I'd prefer a test that excludes you from voting if you pass.

"What is Justin Bieber's latest Album?"

"Who is Parris Hilton sleeping with?"

"What is the main issue between the Werewolfs and Vampires in Twilight?"

etc

From the numerous posts by libs calling me a wacko because I believe that not everyone should be able to vote.

Why'd you address it to me then? I'm neither a liberal nor someone calling you a wacko for your views on voting rights.

Oh, so I'm a racist because I repeated things I've heard. Gotcha.

BTW, the "racist" moniker has been so overused, it's lost all meaning.

Oh, it's right. Just prone to have long term negative consequences.

Because of this.

But, If there were a qualifier for the vote, I'd give a civics test. But, we allow everyone so we'll just have to deal with the consequences.

I'm old enough where I'll be taking public money soon and being supported by the younger folks anyway...

So only 50% of the population will ever get to vote at any given time?
Yes.

What test do you propose?
I'm sure there are sufficient intelligence tests out there. I can give no specifics at this time.

Draw numbers when their number comes up they have to report to the processing plant. They had a star trek show on similar to it

I think I confused you with wfeliciana. Sorry, I was being shot at from several different sides in a liberal ambush, I just shot at the first person I saw.

I usually forget about the down vote/up vote thing, but I notice Crow Pie is trailing 20-9. Better put on the rally cap.

I don't think I did to you specifically, but I will now. It's a slippery slope bh when you start selecting who can and can not vote. Plus it's un-American, but that's just my opinion.

Well most sane people don't consider SSI as welfare since you've been paying into it for many years I'm sure.

Congrats you lucky bastige.

I guess I wasn't clear. Are you talking general intelligence tests, or specifically civics/government tests?

I like Scruffy, but I'm not sure you can always take him seriously. He's a bit of a gadfly.
