These kids are so wrapped-up in themselves and their "cool" hi-tech toys that they don't know how to live without them...
Imagine...A generation of children who don't understand the intricacies and finesse of Social Interaction because they have been interacting with and through their I-Pods and Instant-messaging and e-mails and text-messaging cell phones and their computers/on-line games...Many of them can barely construct a cohesieve sentence when writing or speaking and have no clue as to what is happening in the Real World unless they've seen/heard it on some computer-show format or on something like MTV...
Truly sad...
They may possess a greater degree of computer and computer-related skills than my generation...but they are loosing their connection to Humanity...]]>Nov 15th 2007 2:36PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/Nov 15th 2007 3:11PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/Yes I know how the electoral college system works but I still will NOT give up my right to vote.

Our rights are being slowly chipped away, trampled on freely....so far the one thing they have NOT been able to take out of the citizens hands is the RIGHT to VOTE.

I hope the students that would chose the IPOD can turn the music up LOUD enough so they don't hear AMERICA crumbling all around them.
Will they wake up from their college drinking all hung over, look out the window and ask "What happened last night?"
Our Soldiers fought and died for our freedoms. We have very few left. Not voting is like spitting in a Soldiers face or not appreciating the blood that has spilled for our RIGHTS.

If all we have to look forward to is these students to run this country in 30 years we're in some deep SH*T.]]>Nov 15th 2007 3:46PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/
I'm wondering who will run this country in 30 years if all these college students give up their right to vote for an IPOD.

That IPOD won't be working in 30 years I can guarantee you that!

The students that would choose the $ for voting rights.....well you messed up. If you want to KEEP THAT $$$ you better be able to VOTE out new taxes ect.
We also know that $$$ in the hands of the young, won't last long either.
Then where will you be? You will be at the mercy of the few that can vote. You'll just be a mindless little Stepford citizen.
Something to look forward to I guess.
I'm personally hoping I'm alive in 30 years to laugh at their stupidity.]]>Nov 15th 2007 4:06PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/
They may flunk civics, but you flunk Journalism 101.

And by the way, if exchanging voting in the 2008 presidential election for an iPod is so bad, why do you have two links to stuff about iPods but none to the actual survey?]]>Nov 15th 2007 5:07PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/Nov 15th 2007 5:39PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/http://vibevault.com. ]]>Nov 20th 2007 2:09PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/11/15/students-would-give-up-voting-rights-for-an-ipod/Nov 20th 2007 3:06PM
