How insane is it that college kids are allowed to vote?

During the Viet Nam war 18 year-old kids were being drafted and shipped off to die.

The argument then for lowering the voting age was that if you were old enough to die for your country, you should be old enough to vote.

But also in those days the college kids got deferments and did not have to serve in the military.

what is insane is to let liberals vote. Or how about anyone who lets his pants sag to his butt crack, or gets a EBT Card, or thinks The View is a great show. Or sits around smoking weed and eating fruit loops. Or thinks Lena Dunham is really smart and talented. Just stop those people and things might just clear up.

Or maybe we should just elect a dope smoking liberal senator community organizer. Yep, that's should fix things.

waahhhhh! wahhhhhHhhh! only people who will vote like me should be allowed to vote! Waahhhhhhh! tard...

If they an go to war, they can vote, but I think the real problem is that liberal college students can vote. That may seem extreme, but hear me out--I don't think anyone who disagrees with me should be able to vote. Take that, libtards

I see I've been beaten to the punch by similar posts. God damn you to hell Obama!

People against gay marriage shouldn't be allowed to vote. Or people against abortions.

it makes sense that a large student population shouldn't overwhelm the local political scene. However, it is my understanding that this doesn't happen very often. When I voted in college, I voted in my home state/town because it was very time consuming to change all that information.

While I agree most college age people lack experience and knowledge of the real world, I find people over the age of 50 to be the least intelligent demographic to the point a large portion of them come across as borderline retarded to me. I definitely know plenty who are smart, but the trend seems to be people that age have lost touch with reality, changing times, etc, and have not stimulated their brains intellectually in any significant way for decades. I know more about US and wold affairs simply by listening to NPR a few minutes per day than my grandmother does by having Fox News on literally around 10 hours every day.

Use the roman troll rating I/X. They don't have a 0.

Sounds like someone wants his country back.

I actually laughed at the OP's vignette. Funny observation.

I didn't say ALL places.

So you get straight owned and your response is "I didn't say ALL places?"

Urine idiot.

I also didn't get owned. The town in question is doing exactly what I said many places do. They're ruling that on-campus addresses can't be used to establish local residency. Meaning that the out of town students can't vote in local elections.

No, they are not allowed to rule in that way, so they are making it more inconvenient for students to vote. For doing that, they are getting vilified in the media.

He's right to say that one example does not discredit his original claim, but one shouldn't expect intelligence from a person named "urine detector".

They're vilified because it's a predominately black college in the south and the GOP has put other voter restrictions in place.

Here's an example of a law in another state:

And an explanation of the greater concept:

App State is not a predominantly black college. WTF? It's a bunch of white kids who couldn't get into NC State.

You're definitely right. I misread the article. There were two schools, App State and Elizabeth City State. The latter is historically black, and the GOP is getting flack for trying to do the same thing there.
