Calls to Lower Voting Age as Tide Pod Generation Suddenly Bestowed With Great Wisdom

[GURPS]

It was only a few short weeks ago when the dangerous craze of teens eating Tide detergent pods and posting the videos on social media had gotten so out of control that YouTube and others removed the videos so as to not encourage them. New England Patriots superstar Rob Gronkowski even teamed with the manufacturers of Tide to put out a short video discouraging it.

But in less than a month, the Tide Pod Generation has gone from being a great American shame to being our current leaders in the “debate” on how to run the country.

All that it took was one school shooting, a well-funded and highly-coordinated anti-Second Amendment movement and a crooked cable television network falsely presenting itself as a legitimate source of news and Americans are being scolded by teenagers who have somehow become wise beyond their years and are presented as morally superior to their elders.

Increase the age to buy a gun, but lower the age to vote. If you're not adult enough to buy a gun, you're sure as hell not adult enough to vote.

Voting Age: 21
Gun Purchase: 21
Military Servcie: 21
Liquor/Cigarette Purchase: 21
Driving: 21
Age of Consent: 21

Make them all the same age.

Agree. You're either an adult or you're not.

Honestly, the way we've turned our young people into infants in this country is a disgrace.

Not even one original thought in the bunch.

Wow...that's actually not a bad idea...completely nullifies all the arguments.

Only item that is debatable is driving...18-21 year olds have to get to work, get to college, get the hell out of the house.

I could get behind this.

Maybe 18 they get a restricted drivers license. No driving after say 10pm.

So are we going to send them to juvenile detention until 21 also?

Don't ask me - I think 18 is still a good age of legal adulthood. But if the politicians want to keep them babies until they're 21, it should be across the board and not pick and choose.
