How do you know it does not immediately utilise those rights?

Please just say use

To me "utilise" has a slightly different meaning that "use". I am not a native speaker though. Is it just a fancy way of saying "use"? I thought it implied "using" an option/feature/opportunity to do something. So one "utilises" that to do something.

Poll 2010: http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,288... And then it became: http://content.time.com/time/person-of-the-year/2010/ So probably this year it will be Miley Cyrus...

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan got a lot of positive votes. I imagine he doesn't have same support after Gezi.

Time person of the year is not about the best person. It's about the most influential person.

Hitler won before.

Miley Cyrus has more votes than Edward Snowden. How can that be?

Is that an honest question? You realise that almost no-one gives a fuck about Snowden, right? Most people really just don't care. The Guardian newspaper has (if we're generous) a circulation of 250,000 people. The (untrustworthy) numbers of the MileyCyrusVEVO "Wrecking Ball" video are 352,117,848 views.

> 352,117,848 views.

Now I'm depressed.

Currently (and thankfully) Edward Snowden has 10x more votes than Miley Cyrus

Update, Cyrus is now ahead of Snowden with a comfortable lead.

I'm so disapointed, da fuk she's even on the list ?!
