Michael Moore returned to Meet the Bloggers for a special encore appearance, in which he claimed we should follow the example of other countries and lower the voting age to 16. The answer came in response to a video question from a teenage audience member.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 1:00 Jeesus... I cant tell who I hate more here...

  • "Europe does it, there for we need to!"

    Fuck you Michael.

  • @surfer53 Out of your ass.

  • 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.

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

  • M.M. is scum.

  • MM is sucm

  • Voting age should be 21 or maybe 25.

    Driving age should be moved up to 18 or 21
