voted for the Democratic presidential nominee in 2008, for the first time since 1996; he abused my gamble on his unlikely sincerity, and I will not repeat my error this year.

The statement was ambiguous, hence I was not the only one who read it as I did. Joel - 25/09/2012 05:19:46 AM 757 Views

I imagine much of Romney's charitable giving is to the Mormon Church. Tim - 23/09/2012 12:08:45 PM 751 Views
Almost all of my charitable giving goes to Mercy Corps aerocontrols - 23/09/2012 03:48:30 PM 712 Views
Let me see how I interpret this post... jh - 23/09/2012 04:56:20 PM 771 Views

Is the Mormon Church not part of society? But that issue is part of why I favor taxation. *NM* Burr - 23/09/2012 10:14:39 PM 281 Views
I'm part of society too. Does that mean I'm as worthy a recipient of money as the public purse? *NM* Tim - 23/09/2012 10:37:31 PM 329 Views
If you can get the IRS to certify you as a 501(c)(3), then yes. If not, no. *NM* Tom - 23/09/2012 11:07:13 PM 293 Views
To whatever extent that we should support charity beyond taxation, yes, you are, IMO. Burr - 24/09/2012 03:56:31 AM 677 Views

Let's look at this from a different point of view.... Jeordam - 24/09/2012 11:51:43 PM 669 Views
I covered that point of view in my response. Joel - 25/09/2012 03:31:38 AM 826 Views
I routinely do not read your posts (including this one)... Too long. Jeordam - 25/09/2012 04:12:24 PM 695 Views
