Funny, i thought he was a bitter old 30 year old Tongue

Too emotional? I think most people are this. Youth might be a little more prone to some forms of it, but I have a extremely emotional whore for a 35ish year old sister. She's not terribly uncommon a personality here from my experience. The other common personality here is the one that is emotional and sexually detached. Precisely where are these 'not too emotional' people? Sleepy

As for under-developed... i thought he was thirty. Pretty under-developed, wouldn't you say? Smile

And I'm with min here... it isn't that he is young and inexperienced, it is that those who write laws are old and have probably long forgotten their youth Tongue

1. I pay income tax (I wash dishes).
2. I do a lot for my community and therefore am a responsible citizen.
Why does age dictate voting restrictions? How can I have my voice heard if I'm not allowed to? I want to vote!

Haha, wrong... but that's a conventional way to see it.

Same here in Australia. I simply vote AGAINST the bigger shower of venal incompetents on offer. Sadly,it's been getting a lot harder in recent years. Was a time it was always the conservatives who were the bigger shower. Last election,I thought "a pox on both your houses!" and voted against both major parties.


I'm quite sure most 15 (and 12 ) year old kids have the same level of interest,understanding and gullibility as the majority of voters. However. I'm not entirely convinced that "they couldn't possibly make worse choices than current voters" is a rational reason for giving them the vote.

@Spatium:

Complaining "this is unfair" and stamping your size 16's is going to get you exactly nowhere. Better you realise this while you are young;it will give you a huge advantage over your peers. I shit you not.
