No voting, no driving, no drinking, etc. Would set an incentive to become mature and responsible.

Better yet, to gain these rights, you must have been gainfully employed and self sufficient for a period of time.

Drawbacks of the idea / things that would have to be addressed : - Rich jews would try to skirt the system by, for example, putting their kids into pseudo jobs. - Some would commit crimes and insist on being treated as a minor, regardless of biological age. - Lazy fucks would be a burden to their parents for a long time, but we have that already. Might give parents a motive to put their offspring to work sooner.

You sound like the same breed of authoritarian running the world and controlling the NPCs though fear.

Fuck your idea.

What kind of commie bullshit is this? Voting is the one area I think that it may be good to make the participant have some skin in the game. As to drinking, do you own the companies making or selling the drinks? Do you own the stores that sell them? Are you soley responsible for transporting them to the stores to be sold?

Fuck No You Aren't! Same can be said for driving, you don't own all cars, you didn't pay for all roads, you are not the sole arbiter of who gets to use the things that they pay for.

Putting your personal beliefs between the buyer and seller is effectively seizing the means of production, which has always been the comunist wet dream.

It's not the most thought out proposal, for sure. And it literally came to me under the shower :). That's why I posted it, to have holes poked into it. Throw it at the wall and see what sticks. I figured things are never that clear cut.

I had just listened to a podcast where they talked about the Leopold and Loeb murder (TDS 724). https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/leopold-and-loebs-criminal-minds-996498/ They mentioned that age of majority used to be 21 in those days. It's 18 today and the want to reduce it to 17 or 16 here in Germany so these people can vote.

I think I'm noticing a trend where people are less and less mature at that age and beyond. People studying until their 30s and such. There should be some kind of incentive for someone to have made a contribution to society before they earn the right to have a say for all the rest of us.

Gotta go, I'm off to work.

Kids that are 16 have no life experience whatsoever and are taught to trust their teachers. They are the closest to the indoctrination so giving them the vote would be like giving the US Teachers unions several million votes to play with. Terrible plan.

I don't give a shit about age of majority or even if women vote (that's been a tragic mistake). They need to make voting a privilidge given to those who participate in society. Millitary service members, land owners, business owners, etc. People with skin in the game.

If anyone can vote then those who do nothing, build nothing, and earn nothing can simply vote to have everything you do, build, an earn.

I'm against letting future generations have a more pleasurable lives, we had to wait to drink therefor they need to wait at least as long if not longer.
