I would be glad to if your to lazy to Do your own research. What would you like sources for? Nothing I said was a lie and I would be glad to open your mind to more than just cnn.
Where is your evidence of this? Trump has made some comments about Iran recently but nothing he has done is pushing us towards a war with anyone with the exception of Russia when we killed 2 of their people sending tomahawk missiles at an airbase in Syria in response to chemical warfare used from that base. Russia was not happy about that at all. Still that's not a world war. A world war involves almost every country in the world and Russia let it go.
We have a record number of illegals entering this country and the number is so high it warrants a national emergency. If you have a better solution than the wall let's hear it because I have not heard of any and here is a fact. Some of the democrats also pushed for a wall until Trump wanted one and then they changed their minds. Trump is not the first person to propose a wall.Cedur wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2019 12:34 pmTrump is a high-level narcissist as I already said some times and experts say as well. Delusion of grandeur, ignorance of decency, egomania taken to extremes, ludicrous propaganda with nothing behind it, hence also a pathetic manchild when actually challenged. I'd say Trump is mentally on the same level as his dictatorial enemies Putin, Xi Jinping and Erdogan. Difference is just that the US are still a working state of law with checks and balances. He nevertheless still caused a record-breaking shutdown and tried to undermine the constitution by declaring emergency for the sake of a FUCKING WALL. He's also working towards another kind of cold war, there's no denying of this. Google already gave in to him. And what did Iran actually do wrong? They want to keep up the nuclear deal, and so also want all european countries.
Anyway as a German I'm not influenced by any kind of organized media as you're making up (and neither is Electriking as he's british). I'm mildly left-wing from conviction. The rights are the poison for (and of) society. I also turned up mildly authoritarian in the political quiz, which is because I wish for authority that does good sustainable things. The youth in Germany and Europe is in uproar, Fridays for Future is going stronger, some Youtuber called Rezo made a flagrant video in which he scolded the inexcusable neglection of climate change by the political establishment, it gets millions of clicks, he got the establishment to react on it, and now basically the whole german Youtuber scene stands up for climate and appeals to the young generation to vote accordingly in the EU elections (needless to say, I definitely will). What would they even say about Trump??? The middle / conservative parties (CDU, SPD, FDP) may support climate protection verbally all they want, but their course of actions is literally going against it. The AfD however, generally being full idiots, even sassily denies all of climate change, and Trump is of the same calibre. So, if you support Trump, you support destruction of earth in a couple of decades, and with that attitude you're mentally closer to 60+ year olds than to your own children.
sorry for the super late answer. i'm 14 right now (turning 15 in september) and the elections happen every 4 years so in the next election i'll be 18 and able to vote. (also the voting age might be lowered to 16 here)
Should 16 year olds be allowed to vote? At that age they are not very mature with some exceptions and a lot of people feel that is to young.SE40 wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2019 6:24 pmsorry for the super late answer. i'm 14 right now (turning 15 in september) and the elections happen every 4 years so in the next election i'll be 18 and able to vote.

edit: i guess considering the nature of this thread i should also update what's going on in finland. the election happened, and now they're making a new government. i doubt a lot is going to change considering the top 3 most voted parties. there's also the europarliament election going on right now. tbh a lot of the advertisements are just "independent finland!" or "we wont make another brexit"
A lot of people also think 70+ is too old cause they're voting on a future they won't live in, yet that age group has a larger impact on elections than 16 year olds ever could.Teemster2 wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2019 2:59 pmShould 16 year olds be allowed to vote?

There are some people who are mature enough at the age of 16 and some who aren't mature at all at the age of 40.Teemster2 wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2019 2:59 pmShould 16 year olds be allowed to vote?

Ha! You think that is bad? At one point, Nintendo stopped selling products to my country because of protectionist tariffs.FireyPaperMario wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 4:03 pmFreaking dictator Trump decided to piss off gamers by making game consoles and games* 25% more expensive in the US.

Did Trump actually do that to annoy gamers? If so, why? Like, why increase gaming prices of all things?FireyPaperMario wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 4:03 pmFreaking dictator Trump decided to piss off gamers by making game consoles and games* 25% more expensive in the US.

I have watched a lot of videos where today's younger generation seems clueless on many political issues as if they only see what the news on tv tells them. There is usually more to the story and some research online can say a lot.Cedur wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2019 2:30 amMegaDood wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2019 12:05 amDid Trump actually do that to annoy gamers?

dude don't ask this naively ... it's part of China trade war obvsly
Allowing 16 year olds to vote is another way to rig the elections because a lot of younger people seem to be left leaning liberals and yet they seem so clueless on actually political issues. The democrats think giving voting rights to 16 year olds will play in their favor and it is believed by many that most teachers are liberal and teach liberal views so it's easy to understand why the democrats want voting rights for teenagers.ShadowStarX wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 3:28 pmIn my country, the governing far-right party received 52% of the vote for the EP elections but said party will most likely have to be excluded from the next probable coalition in the EP and a young liberal party gained 2 seats out of the blue.
So in spite of Fidesz, the Hungarian governing reactionary party, having won almost 2/3 of EP seats in Hungary, the young liberals might soon contribute to draining the national establishment, possibly causing the fall of Fidesz in the next decade, hopefully in 2022.

I personally support the idea of making 16 the requirement and I wouldn't even mind making 70+ unable to vote, albeit I'm not inherently supporting that.

Excuse me but if I remember correctly, Trump was the one who said that video games should be banned because they make people violentTeemster2 wrote: Trump did not go out of his way to hurt gamers. That is ridiculous.
First off, liberalism isn't a left-wing ideology and I personally hate the DNC and the "centrists" in the USA and I personally consider Bernie Sanders way too moderate, though if I was American I'd vote for him.Teemster2 wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2019 1:29 pmAllowing 16 year olds to vote is another way to rig the elections because a lot of younger people seem to be left leaning liberals and yet they seem so clueless on actually political issues.

The democrats also want illegals and criminals to have voting rights. So where do we draw the line on who can and can't vote?
Several democrats have said the Boston Marathon bomber should have voting rights if he is ever released from prison and he murdered people.
Let's not forget in America the electoral college gives every state a voice and they want to get rid of that too. I'm sorry but Los Angeles and New York City don't get to speak for America.
