I find inspiration on Insta and then often pin it :)

Absolutely not! The voting age should be moved back to 21

There is a strong case for restoring the voting age to 21 with an exception for individuals serving with the military or who have been honorably discharge

Liberals have socialist agenda indoctrinating our kids in the school system. They still live under parents roof, wet behind the ears, NO, NO, NO way they should be allowed to vote yet.

The age for most activities should be raised, not lowered. Children are still children.

18 was stupid and this insane.!!!!!!

They shouldn't even be allowed to drive. They are NOT mature enough.

NO! Children are not taught civics and are too immature. Two basic reasons. It was an idea brought out by politics, not common sense.

I have a 16 year old. He’s not competent enough to remember to brush his hair and teeth, put deodorant on, put clean clothes on after you shower. No thanks. Leave it to someone who is older.

Excuse me but... HELL NO... they are NOT all mature enough.

ARE YOU PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR MINDS?

Some 16 year olds are mature enough to vote but I would say 90% are not. Voting is an important act and has to be considered carefully.

At 16 you are to influenced by your peers. At that age you are more concerned with what you will wear out Friday night.

Because 16 year olds are not mature enough to be making those kind of decisions.

Oregon leaders, in their infinite wisdom just moved the smoking age to 21, now want 21 to buy firearms, can't sign a contract til 18, nor live on their own. Now they want more voters, soooooo

Absolutely not. It has been scientifically proven that brains (reasoning centers) are not fully developed until age 25.

16 is much too young. Wait until they are out of the house and earning their own living. Love their energy and idealism, but needs to be tempered with experience and pragmatism.

They are not emotionally mature enough for serious choices, can be too reactionary

They don't know what life is about at 16. Still looking for boy/girl friends.

too young to many immature hormones

Tide pods, condom snorting and common core... I rest my case! Salem doesn't trust people to own a gun until 21, but voting on future policy is fine? Have you met today's teens?

They not mature or ready to vote, they still out here doing dumbass challenges like sniffing condoms, go missing for 2 days and eating tide pods.

You know, 15 is almost 16, why not them? Drivers license? 15 year olds can get a permit after taking the same test. While were at it, lower the drinking and marijuana ages to 15 also.

Yeah because we all new everything at 16 at least we thought we did. Heck I think its should be raised to 25 that's when you finally figure out you don't know everything

Tide pods, condom snorting, ice challenge . . . Need I say more?

At 16 children are vulnerable to peer pressure as well as to people in authority persuading their decisions.

Kids at the age of 16 most likely still live at home with parents, they are not of legal age to make decisions and have not worked full time, paid taxes nor have they paid bills for their own support.

nope they shouldn't be given the right to vote, Legally they aren't responsible for their own lives yet, so why should they be given the privilege of controlling the lives of others.

The canals with water improve on scenic value. Piping would degrade this value.

16 year old minds are still developing and changing. No they are barely old enough to know who they are. If you allow them to vote, might as well let them drink, go to war and handle all other adult r

Just like smoking and drinking age is 18, as should be the voting age. 16 yr olds are still too much under their parents' authority and would probably just vote however their parents tell them.

Before you have the privilege of voting, you should have some skin in the game. Like paying taxes. Being old enough to service in the armed forces, be old enough to be accountable for your actions.

For heaven's sake! It's all part of the same lefty agenda, just like immigration. Knowing that young people tend to lean liberal it means more Dem votes. They couldn't care less about the kids rights.

They're still eating tide pods and burning themselves with erasers and want everything for free are you kidding me it should be raised to 21

Children don't understand what is going on in politics at 16.

Just because they pay taxes, etc. does not mean they know how to vote.....they don't pay attention and have no interest.

there brains are not fully developed

Kids at that age are to vote what parents or other people tell them not using their own mind &/or beliefs. Barely do at 18!!!!!
