Here it is:

Uh, no.

Are you sure about that? I have an uncle who's a dentist and he says...

Cupping your balls doesn't help with the teeth cleaning process, either. Your uncle's NAMBLA membership should have tipped you off to that one.

I don't know. I find gripping my dentist's ball help me feel much better. He doesn't cause me pain I don't cause him pain.

Americans don't have to show photo ID to vote? Shut the fuck up! I never knew that. We do up here... of course if your religion requires you to cover your face while in public, your photo ID doesn't really show much though.

no, no. you get a paper voter card when you sign up to vote. to get that you have to show proof of citizenship.

with the proposed nationalized ID card, everyone would have to buy one in order to vote, and they would be another surcharge, like $30 to get them made and stand in a line, like a drivers license.

but because its another photo ID cardexpenditure, it has ben argued that the national ID card would stop the poor from voting, making voting a priviledge and not a right.

i can kind of see the dentist point of massaging the chest for relief of jaw pain. but there is a big difference between massaging a muscle, and feeling someone up. I only say this cause i did go to massage school, and we learned all kinds of crazy shit, but seeing as how it probably isn't something he is licensed in it would fall out of his area of expertise, and i am pretty sure the ladies didn't ask for a massage, and i doubt he did this "service" for any men, but i dunno.

that cop though... what a bitch. I think breaking her knee is to good for her. let her go brain dead, and die somewhere all alone and forgotten.

Hey Reaper, WTF is wrong with people ?? I'd also love to see that bitch get her other knee broken !! Even saying that, I hope she never has to deal with such a major tragedy with her own child. Nobody should have to live with that!!

I r confused. I've always showed ID when I voted. As far as I can remember, every time I've ever gone to vote, I was asked for my ID. The idea of voting without showing proof of identification makes my head wibble a little bit. I mean, Hello? You have to show ID for dam near everything else, why not something important like voting? If voting is so important like everybody makes it out to be, why the hell wouldn't you have to prove who you are? I have to prove who I am to buy beer and smokes. I have to prove who I am if I want to order pizza with my bank card. I have to prove who I am if I want to see a doctor. If voting is so dang important, then somebody better be checking ID's at the door.

For the record, I don't think that requiring proof of ID at the polls is racist or negatively affects minorities or the poor. I think that CHARGING people for the mandatory ID is harmful to minorities and the poor. If da Bush man would hit the pause button on the whole Iraq war for 10 minutes, it would save enough money to pay for a free, universally accepted ID for everybody in the country.

It is not the issue of requiring IDs at the polling centers that makes it a racial issue. I cite Greg Pallast's "Armed Madhouse" as for the reasons why it is racial.

...Help America Vote act (HAVA) became law on Jan 1, 2006. This allows each of the 50 secretaries of state to reject voter reigstrations. HAVA requires any voter whose exact name and identity numbers (drivers lic, SSN, passport Num) did not match up against a state verification list.
...Consider this: When HAVA gave state politicians this power to reject registration forms nationwide, the official hacks told 1 in 3 americans attempting to register to "get lost." For example, at the beginning of 2006, california rejected 40% of registerants.
Each year, about 24.3 million americans attempt to register or re-register. At the current rates, it wont take long to clean out the voter rolls of undesirables...
The key question is WHO will be tossed out? Overwhelmingly, its folks with names like Garcia`-Marquez, Yao Ming, and Mohammad, according to Just Levitt at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU school of law.

Well if they aren't legal voters, then we cannot complain. However, in a case by case review in one state, New York, disclosed that 71% of registration forms rejected were tossed out as the result of data-entry errors by the governments own clerks. And that's the point. There is not one scintilla of evidence of an attempt by thousands of citizens to vote illegally. However, in the California case, the thousands of rejected were guilty of VWH... Voting While Hispanic. In Los Angeles, where a democratic Chicano mayor and his allies have no interest in wiping out the Chicano vote, county officials went bck through the local list of the 40% of applicants rejected. By simply contacting those voters and correcting obvious clerical errors on the forms, they reduced the rejection rate from 40% to nearly zero. In other words, the rejected were in fact, legitimate voters.

I would type more by my hands hurt... read the book.

I've never been required to show a photo ID when voting, and I've voted in four different states. Requirements for proof of eligibility when registering and then voting are set by local boards. They all require some sort of proof of residency, which might include a photo ID, but not necessarily, and this can be something as simple as your address on a utility bill or paycheck. Your proof of who you are is usually the oath you sign declaring so. And it's a crime to falsify it.

Once registered, you are eligible to vote only in your home district - usually at a single assigned polling place. On election day, if you show up and your name isn't on their list, you don't get to vote. If it is, then you do. And your name gets crossed off, so you can't come back and vote again.

Example:
From one place I've voted

3. What identification do I need to register to vote?
None. You do not need to show any proof to register to vote. You sign an oath attesting to the accuracy of all information given.

I'm sure she did... after her employers told her to, because she was making them look like a bunch of douchebags.

Yep, she dropped it.

But not before she was "placed on leave." By a department that is on record saying she really had no reason to sue.

Eichhorn received full medical benefits, worker's compensation care, her salary and accumulated sick and vacation time during her absence.
...
The departmental supervisors and the Chief of Police recommended to Sgt. Eichhorn that she not file legal action against the homeowners since her on the job injury would be fully covered by the City's workers compensation coverage that is provided to all employees. Eichhorn chose to file suit against the homeowners in this incident as a private individual.
