What is something you have never done, and people are shocked when you mention it?

[verleniahall]

Yes, it's your right not to vote. It's likely for the best regardless of what your husband does for a living or how old you are.

I will pray for you - bless your heart

Well, the bait is there.

And it was grabbed hook, line and sinker.

Still doesn't make it any less ugly.

Wait, what exactly did I say to make you snarky? I said it was your right not to vote regardless of your husband's job or your age?

You said “it’s likely for the best” that she doesn’t vote, the implication being that she’s not bright enough. At least that’s how it came across to me.

While I believe women should vote, if they are so inclined, I respect the choice not to.

I am glad the poster has support from her husband and parents should she want to vote. If she did not have that support, that would be concerning to me.

There are elections where I can not in good conscience support anyone running and choose not to vote.

Free will (song by Rush is now in my head) leads me to make an informed choice and sometimes choosing not to vote is still voting.

I voted for an unknown obscure candidate in the most recent Presidential election which if people knew would be horrified. But it's what I could do and live with myself.

Goofy Disney Dad.

Goofy Disney Dad.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Marchand63]

I have never voted. I don’t feel it’s my place. My husband is the head of our household and yes we talk about it somewhat, but he is the only voter.

HUH WHAT?!?!? You can't be serious, you so subjugate yourself you don't vote.

Heck I from the NorthEast and know that is a nasty comment. Not very religious like you claim to be.

I've tried water skiing and it didn't end well for me. I hate snow and cold weather so I've never been snow skiing either. Disney World I've done a time to two as well.

I like the snow, but I am just not coordinated enough for skiing. I went cross country skiing and it did not end well. I fell so many times, it was embarrassing. I hate beaches, lakes, and any type of water that is not a swimming pool. Water skiing is not in my future.

I had no idea that women were not allowed to vote based on the bible. Then again I've never read the bible so I'll have to take your word for it.

I do agree that not everyone should vote just because they are 18 and over. If you don't have a clue about whom you are voting for it's best to stay home. I know too many people who vote a certain way either because it was directed by someone else or only based on party lines. If you are too ignorant, sheltered or oppressed to form your own opinion please refrain from voting.

The Bible doesn't say it, doesn't directly talk about politics much at all really as it would apply to our modern context, and in fairness, @verleniahall never said it did. It certainly does refer to a husband as the head of a household, and I guess that plays out differently for every couple that holds to it.
