So, the Belgian community elections are over. I voted for the first time unwillingly! I was OBLIGED to vote because;
1 I'm a Belgian 2 I'm 18 That's insane!! Either I voted or paid a fine!! I don't think we should be forced to vote! Does this happen in your countries? Arrgh.

^ Erm, that didn't make any sense. Did you mean "Even if you don't vote..." Last I checked, the candidate who gets the most votes in a county wins that county and whoever has the most counties in a state (depending on their population) wins the state. How do you figure that makes our votes not count?
Oh, and I never said you didn't have the right, I just said you (general you, not you you, haha) should be silent because if you really wanted to change things you would vote or in the very least do something about it.  I'm tired of people ranting about people in office and then you ask them if they vote they say "No. What's the point?" Ugh. Stupidity at its epitome! Haha. If they really have a problem, what's better? Voting and having some impact or just sitting there and not having any impact at all?
