Congratulations, you have the right to bitch.

[chaosmedian]

But I have nothing to bitch about...

[aurasae]

Nope, but should you get caught up in a political debate...

[chaosmedian]

Should I get caught up in a political debate, I still wouldn't be the one bitching... but I suppose a right is a right.

awww. first election!

Heh, why does one have "rights" in a supposed free country? Shouldnt the term be pointless if the country is truly free?

Yay, Bushonomics with a 38% victory ftw. Way to represent Canada Harper. >.<; Not to mention that this election had the fewest voters in Canadian history.

But rights are relative. I think that the right that she was talking about was a social right; which wouldn't have much to do with the level of freedom in our country, as it's a right granted by the people, rather than the government.

[tearn]

heh, yeah thats how its suposed to work. But it doesnt. The government should fear its people not the other way around.

[queenofnothing]

um, the fact that we live in a free country is what gives us rights
you have the right to vote, the right to freedom of expression, etc
since it's not anarchy, we don't have complete freedom, you have the right to walk around topless, but you do not have the right to walk around outside without pants
mainly because people have the right to sit in a park and not be exposed to nudity
it balances out

Old saying. "Don't vote, don't bitch." It makes sense to me, in a way. Right was perhaps the wrong word to use, but it's really the reason that I voted in this election. Picking one out of the four candidates out here was next to impossible. There was no lesser evil. I ended up having to go with what party.

But hey, I can bitch my heart out now.

[chaosmedian]

I understand, missus. If you should want to bitch, you've already had your say.
