I think the age should be changed to sixteen... By the time kids are sixteen, they've been exposed to politics in high school and also most likely have gotten a job. Therefore, they should be able to make such decisions as deciding on taxes and presidents that now affect them. Besides, we have such a problem with young adults voting already that perhaps by lowering the age limit, more kids will want to get involved and perhaps our country will finally begin to speak for themselves. And then EVERYONE WILL STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT
 , because they're able to have a say so.But that's just me. |

To be honest with you MOST 16 year olds dont even know how to wipe ther butt's at 16. I mean its a REALLY big responsibility choosing presidents its not something that is based on moods or surroundings. Everyone is entitled to theri opinion but i think EVERYONE should be ATLEAST 21 before voting and have a notion of what the presidents are about.... Then again thats just Me. |
