Voting at 16

[Sergeant Gleed]

Is there any particular reason it should not be reduced to six?

By their logic, none at all.

Yes, let's have 16 year olds voting......and while we're at it, let's lower the legal drinking age to 14, legal smoking age, 12, let's let kids get a driver's license at, 10!

I do not feel that younger teenagers have the life experience yet to make informed decisions like voting, not all teenagers though, if my nieces and nephew could have voted at that age I would approve (not biased or anything lol) I mean, a 14 year old ran for Governor of Vermont last election, he got like 3% or something, if his somewhat older peers could have voted, who knows...

16 year old's would vote for someone because he calls himself "Deez Nuts".

TEENAGERS do not have the life experiences to make sound choices.

That's why the Rodents troll the colleges for moron socialist supporters.

The stupid get their news from The Daily Show, or worse, from CNN.

People that ignorant should not be allowed outside without a nanny.

Voting should be reserved for adults, the current age of adulthood is 18

Progressive Liberal Democrats like Juan Williams would like to see the voting age be reduced to age 3. Young voters are the most susceptible to directions of others, and not intellectually capable of discerning right and wrong for themselves. That is they are easily molded by outsiders.

This Pre K Dem crowd, bad idea but a topic for another time. This country should have never let the lib prog dems take over edu, they screwed it up. Their scope should be restricted, not expanded in the minds of 3 year olds.

That would eliminate about 63 million current voters.

This comment indicates an obvious lack of maturity.

I would not have lowered it to 18 way back when.
