Don't ever argue with the Big Dog because the Big Dog is always right" Sat, 11 Feb 2012 16:25:29 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Adam http://www.onebigdog.net/the-death-of-the/comment-page-1/#comment-245 Adam Wed, 02 Mar 2005 23:04:50 +0000 http://www.onebigdog.net/?p=286#comment-245 Well, the largest group of voters for Democrats ARE the young ones. Maybe you're right. The Democrats are just always duping somebody... You stated an argument based on maturity though. I agree somewhat though. The average American isn't as informed as they need to be, and it would only get worse with younger people. However, that's not how voting works. As for maturity, it is pretty relative if you ask me. I'm not sure if I agree with making the voting age younger myself. Not by four years anyway. Although, getting children involved earlier in life could be a good thing. It's something I need to think about for a bit... Well, the largest group of voters for Democrats ARE the young ones. Maybe you’re right. The Democrats are just always duping somebody…

Here's what Justice Anthony Kennedy <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/01/scotus.death.penalty.ap/index.html" rel="nofollow">writing for the majority</a> said, "...opinion against the juvenile death penalty, resting in large part on the understanding that the <b>instability and emotional imbalance of young people</b> may often be a factor in the crime." And following up on the point you made re: the sniper and mind control, fully supports the point I was trying to make in that Democrats are targeting a segment of the population they know will be easy to manipulate and control in their voting practices. It falls in lockstep with their pandering to other groups that are easily duped by broken promises and false hopes. I didn’t.

I don't think I'd relate the age you can vote to the age you can be sentinced to death. Jason:

But what if it's true? Maybe they can reform indeed. In the case of the DC Sniper, wasn't that an issue of mind control, a key issue in young people? It seems so long ago now. I'd honestly not thought about it in a while until you brought it up... Perhaps, Big Dog. But what if it’s true? Maybe they can reform indeed.

It doesn't mean they get away with murder. They will still spend life in prison. “…the Supreme Court just told the youth of America that they can kill and not pay with their lives.”
