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.


Congratulations on your logical fallacy

Not allow them to vote? Does he mean the people who were slogging through the rice paddies in Vietnam, losing their lives on behalf of a barely appreciative country occupied by asswipes like him? I'm sure I could round up a few of those "senior" citizens to kick his sorry arse to the curb.. This is what's teaching kids in college today.. then, they have the nerve to ask taxpayers for more money to blow on useless classes and salaries for these losers.. Anyone not deserving to vote are people like him... Sorry this kind of stuff pisses me off!

If OP goes to U of A, there is a guy about 30 on the U of A psychology staff who has a PhD from Mizzou. Looking at his CV, he specializes in things like gender identity issues and psychological research in minority communities.

Looks like the prime candidate if indeed our OP goes to U of A.

If we are going to raise the age to vote based on cognitive development.. then yeah, we shouldnt let old people vote regardless of their sacrifices.

Again, old people's brain still works. It's just slower.

Young people's brains literally aren't fully capable of thinking logically.

Why does the left hate science. Seriously, the left denies science more than the right does to satisfy their social justice than the right does about climate change.

Piss on that.

My aunt was telling me yesterday that her friend's grandmother, who just turned 100, had her son drive her back to Baton Rouge because she wanted to vote for Trump.

Cenentarians are ready to MAGA!

You should go report him to the dean and say that you were offended. Saying something like that in the workplace could get you fired.
I would too, time to make academia account for this mess.

That they'll be dead soon anyway and not to let their racist, sexist ideas influence an election in this country.

So we should let uninformed and immature 18 year olds decide the future of this country?

Like, man, rad!

You should have anticipated lunacy like that. You should have been recording him. You should have stood up and told him that he was a fricking idiot and walked out flipping him off and then walked straight to the Deans office and showed him the video. Then you should have told him that he has one hour to go address the comments with the professor and make him make a public apology to the class. If not, you will have the video on YouTube within the hour and they can deal with the PR situation that ensues.

I had a professor, and almost an entire class, cry Wednesday morning over the results. Me and the one other conservative in the class just had to sit there and get death stares.



Worth it.

I'm a senior citizen and am not insulted in the least by this educated but not smart person. I'm not insulted because I beat him to it by years. I said college professors should not be allowed to vote due to their ignorance of what is happening in the real world that they are not connected.

I think the saying is something like those that cannot do, teach.

He should be pushing for the resignations of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi (both 76) then. If there are people that are too old to vote, then they sure as shite would be too old to be leaders, right?
