Should old people be allowed to vote?

Question

Let's face it, most of them are not in full control of their mental faculties. In fact, shouldn't we just euthanize the lot of them?

Answer 1

that's so sweet.

Answer 2

Only if we can do the same for 18 to 25 year olds...for the same reasons.

It goes quickly, I wouldn't make such rulings if I were you! It will be your turn before long!

Answer 3

Aha-what was that question again????

I am sure it will rain in Spain before the cats come home.

Answer 4

Good idea. The old always have no concept of what they are voting for as most policies don't effect them.

We should shoot anyone over retirement age as they attempt to vote.

Answer 5

why not

Answer 6

wtf?!?! what a question...think about this when you are in your 50s and your parents are in their say 70s would you want to euthanize them? (if you do well i feel bad for you)...every person has the right to vote...and those who are not in control of their mental facilities rarely vote...i think you should volunteer at a retirement facility and learn something about these people that you believe should be dead.

Answer 7

Honey, if they can get out and vote, neither you or anyone else has the right to stop them. They probably have more information and experience about important issues than  most people. And to think, your generation may be in charge some day!!!!!!! Frightening!

Answer 8

LOL, maybe we should ban young people from voting (-;

In all seriousness, we don't permit poll taxes or literacy tests to vote in this country. Read your history books.

Answer 9

Quite true, but what criteria would use to make the distinction.

Answer 10

I bet your parents are proud of you.

Answer 11

Where's the line? What do you consider old?

And what happens when YOU make it to that age? Are you going to willingly turn yourself in for elimination?

Why are you assuming that aged = feebleminded?

You do realize that more than half of the people aged 18 to 22 have never registered to vote and will not vote in the 2008 election?

Laws are made by those who actually participate.

Answer 12

I remember quotes from songs:

"I hope I die before I get old".

I also remember:

"Don't trust anyone over 30".

Guess what?  I made it.  The big question for you is will you?

Answer 13

sure we could start with your grandparents,.....

Answer 14

as much as young people like yourself should be able to ask  stupid ****** questions

Answer 15

Old people are the wise ones , they know more about what is going on than the easily fooled young ones.

Of course they should be allowed to vote.

Answer 16

You are obviously a Conservative huh?

Answer 17

What a stupid question. so much for "there is no such thing as a stupid question."

Answer 18

If you stop old people from voting, then nobody would vote.

The elderly are the only people who go to the polls. They young are too lazy or stupid to vote.

Answer 19

Maybe we should euthanize the ignorant...That would be you, for asking such a stupid question. It is our Senior Citizens who actually go to the polls and vote. The young ones don't.. It is our senior citizens that have wisdom, something you are lacking of. Spend some time with a senior citizen you moron, they are inspiring and full of wonderful stories. They have knowledge way beyond your means of intelligence.

Answer 20

you are a mean person don't you realize our wisdom comes from the older generation they are some ones parent and grand parents not dogs. and yes they should vote but you shouldn't you need to grow up

Answer 21

I think they should be able to vote, so long as they don't drive to the polls themselves.  They shouldn't be on the roads.

Answer 22

How rude!  Most "old" people know more about politics and national issues than young people do.  Also, most "young" people don't care enough to vote anyhow.

Answer 23

Of course!

Stupid question - perhaps it is you that shouldn't be allow to vote since it is obvious that you don't have any brains to start with.

Answer 24

lets see...they could not vote...not pay your way thu school..not handle community problems...not buy you presents...not pay taxes...not do volunter work that you may benefit from..............grow up....or shut up!
