I have yet to vote for say government officials so i wouldn't know yet.

But nothing can be more confusing than registering to vote. they ask you the same question repeatedly only rewording it each time. biggest time waster ever.

It's not surprising that the most common reason reregister is to declare a change in political party.

EDIT: to oojay,
at least i didn't vote for bush a conservative ass, I might add

How to register to vote: Renew your drivers license. "would you like to register to vote"....."yes".

you were pulled on by the "motor voter" gambit then?
is that to say that you wouldn't have registered vote ever then if someone didn't shove a voter registration in your face?
or did you just take it and fill it out to avoid any unwanted glares from the person handing you the form?

the from they give you in school to register is long and confusing. and as it would happen, half the questions didn't require answering.

Does that not require people to have a license or, for it to be convenient, to be preparing to learn to drive? I'm guessing DMV means some kind of motor vehicle agency.

Department of Motor Vehicles. aka "the car place". go there to take a driving test, get your car licensed, or register to vote.

Also, You're starting to sound like Bill O'Reilly...good world view.

No, you're thinking of Lebanon some 20 years ago, Turkey is a muslim country, run by muslims, it's just much more secular than most other muslim countries, and I used it as an example because the pressure the EU is excerting on it is showing some results as far as improving human rights. And it's really annoying when you use terms that only an american can understand when adressing someone from another continent ( Bill O'Riley ), my knowledge of your culture has its limits.

@Everyone else but Tom, stay on topic or fuck off.

Vote for whoever you want, its just interesting to me that he got more votes when he asked why he was losing.

The reason I say that Indians are a more educated people isn't really based on the education system. And let me be a little stereotypical here, I said India, and my "research" has been regarding india, but I really meant everyone from that region as well. A large majority of the Pakistanis I met are better educated.

Heres where I think we come to two roads diverged in a yellow wood. While education systems, that is to say government sponsored institutions of education may be in fact piss poor in these countries, the populace has a more insatiable appetite to be educated. So while they don't have the standards that other countries might, they learn more on their own.

I was reading an article about the practices of editorship in the feild of journalism and it said of the Inidan presses something tot he effect of "how shameless of the papers there to place unwarrented Algebra problems in the paper as its own section."

This was obviously humerous, they didn't think this was bad business, sneaky marketing or underhanded at all but more to show the educational and informational wants of the diffrent populacies. The Indian population wants alegebra problems in their daily newspapers because they hunger for more knowledge. In my highschool you couldn'y force 5% of the Alebra class not to skip out. This is the basis for my reasoning. I apologize if it was somehow half fleshed out previously, as I think I statred before, I was busy...

And if you had read what either Tom or I had said on the subject you would have realized that isn't relevant at all. How many people in India actually buy and read newspapers? You have a squewed perception of those countries...Tom could probably fill you in on the level of education there and the standard of living seeing as how the man has actually spent some time there. All the curiosity in the world won't help you much if you're struggling to survive and are living on 5 dollars a day.

Why can't you fill me in Mr. Hostile. Seriously I don't know why the anger. And that wasn't even the original question if I remember correctly, I stated that India is going to emerge as a world super power because of the techologial advancements occuring in the country. Their on the rise economiclly as I understood it and the labor is cheap so jobs (especially the tech jobs) are being outsourced there. Their alos outpacing China because their banking system is out of whack beyond repair and.

Also, whats "squewed"?

Sorry, skewed.
As far as India being the next superpower read this. It also deals with India's technology sector.

Why do you assume I'm angry? Am I calling you names or summat? Just refuting everything you say doesn't make me hostile, it indicates boredom and large amounts of free time.

theres two for ya, ones actually from new Delhi and the other is a major news source.

Edit: I can find a scientist who says global warming is not happening. Finding an economist who wants to make a name for himself at Yale by taking up a contrary opinion? Learn how higher educational institutions work and play to a market.
