An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response. (wikipedia.com)
It obviously worked... (Refer to emo response above)
Its up to you whether you think it's my fault or his...
Back on topic plz.

You post that poor people wouldn't be so poor if they didn't make bad decisions. I ask if you're blaming the poor people for making bad decisions. You dodge the question, and then ignore me. Who's the troll?

Ignoring means I don't want to answer your question. I don't make a post saying "I don't want to answer your question" cuz that would be trolling. Not posting is always safe and is never considered trolling. How could you provoke a response by NOT posting? You generally troll by making up a provocative post.
Also, my reply to your original question would probably seen by the admin as a legitimate attempt to answer the question, and therefore isn't trolling. If you disagree, the little "report" link is waiting for you below that post...
I didn't "report" your post in this thread b/c I think I don't have a very strong case. If I was 100% sure it would be considered trolling by the admin, I would've reported it.
Oh - and Romney/Clinton won Michigan for those who care. Clinton doesn't count b/c she was the only one on the ballot. She doesn't get credit for the victory b/c Michigan went early in primary voting. Therefore the national democratic convention pulled the Michigan votes.

This is why our country is -> toilet. You should pick the candidate you like best by answering the following question: Which candidate most closely believes what I believe? Another important consideration is this question: Does my candidate have a reasonable chance of being elected.
Your answer to the OP question should be based on your answer to the above 2 questions.
Happy? I'm not even old enough to vote yet (although it's coming close) so I don't think I have to worry about what the candidates believe, or even what they're offering. I COULD, but I don't want to. When I am old enough and have a chance to vote, my decision is going to be based off of serious thought.
Same here.

A good reason not to vote is when you know you have no chance to influence the outcome of the election.
Even if I had 100 friends and I could convince them to all vote for my candidate, it wouldn't matter. Since I live in Massachusetts (a heavily democratic/liberal state) no matter which way me and my 100 friends vote, it's certain the Democratic candidate (for president) will win, at least in this state.
It's rare though to have an election where every office you elect is like this. You have a reasonable chance of affecting the outcome (with your 100 friends) for offices that are not statewide, such as congressman.
