Would you say that the professors comments would have triggered you?

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.


I'm making the argument that we should not restrict people under the age of 25 from voting because their brains are not fully functional when old peoples (who can vote) have brains that aren't fully functional either.

Yeah.. the people who have largely voted once (or never) in their lives.. doing more work than the dumb old fricks from the greatest generation who are directly responsible for this:

Trick question. All of them. I wouldn't have been able to vote without looking at a map. Weird arbitrary Prime Meridian line messing things up.

I'd be willing to let under 25s count as 3/5ths of a vote.

He said that the people who are in charge now tho are open minded enough to only take away the votes of those who are close minded. (So people who don't think the way he does)


Was this before or after the election?

Anyone that gets money from the government shouldn't be able to vote.

Girls also probably shouldn't be able to vote. That whole pregnancy stuff just makes their innate nature wildly selfish and often unable to see the macro issues.

Really just business owners should be able to vote. You of course should have a minimum revenue generation, like maybe $100,000, to show it's a legit business. It also can't be in corporation form that limits your liability. You want to vote you have to take responsibility.

Please tell me you didn't just sit there and not say something?

If not, you're a coward.

They should be given two votes, they have enough experience to make an informed choice!

Let's take away a public employee's right to vote because it's a conflict of interest! This guy obviously has a screw loose.

You have to rope-a-dope the liberals into saying stuff. My buddy's family are big time liberals. His ma pointed out Trump's speeches are at a third grade level. I say yeah it's a shame but it's what you have to do to connect to the general populace. She agrees. I say voters aren't as smart as they used to be, she agrees. I follow with these schools don't teach, we both know I'm talking government, she agrees. I then say school used to be a lot harder and voters smarter, she agrees. Then say politicians used to give great, verbose speeches to their smart voters, she agrees again. I then say that's when we only let white men vote. She hates it, but she already basically agreed to it a few times in different ways.

So take away rights of the living and let their votes count when they're dead?
