My father was dumb, so I thought I would treat him like a computer and punch the information in but unfortunately suffered a couple of BSOD’d and numerous re boots. Ahhhhh, if only Sue was my mother. :lol:	B.M. (505)

Then we won't have any more dementia-ridden idiots voting for national because they're still scared commies will take over the world. Seriously though, I'm glad this bill was introduced. It's nice to see that everyone has such a low opinion of youth. And you're all right. We sit round smoking pot, getting drunk, ditching school and having sex every second of every day. Oh and of course driving souped-up cars and starting fights. You all really need to get over yourselves. You call nearly everyone under 18 too immature to vote, but you're all too immature to distinguish media-hype from true reality. All this bill will do is introduce teenagers to civic education and the idea of voting at a younger age, so hopefully we will have a more motivated and informed population in the future. But lets ignore all that, Sue Bradford introduced this bill, and we don't like her, so it must be bad.	imarubberducky (7230)

Preferably at the neck. If you think you're so mature to vote, drink, f*** etc then you're too over-imbibed to think, let alone proffer a sane opinion to parliment. Grow up another twenty years, then let us hear what you think.	Greg (193)

However, I strongly disagree with Sue's proposal. 16 year olds are far too young and too narrow minded to think extensively for the good of the country in the long run. Many teenagers nowadays care too much about money, getting laid, etc....they simply don't have the correct and necessary mindset to elect a responsible leader. I am not saying all 16 year olds think like the above, but in my experience with friends at schools, boys or girls - most of them are far too immature to elect a responsible leader. I don't know what made Sue propose such a bizarre request - it's either she has no children or needs to get laid to conceive one or two.	qazwsxokmijn (102)

QUOTE] Thats what being a teen is all about. We were there once too. I still stand by my earlier statement though, if you pay taxes you should be able to vote.	rob_on_guitar (4196)
561499	2007-06-23 00:13:00	If the bill passes, who do you think the majority of 16/17 year olds will vote for? One of the numerous polls in my high school classroom was "What political party would you vote for". The overwhelming majority was the National party. This is from teens that would be 16 years old come the 2008 elections	V1sta (6614)
561500	2007-06-23 07:56:00	The following scenario could make life interesting however: just before elections (assuming the age was lowered to 16), text messages were sent nationwide amongst 16 and 17 years olds. On election night the Legalise Marijuana party not only got some seats in parliament, they won the election :eek:	Myth (110)
