So The Presidential Election...What Do You Think?

I was thinking that so many of you aren't quite there yet with being old enough to vote, but that doesn't mean your opinion matters any less.

It would be nice to see some of your opinions on which nominee you would vote for and why. Feel free to use sources to back up what you're saying as long as the site is appropriate.

If you're going to engage in debate, there are some rules:

Respect each others' opinions. If you happen to think someone has an opinion that is not fully educated feel free to show reliable sources that may prove that opinion wrong. But be nice!

If something you said is proven to be false, don't get angry, go find some sources to uphold your side of things.

No putting each other down. Everyone is entitled to an opinion whether or not you like their opinion.

No swearing please. I realize this topic gets heated, so I feel like if I let the little swears through eventually someone will come through with a big'un.

No threats, joking or otherwise. 

Respect, respect, and you guessed it! Cookies! No, respect. You can't expect respect for yourself if you don't give it.

So if any post on here gets too mean, disrespectful, or just plain out of hand, you can expect me to use the delete function. If everyone bee-haves, this won't happen.

All topics related to the Presidential election are welcome. But please be mindful of the feelings of those posting here.

The Hunt Is On - Win CyDollars!

So the Halloween Scavenger hunt is finally on. I hope that a lot of you get a chance to participate. Please read this entire post to find out all the rules.

1st Place - 50 CyDollars
2nd Place - 20 CyDollars
3rd Place - 5 CyDollars

Here is how this works. Clues are scattered amongst the moderator's cat profiles. Their are also some scattered in forum posts.

In order to make sure no one skips ahead, I need you to write down the names of the cats or threads as you find them. For example:

If the first clue was on Scruffy's profile and led to the second clue on Mindy's profile, your log should begin like this:

1. Scruffy
2. Mindy

And so on. Once you think you have the final clue (which is a word or series of words), post here "I think I've solved it!" and email me the answers at Azkani.Karma@yahoo.com. Do NOT post the answers on the blog. If you post them here, they will be deleted immediately. The only way we can have 3 winners is if 3 people go through and find the clues themselves.

If you email me and you are wrong, I will tell you to keep looking. If you email me and you are right, I will tell you that as well, but I won't tell you what place you won until all 3 are taken. (If this goes on for over a day, I will hand out prizes one at a time)

So, where do you start? Start with my lovely Azkitty - http://www.cyskasiberians.com/catstats.php?catid=61

Good luck and have fun guys!

Hello,

My name is Destinee, but I go by islen (pronounced eyez-lin) or you can call me izzy, for short. I am currently a sophomore in high school, with a dream of becoming a veterinarian. I currently have two dogs, a female chocolate lab who’s name is Cheyanne, and a Chihuahua mix , named Rango.

I enjoy listening to music, drawing, swimming, playing basketball, and enjoying my free time on Cyska Siberians.

My favorite artist is Taylor Swift. I have been to both her Fearless and Speak Now tours, with hopes of going to her Red tour next year on June 2, 2013. 

Over the years I have become a fan of virtual pet sites. One of them being, Cyska Siberians which, I joined on July 18, 2012. I was elected to be a mod shortly after joining on July 21^st, after volunteering to be one. Being a mod on Cyska Siberians is not only a honor and a dream come true, but it gives me the opportunity to help members, which I love doing.
