You are trying to decide where to go for lunch, and you will all go togther. You want to go to Tom's Cafe, and four other people agree with you. But six people want to go to Mary's Cafe. Six votes for Mary's is more than five votes for Tom's. Have you been repressed? No. But more people voted for Mary's, so you go to Mary's. Was it a waste of time to vote? I don't think so. If one other person wanted Tom's, you would have gone to Tom's.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatDoesFollowingQuestionMean/zzcjv/post.htm#442910Mon, 23 Feb 2009 17:35:20 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:442910Macleef1http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatDoesFollowingQuestionMean/zzcjv/post.htm#442910http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-442910.xmlNeeraj Jain wrote: This does not mean that the society is repressive.
