Ivany2008 05/14/23 12:34:03 AM #57:	I'm Canadian. I have been asking for a max voting/driving age for years now. I've also been asking for a maximum age of election as well. There is no reason to have someone who is 70 years old as Prime Minister or in the case of America, President. At the very least they should force you to take a basic knowledge test to see if you understand each voteable candidate, instead of just putting a name on a ballad. I'll also point out that our Canadian elections are far more fucked up than American elections. We don't elect a Prime Minister. We elect someone in our district, and there are god knows how many districts in each province, and whoever has the majority seats wins the seat as PM. It's completely fucked. The only reason I feel this way is because many of the older generation, at least where I live are looking at things with outdated views. And that shit has caused Stephen fucking Harper to be PM for nearly 10 years, or at least that's what I feel. Anyone with half a brain could look at that man and say wtf are you doing in office. John Oliver even did a piece on him. Trudeau isn't much better, but he is better. <cite>Ivany2008 posted [p:973458350] in Would you ... [t:80440999]...</cite> <quote>I'm Canadian.

But if you wanna sing a love song about Jagmeet Singh then i wont be the one to stop you. Part of me was joking, but the other part was being serious. Where I live, the older generation have very outdated views on how to run the province we live in, and they are the only ones being elected into office. We had sparingly younger people voted into office, which were immediately veto'd by said members of council. I wish I were joking about that. It's gotten so bad, that our province was the only province in the past 5 years to have a decline in population, and I will be one of that many once I get some experience in my field of study. As for Harper, he's just an idiot. Most people in my province hate the guy as his decisions while in office cost a lot of people their livelihood. He focused so much on his own province and left most of the rest of the country on the back burner. I want to see more people under the age of 40 in positions of power in my province. I think it would do my province a lot of good. We've only had older officials in my area, and they don't do anything. They ignore the issues in favor of expensive solutions that still aren't up and running.

Compsognathus 05/14/23 10:58:38 AM #91:	Once you can vote, nothing should prevent you from voting ever again. It doesn't matter if you are on death row, a different country or anything else. The only real age limit that should exist is a max age you can run for office. That should be set at the social security age. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:973463757] in Would you ...

Sad_Face 05/14/23 11:20:33 AM #92:	I don't see the value in putting a cap on a person's age in voting. If I am an old man, a grandfather who successfully raised a generation that successfully raised another generation of persons contributing to society, I have stake in the game, a vested interest in society (the future of my family) so I'd want to have a voice in how the government runs the society I live in. And the government is benefiting directly from the fruits of my labor via taxes and whatever impacts my descendants make. What I am against is having a career as a politician, especially one that is making laws for a field they have zero stake in the overall success of. This will require an all new architecture of a governmental system and I obviously don't have the answers (what constitutes as stake, how do you measure overall success) but there's too much friction in the system. A lawmaker is completely clueless on a new field and their first ears are lobbyists and people with an agenda. In fact this has happened last year in the crypto industry. FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried advised congressmen for the US' policy on crypto when his advice mostly benefited his exchange only and tried to sabotage the overall health for the industry in the US. And flipping back to the career as a politician, I don't believe you should be making laws without putting in contributions to society (before you get to govern or law make) and you don't get to have the opportunity to do so for a lifetime. Ideally I believe that whether through lawmaking or voting, the most important part is that you have stake in the game, as in you have something to lose if you fail to make the correct decision for the field, group, or industry you're influencing. This way people are more incentivized to work towards decisions that benefit the society as a whole as opposed to making decisions that value the individual but has detrimental societal consequences down the line. Prediction markets are an easy example of showcasing the success of this thought process in the market's collective winning records. --- https://i.imgur.com/WmIB016.jpg https://i.imgur.com/53FGj6K.gif <cite>Sad_Face posted [p:973464050] in Would you ...

hockeybub89 05/14/23 2:02:04 PM #96:	I sure hope anyone who supports raising the voting age supports no one under that age paying taxes. Better also raise the drinking, smoking, marriage, joining the military, etc ages. Everyone under the voting age should be legally recognized as a child. You cannot in any way justify someone being a tax-paying adult, working full-time, possibly married with children, not being worthy of their right to vote. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png he/him/they/them <cite>hockeybub89 posted [p:973466507] in Would you ...

FortuneCookie 05/14/23 11:49:21 PM #98:	That would be age discrimination. What we need is for young people to value the vote as much as old people do. We have within our power the ability to shape this nation, but too many make excuses or feel that they shouldn't have to vote. Instead of telling a 75-year-old to stay home, we should be telling 25-year-olds to get out of their homes and vote. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:973475681] in Would you ...
