the whole population shouldn't be represented. people who don't follow politics and have no fucking idea what's going on have no business voting.
they do and didQuote:

don't you talk to me about democracy if you're an american
no, moron, it's better if only people who have watched the news within the last year, and have any concept of who is running and why, and give a shit at all, vote. you're arguing that the better system is the one where people choose at random out of fear of getting penalized, that's easily the stupidest thing anyone has ever said in the history of this forum. that's not "representing the views of the people" you might as well just flip a coin at that point.Quote:

Get the fuck out of here.
in a real democracy EVERYONE votes you dumb piece of shit
whether you agree with their opinion or not they have a right to vote and SHOULD vote
otherwise you end up with a sytem like america where a whole 1/3 of the population doesn't even vote and isn't represented, that's pretty much why it's compulsory here, so that it isn;t the farce that it is in america
no, in a democrazy everyone has the right to vote. if you're forcing them to whether they care/want to or not you're acting more like a dictatorship.
no-one is being forced to
it's just compulsory is all
and the reason it is because Australia didn't want to be the farce of a democracy america is
But they will force you to pay your fine for being a non-voter, Australia is one of the first world countries, but full of shit country due to racism, skin cancer, weird animals could kill people than other countries, annoying weather, etc.Quote:

I mean you have a country where only 2/3rds of the people vote and a country where everyone votes, which is the greater democracy?

Australia ranks like number one in voter turnout and america has only 1/2 to 2/3rds at best of people voting
that is a fucking shambles for a "democracy"
if people don't care who wins i don't want them muddying up the results with shitvotes
shitposter whining about people not shitvoting
if you got a problem with our democracy feel free to gtfo out it
I'm not in your democracy where only half to 2/3rd of people even vote
I'm in a much better one where we have one of the highest turnout of voters in the world and are the envy of other democracies because of it
Face the facts, almost everyone knows Australia is better than america
and who cares what YOU want? The point of a democracy is not about what YOU want, it's about EVERYONE having their say whether YOU like it or not.
Maybe you should move to one of those countries where everyone has to vote the way YOU want them to... it should not be up to you or just people with tvs how others vote
If you need tv to tell you who to vote for then that's your problem and sheepleness... but people without tvs should have their say too.
australia isn't even a free country
it's full of aggressive, invasive, venomous fauna
australia can't even control rabbits and toads, no wonder you all live in fear of spiders
everything is backwards even the seasons are the wrong fucking time of year
australia has virtually no clout in global policy
oh and you live in australia, i would be embarrassed to hell to call you my countryman
Australia is better than america
then quitcher bitchin. if every dumbass here voted we would've elected someone ages ago that would've turned the rest of the world, includign your isolated shitpot country, into a smokeing wreckQuote:

No dipshit
America was once a penal colony of England, just like Australia
a penal colony? link please
america was never a penal colony you retard
this is embarrassing i feel like i'm being tardtrolled into oblivion
well as long as lisa has to type alot more than me then i can claim it's backfiring
wow
it never ceases to amaze me how ignorant americans are, even about their own country
Historically penal colonies have often been used for penal labour in an economically underdeveloped part of a state's (usually colonial) territories, and on a far larger scale than a prison farm. In practice such penal colonies may be little more than slave communities. The British, French, and other colonial empires heavily used North America and other parts of the world as penal colonies to varying degrees, sometimes under the guise of indentured servitude or similar arrangements.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_colony
The British used North America as a penal colony through a system of indentured servitude. Convicts would be transported by merchants and auctioned off to plantation owners upon arrival in the colonies. It is estimated that some 50,000 British convicts were sent to colonial America, representing perhaps one-quarter of all British emigrants during the 18th century.[1] The British also would often ship Irish and Scots to the Americas whenever there were rebellions in Ireland or Scotland, and they would be treated similar to the convicts, except that this also included women and children.
so the 3/4 of colonials there due to mercantile pursuits and religious persecution don't even count?
nice try, but no.
america was a penal colony you retard
How embarrassing for you, yet againQuote:
