Ok, there's a reason why the voting age isn't 13 or 14.. Most people at those ages don't really have an idea of MOST things, not to mention politics - it would be a really, really, really bad idea if people under 18 voted. I'm 17, and most people my age don't even know who Canada's prime minister is. They had NO idea we had elections just a few months ago. Hell, they don't even know what the difference between Liberal and Conservative is!
So it should not be under 18.. no. Taylor`` |

How many 13 or 14 year olds do you know are involved in what's going on? Sure, maybe a hell of a lot of 18 year olds don't know what's going either, but it's a good age to start paying attention. |
