126 house representatives voted to lower the voting age to 16

[HighStickHarry]

Seriously what kind of person would even want to win like that? You want your country impacted by the whims of 16 year olds?

When 16 year olds can vote by phone this country will get what it deserves.

You got me. They really don't.

Are we making 16 the age of adulthood officially in the US? If so, then I'll support this initiative. If not, then its moronic. But that means public schools shouldn't be mandatory after 10th grade, you are no longer considered a minor at 16, etc. Is that really where we want to go? Given the way the millenial generation has had trouble of exiting the family household even post High School (as demonstrated by ACA's acceptance of kids up to age 27 being accepted on a parent's medical plans) this seems counter to the direction society has been going.

BTW, R. Kelly supports this initiative as it would make at least half his "sex with a minor" charges disappear.

18, if it’s good enough for the military than it should be the base line for adulthood. I only think tobacco, Marijuana and Alcohol should be 21. The brain has normally fully developed into an adults grey matter by that age.

make it the same age as insurance companies can quit covering them as 'children'

 

[imprimis]

Why not 16? It's the mental age of those 126 who voted for this silliness.

 

[TPOKE]

Girls, parties and beer. That was me at 16 and I was a heck of a lot more mature and in touch than today’s techno slave zombies. Ridiculous.

Is be good with not making age based but any of those actually paying federal income taxes or had paid taxes for at least 10 years.

House voted today to allow illegal immigrants the right to vote. No assurance the Senate will not go along.

Why don't Democrats just come out with what they really mean, only Democrats can be in positions of power.

I don't see Republicans trying to change the rules in any way like Democrats. Today alone we have Democrats voting to allow non citizens of this country voting rights, voting to lower the voting age to 16 while previously supporting the idea of changing the electoral college along with leftist Presidential candidates wanting to do away with the 60 vote threshold for avoiding filibusters in the Senate. This after good Old Harry changed the rules merely requiring a majority to approve judge nominees. What I have seen is Republicans standing up for the rules and refusing to change them when they would benefit greatly from those changes. Now you can continue your foolishness if you wish but it's obvious Democrats are trying to stack the deck in their favor.
Personally I firmly believe we need a voice from all sides to have a government that is truly by the people. When one side has say over everything we no longer have a government by the people for the people we have a dictatorship of one party.

This is what happens when you elect activists. This mindset started when the Community Organizer in Chief was elected. Organizers only care about their cause, however stupid and shallow it might be.

What’s that like? How do they get there? It’s almost like a curse.

Because science says the younger you are and the less experiences you have the better off you are in regards to steering a country.

I’m honestly still shocked by the open and embraced stupidity of liberals. I know I shouldn’t be but it’s fvcking amazing how there’s no intellectual rock bottom.
