GOOD NEWS -
16 YEAR OLDS TO GET THE VOTE!
|
|
| Lord Falconer recommends that teenagers of sixteen should get the vote to encourage them to get more interested in politics. Great idea this. It's an interesting idea in many respects though there are fundamental question marks over the issue. First off, just which sixteen year olds are they talking about. The sixteen year olds that despite all the warnings, the images, the costs the absolute evidence that smoking kills insist on puffing away. They've never been better informed about the dangers of smoking and yet a huge percentage of them insist on polluting their lungs and healthy bodies to prove how tough or grown up they are. What about the binge drinking sixteen year olds who's idea of fun is to get so hammered on anything alcohol - despite being under age - they drink until they collapse or get into fights or choke on their own vomit. Or could it be those sixteen year olds who like stealing the property of hard working people - namely their cars - which they them proceed to destroy and drive around the streets at high speed "for a laugh!" putting everyone including themselves in danger. Or could it be the track suited and baseball hatted sixteen year olds who moronically hang around shopping centres and other public places with nothing better to do do than talk endlessly on their mobile phones posturing waiting desperately to get older so they can hang around bars getting drunk. Could it be the gay sixteen year olds, not yet aloud to have sex on the grounds that they can't yet be responsible enough to decide whether or not they truly are gay. Can't wait to see what hormonal , burger eating, chain smoking, booze swilling teenagers will do the day they get out of bed (around 1 or 2 in the afternoon of course) to vote having made a supposedly valued decision as to who would be best in government, when they find it hard enough to decide their own futures and what trainers they will favour for the day. Great Idea Lord Falconer. Perhaps you could have a couple of them advising you on the common sense of your argument. No doubt it will suit the Labour party as most teenagers are militant leftists before they wake up and smell the capitalism that will affect their futures. Its very easy to be an idealist whilst you are still living at home with mummy and daddy. Perhaps if they gave the vote to only those sixteen year olds who no longer lived at home it would be a more balanced argument for that particular idea but personally, we at Bullshit News think its as barking as some of those clowns who sit in the second house dreaming up such schemes! | |
