[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way. If anything, we should raise the voting age to 21. [/quote] I also think there should be a cutoff at 80. Don’t make decisions for my future, our planet, etc when you’re going to be dead in 5 years. [/quote] As long as they are paying taxes, these 80 YOs have every bit as much of a right to vote as you do. How do you know for certain that YOU will be alive in 5 years?[/quote] And a lot of 18-21 year olds are working jobs and paying taxes. [/quote] But their brains are not fully formed. Hard to let those we know lack full capability with respect to decision making, make decisions. On the other hand, folks with dementia should not vote either. Follow the science. [/quote]
