Lower The Voting Age To 16?
Categories: News
Lower the voting age to 16? What kind of crackhead ass methed out motherflucking idiot thinks that 16-year-olds are full of pearls of wisdom and should be given the right to vote? Certain people in Oregon think that. Were you getting jealous of all the attention Florida gets for being America’s live-action version of a walking clusterfluck?
Voting is a pretty big responsibility and…well…without insulting 16 year olds too much…
…it’s just that we’re not exactly sure that entrusting the nation and it’s policies to someone whose biggest concern is what they are going to wear to school so they impress Becky and get a date to the prom, is a great idea. Look we’re sure Becky is totes worth it dudes and you’ll like totally be together forever. Just like all high school sweethearts, 100% of the time always. (sarcasm)
Look, if we want to know what the latest gossip is about the Kardashians or some other menial stupid bullshit about catching us outside (how ’bout dat) or we want to know how to be absolutely terrified on the freeway and an all around shit driver. By all means, let’s ask the 16-year-olds. But aside from that…meh.
We’re sure there are some 16-year-olds out there with some great ideas. But having once been 16, we’re basing our opinion on our own actions, that while we are…intelligent, we still make really short-sighted poor decisions. Luckily these decisions aren’t as impactful as say…running a country, and they teach us about consequences, cause and effect, so on and so forth, but at the age of 16, the number of decisions you can make that will devastatingly impact your life…are relatively small.
Like we said, not slamming 16-year-olds, but having been 16 once, and now knowing what we know…16 year olds don’t know shit all. In fact, they (and we, when we were 16 years old for that matter) don’t even know what they don’t know.
Bad move Oregon, get back to us when you can pump your own gas and not freak out.
Bad idea all around.
Obviously, for some with a political agenda they would love to get their vote.
At 16… I would imagine that many would want “FREE” stuff. However, even most adults still don’t understand that nothing is ever really “Free”; someone is paying for it…just might not be you.
I am sure they would also be for an extended summer vacation and shorter school days too.
Best bet, for now, is let them vote for Homecoming King and Queen, student council members, Chess Club President etc…
Plenty of time ahead for “adulting.”
It’s Oregon. WTF do you expect?
First.. piss off with the Florida shit. It’s TWO counties dumbass Broward n Palm Beach, both run by cowardly Democrats, the rest of us have our shit wired tight. Hell the county that was leveled by a hurricane like the Marines hit it so hard the Navy couldn’t follow up and hang curtains got their shit done on time with no illegal voters.
Next.. the same ppl wanting 16 yr olds to vote are the same ones making excuses for the quadruple widowed ISIS wife ( thanks for those rounds on target) saying she was only a kid n didn’t know what she was doing when she left the land of 7/11’s for Syria.
Says a lot for democrat thought process
It’s a joke don’t take it so hard bro. And agreed on the second part.
Raise the voting age to 25 (unless you join any branch of military) . Psychologically speaking, the prefrontal cortex isn’t even done forming yet.
