    Does your legal system work on imprisonment or nothing at all? Sounds very extreme.

    Here it’s a small fine, but it’s also a day off and takes like 20 mins to go do plus you can get a delicious sausage. So it’s a no brainer that people go vote.

    Greece is a pretty failed state from what I’ve seen, wouldn’t read too much into what they don’t do.

    As for why compulsory voting, it helps moderate extremism and represents most of society as a whole.







  • It is, which is why you have the RIGHT not to use a public space and push your information out to millions of people. You explicitly agreed to it the second you started doing it.

    And if it didn’t? If it’s just a simple piece of software made by two people? Should they drop everything to cater to European demands?

    Europe invaded the world, then turns around and tells the world to respect its self imposed rule it enforces on others. We can’t even host our own space on the internet without you invading and threatening us to operate your way. The only safety we apparently have is in our small size means we might escape notice.

    It’s utter arrogance.


  • Eh i still dont think itd hold up.

    But more reason to hate European arrogance. Imagine if i could go to say your blog, comment my name and address, and sue you for not going into your database and scrubbing it all. Just another way to benefit big companies at the expense of individuals who dont have the tech skills to comply but want to run their own personal sites.
