Why vote? Posted on 08-11-2004
chocolatetai411

Okay, my ex-boyfriend and I are still friends, so we talk pretty often. I made a comment about the up-coming election and he blew me off (as in completely ignored me and changed the subject). So I asked him was he planning on voting and do you know what this dude told me? He said he doesn't care about the elections because they don't affect him. I tried to explain but I don't think he got it. So my quetion to you guys is how in the world do I get the point across to him that this issue is serious and could have a major impact on the rest of his life? :? :? :?

if he is going to college, he is giong to want some sort of financial ad and scholarship, well under the Bush regime, he can kiss that goodbye. I'd basically say if u want a cheaper education than vote Kerry.

However, if he doesn't want to go to college then his chances of getting a job are growing smaller due to outsourcing. I'd basically say if u want a cheaper education and a job than vote Kerry.

no, actually Bush supports private school funding (ie. Hampton) and Kerry doesnt....

wouldn't that make the school none private if it recieved funding from the government. I mean hence the word private school. Perhaps i am mistaken.

I would say alot of that mmoney goes to HBCUs. Alot of students at these schools obtain some kind of money from the gov't be it loans or grants. How many people can u think of that get the Pell grant at least? I'll get back 2 tha voting thing.
