Wasted Votes

original from early 2016

What is a wasted vote?
Often times, people will claim that when you vote for the Libertarian party that you wasted your vote. What is a wasted vote and what isn’t a wasted vote?

What would really happen if we didn’t vote for the Libertarian party?
There are 4 possible choices for where libertarians would be divided.
1. There may be a few people who would vote Democrat.
2. Some may vote Republican.
3. Most would probably not vote at all.
4. If a different 3rd party is available they may vote for that instead.

Should we just vote for the lesser of 2 evils?
Sometime you may hear something like, “The Libertarians don’t have a chance to win, just vote for my side because, he isn’t as bad as the other guy.” By this logic if someone loses they wasted their vote. There can only be one president, if the republican wins then, the democrats all wasted their votes and vise versa. Also like mentioned in the section above the libertarians would be split between both the democrats and the republicans (and elsewhere) so, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Stealing votes?
Sometimes you may hear some one say that libertarians are stealing votes from republicans or democrats. We need to look at who’s really stealing votes. The democrats and republicans are notorious for making each other look bad as a tactic to get people to vote for the lesser of 2 evils. If you fear one guy enough then you’ll be desperate enough to vote for the other guy that might win. It’s a deceptive tactic. Although, a lot of people have realized that they both suck and won’t vote for either of them. Every body loses if we continue to let them take turns giving the government more power and money in different areas. They are using fear tactics to steal votes from the libertarians so that they can take turns giving themselves more power and money.

Voting isn’t always about winning
This isn’t a sporting event. This is about pushing ideas and working towards giving America back to the people. Winning the war not the battle. Vote libertarian to make the government give you your country back. They’ve taken it gradually, piece by piece, it won’t likely be given back all in one shot. The only way to waste a vote is to not use it, unless there are no good options then it’s still not a wasted vote.

college is bad

Posted on January 31, 2010 at 7:34 pm by admin

I wrote this a few years ago 2010 it needs an update.

This is why you should not go to college and why I quit.

I went to college for about a year or so and I realized some things in this time.

Why  I quit

They were teaching me the following things:

  • stuff I already knew
  • stuff I could have taught myself for free
  • stuff I didn’t want to know

I was realizing my chance of getting a job as a computer engineer were very low at the time.

Working at fedex made me realize that I like more physical warehouse type work and computers are for fun not for a job.

They make you pay for unnecessary classes that they require. If they force you to take them then you shouldn’t have to pay for them. scam.

Now I have a bunch of money to pay back for a years waste of time and it’s been messing with my credit. I’m glad I didn’t stay in college and have to pay back even more for stuff i didn’t need or could have learned for free.

If someone makes a college like the one in  the movie “accepted” that would be a something to consider.

 why it’s a bad idea for you

We live in an age of Internet and books. If you want to learn something, learn it. Theres no need to pay thousands of dollars. Plus by learning this way you can teach yourself (best way to learn) and you get a lot of different perspectives on things; not just what failing outdated government school systems want you to learn.

The chances of finding a job for what you went to college for is very low. I’ve talked to way to many people with college degrees that have regular jobs with no or little relation to their degree.  Or they have no jobs at all.  You can’t just go by unemployment rates either because plenty of people with degrees  do have jobs just not the ones they wanted.

Learning is really simple you got people that know stuff and you got people that don’t know stuff. Get them together and BAM! more people know stuff. No need for thousands of dollars and other fancy stuff.

It’s a scam. They just want your money. That’s why there are so many ads on TV and stuff. And why they get people to talk it up like its good. They probably wouldn’t have to do that so much if it actually was good.

notes

* i could say more and maybe i will depending on comments.

* sorry this is kind of an informal note i may proof read later.

* there are some things that college may be good for but theres way too many crap degrees and stuff you shouldn’t have to go to college for. The bad thing is that a lot of people don’t hire depending on skill alone they want a degree, kind of a scam. There are plenty of people with skills (or abilities to learn skills) in things that don’t have jobs because they don’t have a degree in it. scam.

Black

Posted on January 31, 2010 at 7:28 pm by admin

this is an old article I wrote in 2010


This is why BLACK  is  my favorite color. This is what it represents to me. It also can stand for other things but these are the good ones.

BLACK  is a color known to absorb all light. light can symbolize knowledge and wisdom and info and I tend to be the type of person that stands back and absorbs all this stuff.

BLACK  is and important symbol in the goth subculture and other related ones which are important to me.

BLACK  is pretty and it doesn’t hurt your eyes like those dreaded bright colors.

BLACK  looks good with pretty much any thing

BLACK  is not as deceptive as colors can be.

BLACK  HUMOR is an excellent way to look at the bright side of “bad” things?

BLACK   has been used to symbolize the following:

  • night- the best time of the day
  • mystery – I tend to be a mysterious type of person
  • fear – I like spooky things and to be spooky woooOOOOoooo0000!  
  • Depth – I can be a very deep person I like to really look into things that interest me and learn about them.
  • emptiness –  I prefer to keep my feelings minimal. they get in the way. sometimes i go a bit overboard though.. oops
  • mourning – I guess its a good color to represent mourning we all have those times.
  • sophistication – I like to be sophisticated sometimes
  • power- I like to be in control of things. one reason I don’t drink or do drugs.
This is a picture of the universe if God didn’t create it.

Science and Theology part 1

Posted on January 31, 2010 at 7:24 pm by admin

this is an old article from 2010
basic stuff..

  1. Science= the study of God’s creation
  2. Theology= the study of God and his word
  3. Gods creation and Gods word do not contradict.
  4. Our perception and understanding of them can be.
  5. Knowing both helps to confirm theories.
  6. It is foolish to leave one or the other out.
  7. If your theory is wrong change your belief.
  8. If you only look for stuff against something thats all your gonna find.
  9. Always view all sides of the argument.

Why old earth creation (OEC)..

1. I, like many people, automatically believed young earth creation (YEC) stuff.
2. It’s easy to do when you’ve always known the bible in its non native language.
3. Its easy to do if you don’t study ALL of the bibles creation accounts.
4. You must compare the bibles creation accounts to what we know about the creation (science).
5. Now that ive studied many things on OEC it makes a lot more sense than YEC
6. Also based on the “basic stuff” section above OEC makes more sense.

some excellent sources for this stuff.

God and Science

1. This is where I got started on apologetic stuff.
2. It’s still an excellent source for me.
