In other news, I'll soon be off to engage in one of the greatest blessings given to anyone lucky enough to live in the Western World. I shall be going down to the polling station to act upon my right to the franchise. A good day.

Labour Labour Labour Lab-

I don't know where my nearest polling station is, and the person who's showing me is taking AGES to get here.

[Valoo.]

Been obsessively playing Skyrim for the past...month. Played through it four times. Oh and by the way, if anyone gets it, never bother leveling your character in illusion. It ****ing sucks.

Four times? I still have my first file from like, Christmas, and I still have a crap load of stuff to do (I will complete you sometime Companions quest-line).
I don't think I'd ever be motivated enough to do it all again, took me long enough to get that bloody Dragon armor the first time :x

[Hox]

The companions quest line is fun, it doesn't take very long though. My favorite was the dark brotherhood questline. Plus when it's done the last quest infinitely repeats so you can get cash out the wazoo which is cool.

I wouldn't vote for the Labour party even if I had a fun pointed at my groin.

[Valoo.]

Once I got beast form, I just went gallivanting around Skyrim as a werewolf, and sort of... forgot to go back. I'm in dire need of cash after splashing out on Proudspire Manor and its upgrades, so I might try and finish the dark brotherhood next. Plus I'm sick of those assassins coming after me all of the time.

what if it was a gun What if it were pointed at your head?

Not that I claim to know anything about politics, and even less outside my home country. It's just sort of America's Thing lately, it seems. Information is becoming more available and we're becoming lazier about finding it.

Spelling fail on my part. However, I do think it is hard to put into words how much of a **** (that's cunt for anyone in doubt) the Labour party candidate running for London Mayor is.

[Phlogiston]

Nah, I caught that -- I was just joking around.

As for putting said candidate's... unsavory qualities into words -- describe the candidate's platform and record, I guess?

I'll pick up a few just in general.

1. During his eight years as Mayor, he undertook more visits to Havana than he did some London Boroughs.

2. These trips to Havana (a country with a shocking human rights record) and Venezuela (a virtual dictatorship) were paid for with Taxpayers money. These include shoes bought by the mayor for himself, and hundreds (possibly even thousands) of pounds spent on hosting Cuban and Venezuelan officials when they visited London.

3. He is a 9/11, 7/7 etc. apologist.

4. He once referred to a jewish journalist as a "concentration camp guard". The journalist told him he was Jewish and that he was offended. The response of the mayor? To repeat the insult. The journalist's crime? Asking him whether he had enjoyed his night at a party (funded for by the taxpayer) to celebrate the anniversary of the first MP coming out (yes, really).

5. In recent times, he has stated that Jews won't vote for him because they're rich. He has also been recorded as using the terms "Jews, zionists and israeli" in an interchangeably perjorative manner.

6. Invited the radical Islamic cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi to Britain to give a speech. Al-Qaradawi is in favour of female genital mutilation, the stoning of homosexuals, and believes that suicide bombings in the context of the Israeli-Palestine conflict are justifiable.

7. Set up a deal with Venezuela in which we purchased their oil on the cheap and in return gave them advice on things such as recycling. In short, London was paying a low rate for a vital natural corporeal resource, and in return giving poverty stricken Venezuela nothing of actual value.

8. Has compared his political rival in this race to figures such as Hitler.

9. Has said that we should "hang a banker" every week as a response to their role in the world financial crisis.

Has told 85 seperate lies during this mayoral campaign alone.

The amazing thing? He might actually win.

Ken should win. Boris is annoying. This is from a 13 year old

Reminds me of when the former leader of our country said that people pointing out the massive flaws in over-spending should "just go and commit suicide".

I don't even know who's running for president in my country.

Oh well.

[Phlogiston]

Oh well.

That's because it's actually their wallets. Especially in the case of the Republicans.

So, I just took my biology final and 90% of it was on material we hadn't covered in class. What in the ****.

Is it wrong of me to NOT care about politics?

I don't think so. I don't care about it either.
Does anyone notice the secret words in this? I see it clearly...O_o

No.

I don't care too much about politics on account that the government are stupid and greedy.

Hell I don't even vote because I can't trust what they say.

[Geekachu]

Good show. Who did you end up voting for?

Ken should win. Boris is annoying. This is from a 13 year old

Yeah but Boris is bringing wiff-waff home.

It's always good to be informed about what's going on outside your home, even if it's not particularly that interesting.

So I had a terrible day and just want to chill with someone, but whoever I ask keeps moaning that they have final exams tomorrow. :u

If you are under 18, no.

It's that time of the year.

Hell I am meant to be doing my essay right now but I haven't even started it yet.
