Secretely hoping that education improves soon or at least becomes mandatory for voting...In ancient Rome if you were not 30 you couldn't vote...any surprise the empire lasted that long?

BUD, this was a fine example
of the average persons knowledge of the english language. Sad, very sad.
Yes our educational system needs a serious overhaul!
After watching this little video I spent some more time reading peoples comments on it, like this one:
quote:
After viewing these videos, I no longer feel that women should have the right to vote. Their voting would actually have an adverse effect on our democratic society as their decisions are made on simple little gut feelings which require absolutely no thought whatsoever but instead are influenced 100 percent by some JimBob with a professional appearing demeanor and an official looking petition. With that said, abolish the nineteenth amendment, end women's suffrage.

Dear Yourfriendspirit,

Thank you so much for the reply. The funny and yet scary thing isnt just that people have no familiarity with the English language but also to the fact that they are willing to sign petitions on a topic they do not know. But also the fact that petitions actually carry power and laws can very well be passed that way. Scary...

Wise words, BUD.

Thanks, yourfriendinspirit. I actually am an American, though, and lived in the states up until almost a year ago. But Japan really does rock! I'm so glad I have the opportunity to live here, meet such nice people and learn so much more than I knew before about this amazing culture.
