Meet the Bloggers: Michael Moore Calls for a Lower Voting Age

[temp1arX]

Kids are stupid. Dumb shits like Moore indoctrinate them. They are largely spoiled ungrateful brats who believe people should pay for their college, health care, and housing. Moore would love that, because he's a dirty socialist who never grew out of that stage of his life.Try this, you can vote after paying $40,000 worth of taxes.

Fuck you Michael.

Why does a lower voting age work for Michael Moore? Kids are impressionable, even more consumed by gizmos and commercialism and "what's cool" than adults. Kids don't understand political arguments. I was one not too long ago. I wouldn't want the 16 year old version of me voting because I didn't understand the issues. I was a product of my school and my parents. Kids will listen to Michael Moore because they love celebrities. Can we bring back George Carlin from the dead? He'd know what the say.

@surfer53 Out of your ass.

Michael Moore believes this because he himself is also a child. What a ridiculous idea from an even more ridiculous man.

Voting age should be 21 or maybe 25.

Driving age should be moved up to 18 or 21

[iamboy1234]

This is the first time I disagree with Michael Moore. He's right about everything he's said except for this. I find it ridiculous that the driving age is 16 and the voting age is 18. If anything, the driving age should go up to 18 because most kids under 18 don't know the consequences of most of their actions. The consequences of cheating on an exam don't matter that much in life, but the consequences of driving erratically can be lethal. Young people are more irresponsible than ever.

[PolemicalCommentary]

I think you assume too much. The voting age definitely should be lowered. "most kids under 18 don't know the consequences of most of their actions" - even if that WERE true as a generalization, you cannot base a blanket rule off of a generalization, that's a "broad generalization" logical fallacy. Most kids are immature does not = all kids are immature. Creating a law that categorically bars youth from voting is a slap in the face to all young people that ARE informed enough to vote.

That's funny, because I think this is the first time I agreed with Michael Moore.

[msjunecleaver]

if they are responsible for so much even driving at 16 i agree with you Michael. But I haven't found anything to disagree with.
