kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2003 Personally, I feel if someone is old enough to pay taxes, then they should be allowed to vote. Not when they're old enough to get an allowance. But could you imagine the stump speeches? "A rattle toy in every diaper bag..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted September 2, 2003 Totally better lunch at school. Reminds me of a joke from Conan O'Brien that with the giving of the vote to children, the winner of the next Presidential election --- by a landslide --- was President Mommy. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2003 Meh, it's just a publicity stunt to point out that children aren't properly represented by the German government.

Technically, there is no overriding public good in disallowing first cousins to marry. Yes, it's nasty --- but it's not the job of the gov't to prevent it. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
