OK. Might as well not give a shit about anything then. But maybe a different country would be good for you to check out. Maybe something in the Middle East. Or Africa. Hell. Go to Cuba. And when you get back I'll look forward to reading how "it's not that serious." Or you can just ask a woman in some Bible Belt state how it feels to not have the right to do what you want with your body in relation to the extraordinarily important decision about giving birth. I bet "it's not the serious" won't be the response.

@Ynotisay But I don't live there.
For me, I can go my whole life not worrying about politics and nothing will ever change. I'll live my life, work and then die.
Honestly, even I did care and was informed, would that change anything? Not really. So personally, it's not worth bothering about.

@Chaoshead Damn. 22-25 and you've already gone down the "It's all and only about me" path. And nothing will ever change? Dude? You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Whatever. The rest of us will just have to continue to pay for the apathetic and selfish. It's how we roll in America.

@Ynotisay For every apathetic person that exists there's another passionate person that disagrees with everything you believe and is trying to enact change that you hate. Those people are the real problem, in your case.
The reason that laws seemingly never change in the US isn't because of amoral, apathetic 20 year olds. It's because the people that do care can come to diametrically opposed conclusions, that they then obsess and fight over for the rest of their lives.

@Chaoshead Do you see how what you said was a commercial for voting? And being engaged?
And you know what? It sort of is about apathetic 20 year olds. Because it speaks to a larger issue. That's age group that votes the least. By a significant margin. Want to know who votes the most? 65-74. Because they know it matters.
And yeah man. Laws do change. They're constantly changing. You should at least clue yourself in to that. Or maybe talk to woman in a state that tells her what she can do with her body and life and get her take on it. That wouldn't do you any harm.

@Ynotisay I think you're missing the point.
You're still assuming that I would agree with you on the issues you're passionate about.
What if I listened to you and started to become a motivated and ambitious voter, but I decided to support the Republican Party? What if I decided to become pro-life, pro-gun redneck. Then you would have created another obstacle to your cause.
Same thing if you were a redneck and I decided to become a pro-trans, pro-socialist activist. You can't assume every motived and educated actor in the political sphere is going to have a positive impact from your perspective.
It's okay to not be politically active just like it's fine to be a Democrat or Republican. In the end, it's unknowable whether someone's decision to be liberal, conservative or nothing (in my case) is having a net positive or negative result on society.
