Political Pet Peeve

One thing always annoys me come election time: the people out there encouraging strangers to vote.

"Get out and vote!", they beg. "It's your duty, and you need to exercise the hard-earned privilege!"

But could they really be so ignorant as to think that randomly encouraging others will help their cause? Are they so naive that they think everyone stands for what they stand for, and will thus vote accordingly?

Why implore the general populous to vote? There is an equal chance that they are against you as there is that they are with you, so why not just shut up about it?

You should only be encouraging people to vote who agree with you on the issues you value.

If you indiscriminately encourage strangers to vote, you're not using your brain properly.

Faith

If the bible were to be taken literally, then one should be able to move a mountain if they had faith the size of a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20). Has any such thing ever happened? Has anyone ever told a mountain to move, and then had it do so? If not, then it must mean that faith doesn't literally work that way, or nobody truly has ever had such faith.

If the verse were true, and people truly believed it, then these "true believers" should be making miracles occur on a daily basis, based on faith alone.

Hypocrisy

Crazy Abe's

This is my favorite. A work of sheer comedic genius, if I do say so myself.

Comics

I've discovered the site Toondoo.com where you can quite easily create your own comic strips.
So I played around and came up with a few. It is an enjoyable challenge to try to get a point across in the span of a short comic strip.

Here is the first I did. Just hover your mouse over the side to scroll it.
