      Old enough to raise a whole ass human, slaughter edible living things, slaughter edible flying living things… but not old enough to decide what changes affect your community.

      Wow.

              Imagine a bunch of Oregon trail style settlers hiking to the entrance to Wisconsin, and the German starts whooping and hollering and the rest look like they’ve seen a ghost lmao

                Knowing that side of the family he probably fought a bear for fun while in a berserk fury on the way there. Or he beat someone to death, its honestly 50/50.

      I actually don’t think most of our society is qualified to vote.

      Voter rights should be determined by whether or not you know anything about what you’re voting for, not based on your age. People should have to pass a test every year.

        The problem with this line of thinking is who would set the standard for the test? The current controlling power would skew things so only their supporters are now qualified to vote. In order to have a free and fair election every citizen needs the right to vote, otherwise we might as well just go back to the days that only white male landowners get to vote.
