Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Of course interpreting this depends on whether you assume their is an implied 'about' missing from the quote or not.
If you have it as 'about' taking and not giving you a very different song from the literal assumption that 'taking' is verb active and it is life itself which is giving us nothing.
And it is definitely 'decree'. Can I wet my bed now?

But because of our electoral system we don't get much of a say. I live in a rock-solid Tory seat (not Burn's, but not far away!). The bookies quoted the Tory candidate as 1/200 favourite which says it all.
I did vote but against those odds the chances of my personal opinions are largely irrelevant. In a nationwide PR-based poll that would not be the case. My vote would have a direct bearing on the overall outcome.
Exit polls suggest Labour stay in power with a reduced majority of 50-60. Sunderland South was the first (only so far) to declare. Lab hold, 5% swing against them.
@ andymackem
My point is not who you vote for but why you don't vote.
It makes me mad when most of the populace can't be arsed to go out one day in 4+/- years and do it!
People fought (and died) for our right to do this, that's what dismays me.
