Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Free beer would have been a better incentive I think. I wonder if this will be trending in the US come November? Another good reason to vote by mail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Y'all really do talk weird over there. To me, doing something "with no pants on" would either be walking around naked from the waist down, or possibly just walking around in your underwear. Now that first picture looks like that - that girl appears to be wearing bikini panties. But all the other pictures - they are in bathing suits. Skimpy as hell bathing suits, but still bathing suits.

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Our Station Chief was used to seeing me in a blue medic's uniform. We ran into one another at the local restaurant. Neither of us wore uniform. Chief remarked, "I'm not used to seeing you in clothes!" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I votated too, in pants, it's compulsory (and a legal requirement also) ....... .... wrong politician has claimed victory ....

Chantry Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I'm sure the other voters greatly appreciated you wearing clothes when you went to vote 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is the voting that is compulsory. In Australia it is the law that when an individual turns the age of 18 years, that individual is legally required to register with the Electrol Office for the purpose of voting in Federal, State and Local Government elections ..... very few exceptions. Failure to vote in any election is a fine-able offense, as is voting more than once. The problem is that you can only vote for a name on the ballot paper even if you can't find one worthy of your vote. ....... and regardless of who you vote for, a politician is gonna win! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 The fine only applies to "not showing up to get your name marked off", ... it can not be for not casting a valid vote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
