What would you exchange your right to vote for?


Just proof of how careless and materialistic our generation is....
20% of NYU students said they would forever give up their right to vote in exchange for an IPop touch.
Damn, I wish someone had the power to actually do that, so they could get their fuckin IPod and I could proceed to steal it from those selfish ungrateful twirps.


66% said they'd forfeit their vote for a free ride to NYU. That's... more understandable. Their asses don't be voting anyway, might as well have them educated.
And half said they'd give up the right to vote forever for $1 million.
90% of the students who said they'd give up their vote for the money also said they consider voting "very important" or "somewhat important"; only 10 percent said it was "not important."
Also, 70.5% said they believe that one vote can make a difference — including 70 percent of the students who said they'd give up their vote for free tuition. So... they understand the importance and that they have power to make a difference, but would rather have an IPod that'll help them tune out and completely ignore the world around them.
60% of the students who said they'd give up their vote for tuition also described their families' income as upper-middle or high. Is anyone even surprised?
