She always speaks kindly of you. Also she isn't allowed to vote, she's entitled to vote. Just as you are.

She sounds so well-spoken and like a person who really thinks through things...

Um... I'm an American, I'm not entitled to vote, it's my civic duty to vote. No one can take my right to vote away from me except me ( as if I committed a felony).

Robert Rambusch you may or may not already be aware of this but not everyone is entitled to vote. There are a few exceptions.

The point, of course, isn't semantics. The point is that she goes to the polls and makes what she thinks are reasoned, considered choices. And clearly, her reasoning is, well, faulty...

Jason ON Unfortunately people who commit felonies aren't always caught and also people who did nothing get prosecuted for felonies quite frequently so yeah people can lose their right to vote without doing anything wrong, whilst felons who simply got away with their crimes do get to vote.

Lily Alice Which doesn't make her choices at election time necessarily any worse than yours or mine. If she agrees with you does it make you an idiot or imply that you shouldn't be allowed to vote? Of course it doesn't.

Gosh, I bet you're fun at parties, getting all the jokes and sarcasm and whatnot.

Yeah, but you're looking at the fringes of the bell curve there ColiN DeWilde. For the vast majority of people, in America, have an inalienable right to vote. It's not an entitlement given to us by the government and it's not a right reliant on other factors such as land ownership, clean credit or marriage. 

Every American in this country, upon the age of 18, has the inalienable right to vote unless, or until, that right is revoked under very stringent conditions. Such as convicted of a felony.

Probably not. Of course parties have a sarcasm font (facial expression and tone of voice). Here it's either smileys or being psychic since I don't know people well enough to decipher tone of text.

And most states give felons their rights back except for a select few(I think there are 2 that won't give voting or gun rights back)

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
