The voting age needs to be 40 and up

Another youngn here, 21, but I believe that more gov't is never the answer. I think the main problem can be traced to over-protective parent's (mainly mothers), that shelter their kids from reality and then when they are forced into reality, they're screwed. As long as I can remember if I wanted something then I had to find a way to get it myself, my parents provided everything I needed along with probably more than what deserved for things that I wanted, but this has made me appriciate the things I have more, and given me a desire to work my *** off so I can have more of what I want, and god willing, if I am able to get married and have a family of my own someday I can provide everything that they need, but not everything they want. They need to stop showing all of the political opinions of the celebrities, because as you can see at any checkout line in the country, they have really showed how good they are at making good decisons!, because you have all of these stupid city kids who think of these people as all-knowing gods, see this crap and think it's how they should act. Fix it all by finding a way to get Ted Nugent into office, if you think thats a bad idea just read some of his books before you make up your mind. And just quite worrying about what other countries think of us, we are supposed to be the biggest baddest boys on the block so we should start acting like it! "Speak softly and carry a big stick" Teddy Rosevelt. We don't need to intentionally offend them, but we should take absolutely no **** from anyone! We are AMERICA, that's how we are supposed to be.

I think we have proven that age really has no bearing on ones mental faculties. One only has to look at all the erroneous emails that get sent around by older people to realize cluelessness, and dishonesty, is not restricted to any particular age group.
Afterall, BO is over 40 and most of the words I've heard you use to describe him and his policies are synonymous with cluelessness and stupidity. There is a slight flaw in your lack of reasoning here.
But as always, The price of Tea in China is still the same no matter how often you inform us of the vast amounts of wisdom you have from all your varied experiences.

Blaming youth for the election of Obama is about as logical as blaming blacks, Jews, people with liberal arts degrees or women.

Our generation did most of the inventions you all are using now, we had none of the stuff you grew up with.
Your generation is good at game boy, what a future you will have, but you still pay the bills so enjoy it, so put free health care out there, we get to use it more than you will before it goes broke and you get to pay for it all LOL

Your parents had nothing you grew up with. and they invented most of the stuff you had then. Then as we will invent most of the things the next generation will use. Its kind of the way of the world kiddo. You know the thing called progress? It happens regardless of your personal opinion on how effective it is.
But since I'm such a nice guy, I thank your generation for the things they have given us. Make you feel better?
On the whole however, You seem to be adept at making useless points.

You seem to think that just because we disagree with you about any one particular point that we are everything you dislike.
I would say that you and the young man in your little parable have a lot in common.

And the average age of the Federal Congressman is?
My generation has another 20 years before we're in charge. We're the first generation in America's history to develop not while looking at a future of unlimited opportunity, but while getting a good look at our country's post-industrial climax and imminent populist/socialist top-down lapse into mediocrity. The options left to my generation will let us choose between an America that looks like today's France or an America that looks like today's Germany; the last 60 years' blind march into an unholy Chimerican alliance is possibly the most short-sighted generational zeitgeist in political history. Instead of expanding our country's sphere to include Mexico and Canada like you guys should have, you unwittingly expanded it to include China instead; now we are socially, economically and increasingly politically dependent on the world's largest (and only) Communism of note (good job winning the Cold War by the way...), and somehow you sucked the entire world into the maddeningly blind unsustainability as well.
Massive debt? Federal government bloated to the point of super-critical inefficiency? State governments subjagated to the point of irrelevance? A culture of apathy? College degrees based in four years of wasted money and life? An inherent entitlement to government-sponsored retirement 20 years before you die? Well done baby boomers, well done.
What have you invented? Widely-available silicon-based electronics? The Internet? Healthcare to keep you geezers alive for an average of an additional 10-years' sponsored retirement? The only astounding thing you've invented is the arrogance required to think that your (unavoidable) technological achievements somehow make-up for your complete social and political failings. Your generation hasn't even been to the moon; your parents went to the moon. America hasn't been able to look at the future with well-rooted optimism since JFK was shot; your generation didn't realize that until it was too late.

Are you telling us the Europeans come to the states looking for medical treatment?
Lawyers constantly being involved in the medical field is one more reason I would rather have the government more involved in health care. Your generation is very sue happy, and "malpractice" is a term used more often then it should in court. Doctors are humans. They try their hardest, have far more training then most other professions, and yet are still having to constantly watch their back.
When you made mistakes in the military, did you stand to lose everything you worked for every time you were given another task? People wonder why a 45 year old doctor looks like they already have one foot in the grave..... Stress kills
O well, this is like taking a whiz into the wind.... I'm back to the tech sections

Keep telling your self it's all Bush's fault and you can even blame it on us, why because we had our head up our asses thinking they were doing what was best of us, till we now see the truth, your screwed and we didn't stop it when we could have, because we were thinking like you are now.
But I pray for the best for all. were all going to need it, no mater who's the blame.
