　　Linger: Hey, bro, let's watch a political debate on TV.
　　Aduh: I'm playing video games, sis.
　　Linger: But the presidential election is coming up.
　　Aduh: I don't care about any stupid election.
　　Linger: How can you say that? This is important for our future.
　　Aduh: I'm worried about the present. And I just got to the 12th level.
　　Linger: But it's important to exercise your rights in a democracy. Otherwise you'll lose them.
