[06:58] <@SpeedRcrX> Hey how come I didn't hear a get out the vote thing like last year
[06:58] <FireFly_9> Because of Diebold Corporation
[06:59] <FireFly_9> Nowadays we can just let the machines vote for themselves apparently
[06:59] <FireFly_9> It really is much simpler when you think about it
[07:02] <Mizunomics01> Honestly, I don't see why you are all so surprised. This is the wave of the future. Who needs ballot box fraud when you can easily compromise any voting machine?
[07:05] <[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> Oh there's still plenty of that, except now it's the memory cards and things that go missing. This election will be fun
[07:07] <@SpeedRcrX> Well how the hell will we know something happened with no paper trails?
[07:07] <FireFly_9> Simple. Look for statistically improbable gains. With the backlash from the war, all the sex scandals
[07:07] <maf54@aol.com> hi
[07:08] <FireFly_9> The generally dismal state of the economy, if the party in power manages to stay largely in power then we know something is afoot.
[07:10] * [gTV]C'est_la_V has a found a copy of the HBO hacking the vote documentary online that shows exactly what's going on
[07:33] <FireFly_9> The senate I can see staying as is, but if the House doesn't change hands we'll know the age of America even pretending to have a representative democracy is basically over.
[07:35] <@SpeedRcrX> f[BLEEP]k all this s[BLEEP]t I don't care, thank god I LIVE IN JAPAN
[07:35] <@SpeedRcrX> HARUKA'S NEWSBITS OF FUN
[07:36] <@SpeedRcrX> The Doctor Who 2005 / 2006 OST will be released on December 4th
[07:37] <@SpeedRcrX> and as much as I mocked the Schick Quattro some years ago, the Gillete Fusion 5 blader IS better and it DOES work but god damn you BETTER you use shaving cream because on dry skin it will scratch you to s[BLEEP]t
[07:39] <=^catablanca^=> Haruka you don't shave... you're a woman
[07:39] <[gTV]C'est_la_V> Who says women don't shave :P
[07:39] <=^catablanca^=> Oh yeah, legs
[07:39] <@SpeedRcrX> And back
[07:39] <[gTV]C'est_la_V> legs right
[07:40] * Mizunomics01 is away: hahahaha
[07:40] <=^catablanca^=> what
[07:41] * [gTV]Karasuma_Akane is away: god I need coffee, election cycles BITE ASS
[07:41] <[gTV]C'est_la_V> One day you'll understand Artemis, one day
[07:41] <@SpeedRcrX> OH LOL
