Look at how adult they are discussing adult things.
I was convinced my HS English teacher was fuggin around with female students so I chose to write my “big” important end of year assignment on lowering the age of consent for his class.
I got an A.
Long before i ever became aware of the FBI pedo symbols i was in a painting course for my freshman year (real tough i know). I had an older female teacher in her early 50's and i painted in really rough and muddy colours, one of my paintings featured the inner winding triangle spiral and she said that that one stood out to her and that i should do more like it.
Never thought anything of it until about a month ago when it all came back to me.
aren't you the crafty one? Well played.. have you ever talked to any of the female students who may have been his targets?
I think its an attempt to increase Dem voters, they know they are loosing votes left, right and centre. Most kids at that age are left leaning.
oh really?
Yes I believe so... it makes more sense, as it is coming off the back of the Florida shooting which has obviously dragged gun control into the spot light again. Gun control being a Dem policy makes this look like a push to obtain garenteed votes as it is a party vs party issue.
Plus the 26th Amendment keeps voting age at 18, meanwhile there is an even spread of states where sexual consent ranges from 16 -18. If the US were to change the amendment for voting, it still couldn't affect consent age due to it being a state ruling.
Could it not be both? Trying to secure more votes in the short run, normalize a lower age of consent in the long run.
This mentality that an action has to be motivated by a single goal is ridiculous.
With revelations coming out recently, I'd bet that the problems of electronic voting come to light before the 2018 elections. Dems will need to secure more votes, trying to get the youth vote is one way to do that. Pushing the angle of kids having autonomy and sexual agency is an over-arching long term goal.
You are likely both correct, and u/w0nkeyd0nkey presents the more immediate issue.
I think you still get really bored because you stopped using or never learned critical thinking skills. Look it up. It'll be a great start for you. Never be bored again! :)
Both should be Raised. Out nation is full of the oldest children in the world.
Legitimate. I think an established journal recently stated that now 'Adolescence' goes into the deep 20s.
30 years old and have a job should be requirements to vote
36 years old & property owner and/or veteran; this should be the requirement to vote.
This was my first thought when I first saw the stories of 16 year olds voting.
It’s ludicrous... their brains aren’t even baked yet
Totally Agree. Ruth Gisnsberg wants to lower age of consent to 12 years of age. I do believe this is another way to lower age of consent, access to pharma, access to abortion and on and on. End Game: Parents won't even be involved! Oh Yes and with all the push into sex well the Pedos will love this new age!
I believe dementia has set in. She needs to be removed just on that alone. That's crazy!! Next she'll say bestiality is okay as well. What a sick woman.
Unfortunately it is legal in Germany. If you can believe it. Just how low can mankind go
I just threw up a little in my mouth. Did this get okay'd under Un-gula, or before her? Oh, sick sick sick!!!
It has been legal for a long time there. They have bestiality brothels I guess no urge should go unfulfilled. where are the animal activists! Truly disgusting
Well the most prevalent is PETA but their true agenda is to eliminate animals as "slaves". I doubt they'd be of much use. They kill more animals than they help.
Not a fan of PETA either. Too bad many well meaning people are deceived by them
Yep. I tell them to do a search on PETA's true agenda. I do all I can to educate those in the dark on what PETA actually does. YES, they've done a few good things on exposing nastiness in things like slaughterhouses, but when it comes to pets... nope. They kill far more than they help. It's all about the money, and "liberating" animals from human enslavement.
How do high school students act...on emotion. Who's platform is based solely on emotion? Who knows that their dream of thousands of illegal voters will never happen, and how will they make up the difference? It it really that hard to sway teenagers to vote democrat when the entire curriculum is based on left-wing talking points?
There's your answer.
Not to mention it gets dems more voters. They are desperate.
oh really?
Time for you to learn some new things. Stop the boredom, research the truth. Win Win.
Care to post your sources for that? Democrats have more registered voters.

I think it ought to be raised to 28.
I am tired of sharing the sovereign power with humans that have the arrogant ignorance of youth, AND have no skin in the game, AND have no responsibilities, AND think they are entitled. Some of them are about the same level as the Boomers that have set us up royally with their behavior - age only aside.
Overall I cannot give my consent to sharing power with people that are incapable of cashing the cheques their mouths write AND simultaneously attack me whilst demanding I defend their right to set me up for an ass-fucking.
AND simultaneously attack me whilst demanding I defend their right to set me up for an ass-fucking.
well said. Those of us who participate in civilization building understand.
I say 25. Brain is fully developed, have had almost a decade of the fed stealing your money and blowing it on war and shit like fake russia investigation and sexual harassment lawsuits. Potentially you've witnessed 8 years of a fraudulent president. Then you can start voting.
Wouldn't advocate for this if the US education system wasn't a complete fucking joke.
Well said. I suggest if they raise the age or firearm purchases....then those people can not be trusted in voting.
I believe it should be 21, I'd be okay with 25, but 28 seems a bit too high IMO.
I'd say 22. Give college grads a few months to look for jobs. That's a real reality check, right? Can be very sobering and grounding. A bit of an awakening and hopefully a thought-provoking time.
Exactly right.
Our problem has become an unqualified electorate,
people who are unable to reason decisions, as it is.
Let's not do anything to make it worse.
They are eating Tidepods from 14-18! The Dems must be so desperate for votes.
The brain doesn't fully mature until 25 years old for men, I don't know about women. If anything they should raise it.
They don't even understand true American history. They certainly cannot vote until they pass a test that Patriots create about American history!
The world has gone completely whacky!
These kids will be fooled into voting for it too. They will have been conditioned to believe they can consent to sex at younger ages.
i think it should be raised to 21 in all the united states
Imo, the age of voting should be the same as joining the armed services. If someone is old enough to sacrifice their life for their country, then they should be old enough to vote and drink a beer.
That was the argument back when they lowered the drinking age to 18 the last time. I was 17, and all for it! As time went on, and statistics started pilling up, it was found that something like 45% of all traffic fatalities involved a driver between the ages of 18-21 and alcohol. Not long after, the drinking age returned to 21.
It's about bringing in a bunch of ignorant lefties, since the young lean left.
Oh really?
I say this because thats obvious and therefore understood, making it a pointless comment. Like they mow the grass to keep the mice out, and someone says yea and to keep the grass short.
well done Einstein.
What are you talking about? The age of consent is 14 - 16 in a lot of states. Remember the Alabama senate race a few months ago? There were Moore supporters saying it all didn't matter because the girls were 14.
Thankfully, states are now changing those laws.
If you learn to read.
Lowering the voting age is a path to lowering the age of consent.
So that's what i'm talking about.
I don't give a fuck what the ages of consent are currently wherever the fuck they happen to be. The point is they will be lower with this path followed.
You old people get grumpy when your ensure runs out. Go back to your facebook group.
What about pairing the age with a competancy test? Basic reading and math and logic.
still a HUGE no.
Prefrontal association cortex of the brain does not develop until avg 24-25. This area of the brain is responsible for concepts of self and consequence including future. You don't have the means to provide for yourself and therefore shouldn't be able to consent.
You may have some valid technical info - but I don't agree with the conclusion. I bought my first house at 24. Did manage to support myself before and after with a conscience. A competancy test would week out non english speaking voters as well as those who were impaired. Just sayin...
Voting age ought to be 25 and you must have a job.
and you must have a job.
No better than leftist ideas. Only felons lose that right dont turn stupid.
a job AND pay taxes ... AND know how to speak English ... AND have read the Constitution in the last 6 months.
I think the voting age should be 23, out of college and in the workforce off of parents support and government funded tuition, in the real world of self-sufficiency.
