"Why vote when you can stay at home and preach idleness?" AKA The "fuck voting" argument
So Nebris, former taxi driver, S&M cult-leader extraordinaire, and by far the craziest person who was ever on my friends list, lost his purpose yesterday. Here's the story:

My response to Neb's last comment stating that "when Obama breaks (my) heart, (he) will say 'I told you so.'" follows. It's currently screened, but I felt someone should see it.
Neb, I could care fucking less that you didn't vote for Obama. Obama won, with or without you. About 50% of my friends voted third party, and I respect them even more for doing so.
You stayed at home and bitched about your own self-important ass after preaching for years and years about the importance of gay rights, women's rights, animal rights, etc. You completely blew off Propositions 2, 4, and 8. And Prop 8 passed, by a slim margin, a difference of about 504,000 votes.
I don't give a flying fuck about your view of the electoral process. If you think it's bullshit, good for you, and frankly, I agree. But you went back on your word here. Even worse, your otiosity validated other people's apathy. It's sad to see such lackadaisical folks be swayed even further by your frivolity.
Seriously Nebris, you're just not worth it anymore. You've lost your weight, old man. Even Howard Zinn would have gotten off his genius hide and voted on these propositions. You had the chance, and you flaked out. I'm not sticking around to be further disappointed by you.
I hope you comprehend what I'm saying.
Obama didn't break my heart, Nebris. You did.
