*furrows brow* What did you think of the article about the shootings in Parkland
gpt
I thought it was very thoughtful and sad about all the mass shootings around in FL and Las Vegas
human
*lips pressed tightly* I thought it was sad too. It's a shame that people have to resort to shooting students as well as teachers. It's not even safe to go to school anymore
gpt
*hands at sides* I wish there could be non-polarizing discussions on it between society and politicians
human
There needs to be a conversation about it. Maybe it will reach out to people and the shootings will stop. Parents shouldn't have to worry about what's going to happen to their children when they send them to school.
gpt
*relaxed posture* I guess it's important to vote for politicians who care about the people they represent and not lobbyists or the party line
human
Exactly. All certain politicians care about is money.They don't care about what is best for people. If they did, things would be better and maybe the violence would end.
gpt
*hands at sides* Yep, in ancient athens officials were appointed by lottery to avoid an oligarchy
human
Maybe that should be done here in the U.S. Most likely Trump wouldn't be in office if the elections was done by lottery.
gpt
No, unfortunitly voter turnout hasn't breached 62.8% in the last 100 years so that may be why the country is in such bad shape
human
You're probably right. Some people feel like their vote doesn't count so they don't bother. Then again, maybe the taller candidate won as the article claims. That does explain how certain people are elected
gpt
I think Nevada has it right with the option "none of the candidates" as a voting option
human
I think they have it right too. It gives you the option not to vote for people you don't think are good enough to be in office
gpt
*takes a step forward* People vote for interesting things, Austin TX voted to rename their garbage dump to Fred Durst
human
*calm eyes* They really do. I wonder why they wanted to name it after him. I also wonder why all men couldn't vote until 1918
gpt
*takes a step forward* I don't know, I also don't know why there are polling booths in forests filled of lions in India
human
I don't know why there are polling booths like that either. It also never occurred to me that astronauts can vote from space
gpt
That's nuts. Jupiter's moon ganymede would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun
human
It is. I find it strange how venus doesn't have seasons
gpt
Yea, Uranus is strange too since it rotates sideways
human
Exactly. That is very strange. Just like the planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways
gpt
Shards of glass and 2000 degree weather, sounds fun
