How about a solvency test.
Net takers get no vote due to conflict of interest.

No. Because the point is that people under the age of 25 are easily susceptible to brainwashing and aren't really capable of making up their own minds.



Cmon man. The shopping network, QVC, and TV evangelicals say hello.

All supported primarily by dumb old people.

It's a sad truth of biology. Past your reproductive window... Performance, including cognitive functions, begins to decline.

The rational part of a teen's brain isn't fully developed and won't be until he or she is 25 years old or so.

In fact, recent research has found that adult and teen brains work differently. Adults think with the prefrontal cortex, the brain's rational part. This is the part of the bran that responds to situations with good judgment and an awareness of long-term consequences. Teens process information with the amygdale. This is the emotional part.

That just means your brain works slower. But it still works in a rational manner.

Good thing Hillary did not win, she would have not been in good shape making decisions for the masses. Trump is the same age but not the same physically or mentally.

Oh I know that to be true. But why would we let people with declining cognitive abilities vote if we are approaching this subject from a scientific standard?

So you want to restrict people's right to vote based on how they worship? Interesting.

I'm not making it up. He's a 30 year old professor with a phd in psychology who went to school at MU and worked in Germany for a couple of years in a research lab and he loves to brag about how intelligent he is, how much great work he has done, how he could've worked anywhere he wanted just about and how awesome his life is.


Then grow a fricking set and make it public. Go to the newspapers, tv, and the president of the university. Just don't be so cowardly as to come on here and post the shite anonymously and then act like you're taking the fricking high road because you're doing it anonymously.

You're full of shite. Awe, did the mean professor take your manhood? Does he have your balls in a jar on his desk?

Or are you just a liar making up some bullshite that never happened?

It's not just speed. Information procrssing and memory weaken as well. They score lower on every metric.

Did you say anything? Do you know that research shows the human brain hasn't completed its natural development until age 25? That's a much better argument to raise the voting age to 26.

But they are still capable of using their brain for rational thought, it's just not as sharp as it was. If we're using your metrics we should have an IQ test to vote.
