Re. Reagan:

Well, there was the Iran-Contra affair, the bombing in Beruit, terrorist support in Nicaragua, his support of apartheid-era South Africa, his support of the Pinochet military junta in Chile, and he was a pretty dominant figure in the emergence of the American conservative movement.

Also don't forget we received a new economic model Reaganonmics! Where they threw out calculators and computers and used only paper and pencils so if there were mistakes later on they could change them to make them work properly🙂

JFK-----------Cuban Missile Crisis, Bay of pigs. At least when the Bush's invaded they got her done so to speak 😱

During his administration the unemployment and the poverty rate dropped also. Considerable amounts.
I'm not supporting him, at all. I'm saying he's hardly number two in the worst presidents list.
Oh and anyone who knows anything about South American politics would know that Pinochet's dictatorship was necessary for the country's economic growth.

By allowing 16 year olds to vote there wouldn't be any "real" risk persay. What are they going to have a larger turnout at the poles? Maybe a few 16 year old guys will vote for a female president if she is hot enough.................

No way in hell should 16 year olds be allowed to vote.

Why not? Any reason? No? Thought so.

He just said they shouldn't be able to vote in Hell, that's all.

Can't you really say that the invasion worked only when you see a final success?

It was meant to be more light hearted just like my reaganomics piece. JFK's barely made into cuba with the bay of pigs just to the beach head, Bush stormed right into the country. Thats all I was saying in a light hearted piece.

18 years olds are to stupid to vote letting 16 years old vote won't really help.

Actually we should have IQ tests before voting if you don't score above a certain number you shouldn't be allowed to vote and after that we should have other tests to find out if you know who you are voting for and know the political points of that particulair party before your vote is cast. That would save us all a lot of trouble and make the country a hell of a lot better, it would also reduce the lines at the voting offices.

Well. I don't think that 16 year olds are any more stupid than 18 year olds...so I don't see the point. This lie "18" is jsut randomly selected...makes no sense.

Well I wouldn't want to let 18 year olds vote either, but unfortunally there is a age where people become adults, and with that have the right to vote. Far to early, but I see no reason to allow even more idiots to vote... Besides we don't get a lot of rights until we are 18 unless all of those laws are changed as well 16 year olds shouldn't be allowed to vote.

I mean it would be stupid if I could decide who would lead this country but couldn't smoke, drive, drink, go out into town on a saturday night, order pizza, get my own insurance policy, order pizza, sign contracts.

Well you know everything...

Elitists on parade................can I come to the march!🙂 Seeing as IQ tests would prevent a great deal of people even qualifying to vote if you made the score to be oh say 140 I think thats the baseline for Mensa however people like that tend to be more absorbed in their interests and wouldn't even show up to vote they would be to busy playing mind puzzles and such 😆

130 is the minimum for Mensa.

Well it doesn't have to be 140 just a 100 or something? Whats the average number? Just take that number and use that one. It would prevent a lot of idiots from voting.

Yeah...like ordering Pizza and such....

But still, 18 is jsut so random...

Okay ordering Pizza was a bullshit example, but it just shows that until 18 you can't do a lot of things you can do after you are 18... And unless 16 year olds get the same rights and duty's as adults then they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

and the 18 number is probably based on something. And even if it isn't, I couldn't care less, its still to young because a lot of 18 year olds are idiots and vote for the party that has the cutest guy/girl leading the party.

Well, I basically agree. Just that I wouldn't mind it being 16. Or 35....but I just think 18 is weird....
