Teen voters, the younger the better, are exactly what the left is looking for. They know no history; they base all of their decisions on emotion; they have no real world experience in terms of what works and what does not. They haven’t the slightest idea of discipline or delayed gratification. They live in a world of fantasy and wish fulfilment; they make demands that cannot be met but they’re willing to settle for an ice-cream cone. They are utterly dependent on others; they’re desperate to conform to the cultural norm, and in general they are the perfect, pliable, ignorant, utterly emotional, reason-free, easily-manipulated vote farm that the progressives need for their power grab.

I would support lowering the voting age if for no other reason than the entertainment value. Watching people like Bill stroke out would be hilarious

Assuming that somebody who's one day short of 18 on election day is too foolish and incompetent to vote, and somebody born the day before has the wisdom and knowledge to exercise the franchise is a constant source of amusement to me.

Thats because with your minimum wage job at the recycling center you don't pay taxes.

People with minimum wage jobs don't pay GST, health care taxes, or payroll taxes? Cool.

Let's try not to derail yet another thread with your childish insults. This thread is about Bill Whittle's hate, not your jealousy. Try and stay on topic for once please.

I'm hating with taxslave today, so. . .

Hey, Cannuck! You're, like, really ugly! And stupid! Major, major, megastupid! And you smell funny! You hold a low-wage job in an industry I perceive as useless! You are in every way my socioeconomic inferior!

There, that fixed you. Hey, taxslave, now that we've crushed Cannuck, who do we go after next?

What a bunch of Con hate filled propaganda and it's got all the cons on here chomping at the bit. Nice play Loc, stirring up the hornet's nest on April Fools. Ironic indeed.

Ah, c'mon, you hate sixteen-year-olds as much as we do. Who the heck could actually LIKE the snotty, arrogant, cocksure little fools?

I have quite a few friends who are 16ish and many of them are far more mature than most on these forums. But then most of their parents are free thinkers and even their grandparents have open minds.

I take it your functional definition of "free thinkers" and "open minds" is "agrees with my conclusions and hatreds on all points," yes?

Hey!!

When I was sixteen, I was reasonably politically aware, I was interested in history, I had read some political philosophy, I held strong political beliefs.........

And I was a Marxist.

No, 16 year olds should not get to vote.

Their brains are not even close to fully developed.

And you base that on the fact that you were a Marxist at 16. Brilliant.
