I like to click on articles or polls that don't interest me, just so I can make a comment saying that this article or poll doesn't concern me, because I'm arrogant enough to believe that every article and poll on a website must be interesting to me personally, instead of simply clicking on content that is in fact interesting to me, because I believe that every link on every website that my glorious being decides to visit must be perfection and agree with my opinions in all possible ways.
Also, another missing option for: I like to feed the trolls.
Also: I like to read run-on sentences out loud, because it makes me sound out of breath.
spoken like a true american. the u.s. does not have as much influence on the rest of the world as you think. Certainly not europeans.
That's odd, considering most Americans don't concern themselves with the rest of the world and have to be reminded by the rest of the world (and particularly Europeans) that Americans need to stop influencing the rest of the world. Europeans especially do this a lot on slashdot.
I'm voting R because *fingers crossed* Romney was blowing smoke throughout the primaries and will return to his roots: a pragmatic administer pursuing data-driven solutions. And take the party with him.
You can vote Ultra-Conservative! Restore the authority of the nobility and return the colonies to their rightful owner. Vote Tory 2012! God Save The Queen!:)

OK, it's like Sophie's choice. In the book, Sophie has to decide which of her children will get to live. Since either way, a child died, she opted to vote for a third-party child who was already dead. That way she didn't have to make any difficult moral choices that would make her seem less cool to her Libertarian friends.

The word either is usually reserved for groups with two members. There are more than just the R candidate and the D candidate running. There's the L candidate, whom I picked because I assumed the letter "L" stood for Lesbians in this case.

Others have already corrected you, but I just wanted to share one more tidbit...
Top story on the BBC right this second: "US rivals battle for swing states".
Above-the-scroll on Al Jazeera right this second: "US Elections 2012" and "Obama and Romney battle for key swing states"
Above-the-scroll on Spiegel right this second: "Obama und Romney gehen auf den Keks", whatever the hell that means.
Top story on Ha Aretz right this second: "Poll: Obama, Romney essentially tied in key swing states "
Yeah, the rest of the world barely even gives US internal politics a second thought.
when your dog runs amok, manages to set your house on fire while escaping and goes on to maul the neighbours' children, you don't reward it with a steak dinner and a five-star kennel.
you take it out back and shoot it in the head because it's a fucking menace to society.
also, your analogy is as fucking stupid as your dog.
