I'm too lazy to post the story but WTF?  a significant amount of House Dems voted for this assisnine bill.   I realize it was part of a larger bill regarding voting rights but I'm kind of getting to the point where I think we should raise it.   At a minimum only allow people who cant be claimed by someone else as a dependent.  

The sponsoring D made some ludicrous statement about these kids paying income tax.   Yeah, right.   Barney who works at Burger King making 8 bucks an hour after school is a big source of tax revenue.   He doesnt get ANY of his withholding back, right?

I realize that laws passed today by current politicians affect their future but a shot nosed, mouth breathing 16 year old has no business voting.

They cant (legally) drink or join the military.   Do you seriously think 16 year olds are mature enough?

We allow old people to vote that suffer similar mental deficiencies. And at least 16 year olds have some stake in how the future turns out.

Agree but we but we also shouldn’t allow 80+ yr olds to vote either

And I agree with that as well.  We also shouldn't let them hold office or be in the Supreme Court.

I'm not kidding.

16 seems too young. So on the surface I would probably be against it. That being said I've seen an ignorance vein run right through this country. Teenagers don't have a monopoly on making dumb decisions. However, empowering younger people to pay more attention and get more involved would be a plus.  

  

I'm in favor of the larger bill.

And I'm not either, fucktard.

We know that the mind isn't fully developed until around age 25.  But in your case (and Turkleton) the onset has yet to take place.

A course, let's not be obtuse. At 16, Santa Clause still comes in to play. You, as a good commie sill hold him on a high pedestal.

None of your family members appreciated Medicare or Social Security? Savages.

Maybe we could make them take some sort of test,  we'll need to charge a tax to pay for its administration probably

No . I think they were more concerned about the fact that they were dying . And then they did.

Hell, if maturity is a requirement for voting, I reckon we can pick out a king right now, and be done.

If a 16-year-old is mature enough to be imprisoned for the rest of his life, he’s sure as fuck mature enough to vote.

Same as always.... If you can die,  you should be able to have a beer.

They should lower the voting age. After 80 no more voting for you. You're probably going to be dead the next time the senate seat is up for grabs anyway.

So then Joe Biden is out. He will be older than 80 by the time his Presidency is over.
