| 561504 | 2007-06-23 10:58:00 | There should be a cut-off for people who choose imarubberducky as a username. 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. I don't know where you get off questioning my ability to "proffer a sane opinion to parliament." Can you even tell me what a sane opinion is? One that agrees with yours? A lady once wrote into the Dominion Post calling the Labour Government Nazi's because they were taking our silver coins and replacing them with cheap imitation silver ones. Not only was the Reserve Bank responsible for the change, but of course the old coins were not silver. Yet this lady can vote. And you call my opinion insane. Let call things as they are. You think because of my age (17) and my username that I'm an arrogant immature idiot. I think I still have a lot to learn, but consider my self well-informed, having been reading the paper since I was 12 and a lot of books. I will accept that I do not represent all youth, probably not even a majority, but I hope that a change like this will encourage more involvement in politics and issues that affect us. 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... Oh come on. What was the big issue at last years election? Tax cuts. Seems like it wasn't just teenagers that cared about getting money. NOTE: I'm not saying I'm against tax cuts, just trying to disprove this point. Some people believed that tax cuts would improve our countries well-being in the long run - and I have no problem with that opinion. This is a democracy after all. |

| 561506 | 2007-06-23 11:31:00 | Too bad metla. I'm 18 before the end of the year, so i will be having a say in things next year. Good old democracy. |

| 561509 | 2007-06-23 16:48:00 | Too bad metla. I'm 18 before the end of the year, so i will be having a say in things next year. Good old democracy. Wait till you are 18,then enlightenment will prevail,that is the nature of man. |
