You are one that gets their feelings hurt. Trump really must tear you down after reading what he says.

Na, I'm the one laughing at you for you being in your feelings in this thread. Go reread it, got defensive really fast.

It's funny where you've taken this thread because of how emotional you've gotten.

No, the age of adulthood must be arbitrarily set somewhere. The age to vote, buy alcohol, enter into a contractual agreement, buy a weapon, go to war should be one age. 18.

The problem is universal suffrage and corruption. This may sound bigoted but on average/overall there is a net negative of women and low-IQ people voting. We should acknowledge the facts of nature, including biology and the difference between men and women in their ability to logically and reasonably make decisions rather than decisions based on emotions.

There is no constitutional right to vote. Congress should pass voting restrictions:
- must be legal US citizen
- must have IQ over 85 (this eliminates about 35% of the population)
- must have Y half of 23rd chromosome
- must pass citizenship test and IQ test and acquire license to vote (free of charge paid by the government)

Full auto machine guns, suppressors, and more should be legal for any 18 year old with no more than 1 hour waiting period. Sorry, the constitution says “shall not be infringed”.

Violent criminals should be swiftly given a speedy trial and then executed in public by hanging or crucifixion like the Romans did to Jesus (just kidding, Jesus wasn’t real, but serious about the crucifixion. Bodies of violent criminals should be left hanging on the pole as the carrion birds picked out their eyeballs. Executions should occur in the criminals’ home neighborhoods for all to see.

If we do that, and repeal the 14th, 17th, and 19th amendments, we won’t have a voting problem, a corrupt government problem, a “gun problem”, or jails filled with criminals sucking on the taxpayer teat. Women should have every right a man has, except voting, as they are already represented by the other 50% half of the population that is more capable on average of making rational decisions.

Your suggestion is fair. It’s a slippery slope. I’ll piss off many by bringing this up. Something needs to change, though.

So you agree age isn’t the problem? Well that was a quick beat down.

Thanks for playing.

Let me tell you something you smirk motherfricker. You are not big and bad here on the internet. I’m sure you have many aliases here on this site. You look to cause problems and are pretty much a pussy. Go play your Nintendo.

I think test should be given. Something basic like the citizenship test.

Ten questions. Fill it out in the voting booth along with the ballot.
Have vote counting machine score it. If the score is less that 70%, just ignore the vote.

You can drive a car at 16.
You can join the military at 18.
You can drink at 21.
But you're not a responsible person until 25?

Only folks that own and pay property tax or have a job should vote

I agree as the human brain isn't fully developed until age 25. Not popular but drinking age should be the same.

The only folks that should be voting are those of us who actually pay taxes. And only one member of each household.

If you believe that a 16 year old today is the same as one 30 years ago you’re nuts. When I was 16 I was driving $200,000 worth of farm equipment down the highway.

Most 16 year olds today can’t start a damned lawnmower

You have a valid point, they have no life experience, done nothing, created nothing. Easily influenced by pop culture and whats socially fashionable at the time. They will also have valid argument, (the sacred right to vote) is being taking away. And if they are old enough to be drafted in the army then they are old enough vote. What u said makes sense and make the country less clown show but its not feasible.
