"By the way, Anthony came to the opener wearing a T-shirt with a burning Twin Towers that said: "[John] Kerry shouldn't have given up. He should have fought all the way through." Anthony then admitted he didn't vote." Chicago Tribune To me is looks like Carmelo isn't just the fun person to be around anymore. With all the illegal actions here and there, and then he wears a t-shirt dipicting America's top tragedy.
First off, post a link as opposed the just the name of the source. Secondly, people who don't vote have no right to complain. Thirdly, the twin tower aspect of the shirt was uncalled for.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Sabretooth:</div><div class="quote_post">As you can see, I am blonde. I don't understand what the shirt is trying to depict.</div> He's saying with Bush in office things are bad and that Kerry shouldn't have given up in the election. Stupid move on Melo's part. First the weed, now this. If he actually cared about the situation he obviously would have voted - which he didn't do. Oh well, everyone can tell he's changed, and his Nuggets aren't doing too hot either. He needs to clear his head and focus on basketball.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ice:</div><div class="quote_post">He's saying with Bush in office things are bad and that Kerry shouldn't have given up in the election. </div> That's what I thought, but Kerry can only do so much.
This isnt very good for Melo. He really needs to grow up. What kind of man does this. He should just focus on playing basketball. I think all the money and the fame just isnt good for him. He dont know what to do anymore. Sorry for my bad english. I hope i made myself clear. I just couldnt find the right words to say it.
how about we stop haten, its old news, and we are supposed to be talking about basketball not how melo didn't vote
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting live2ball:</div><div class="quote_post">how about we stop haten, its old news, and we are supposed to be talking about basketball not how melo didn't vote</div> Well I think it is important because it shows how stupid and ignorent atheletes can be, I think it just proves he needed to complete College before entering the NBA, wouldv'e gave him time to finish doin his drugs and maybe learn something more than roll, light, puff. So really you have no right to complain when you didn't even do anything yourself to effect what you wanted to be done. Also what is he doing on the basketball court, he is trying to do eveything himself which is why the Nuggets are 1-3.
Boy the man didn't vote either. God and I heard Luda and Paris was doing that Rock the vote thing too and didn't vote themselves. I voted twice already and I'm 22. Turned 18 during the right year.
Carmelo is acting like most 20 year olds with money do, he's just gotta stop pressuring himself being who he's not. Although younger, LeBron can handle a lot of things better than Melo can. But this kid is learning, and losses are the results of the team still trying to figure each other out, feeling out each other. I guess they'll bounce back and get some wins, but they just gotta stop thinking about the 50 win expectation BS. Gotta come out and play hard like the Nuggets.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Billa_Bong:</div><div class="quote_post">So really you have no right to complain when you didn't even do anything yourself to effect what you wanted to be done. </div> And what makes you think he didn't? Maybe he donated money to the Kerry campaign. There's more to being politically involved in national politics and contributing to a campaign than voting, particularly when you're a rich person with lots of resources. Also, your statement doesn't make sense because he's not complaining that people didn't go out and vote (that would be hypocritical). He's complaining that Kerry conceded without a fight, after all the support and time millions of Americans gave him. Personally, I think that's a legitimate gripe, regardless of whether or not you voted.
Are you trying to say that someone donating $ to a campaign wouldn't get their asses out their and vote for the person? That's makes 0 sense.

A couple thousand bucks could actually be more valuable to winning a campaign than a vote.
Every vote counts... did you see how close the election was. If you say only 1 vote doens't matter millions of people could be saying 1 vote dones't matter, so a million peopel stay home thinking htey cant make a difference. Please get your facts straight durvasa.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting durvasa:</div><div class="quote_post">It takes hardly a few minutes to write a check.

If I was giving $ to a certain campaign, damn right I'm gonna want to vote. Does anyone agree with me on this?
