Scared enough? These entitled kids will laugh at it, and they’re mega Rick parents will pay anything needed and make it go away

These aren’t normal kids.

Fucking ghouls. Everyone and everything that is in that guys orbit or who voted for him are embarrassments to the human race

Yeah. My totally non expert and totally hypothetical take is they may have been shot, then veered off the street onto the crowd.

Hey. With this level of incompetence he could walk free.

The Economic Espionage Act (EEA) of 1996 makes it a federal crime to steal trade secrets, with penalties including up to 10 years in prison and substantial fines

I was thinking more this:

Intent. One was an accident, the other is potentially criminal if I’m not wrong. I could be.

The brain development at that age does allow for far more nuanced decision making, but I agree. The brain developed and decays constantly and differing rates, from my limited understanding , but I do believe that PEAK decision making capabilities don’t occur until an average age that probably is between 25 and 35. But again that’s not basing it solely on ,“brain development”. I should have been more precise.

And, water under the bridge

No you rude shit. I believe in the science involved in brain formation, maturity and it’s response to nature and nurture

You?

Every single jackal that voted for this should be primaried into oblivion

You laugh but I said the same thing to him. Told him I’d kick his butt if he didn’t vote next year. We need guys who actually inquire and argue with those in Authority. Even when that authority is his dad lol.

Hey sometimes I’m wrong and he’s right. It happens

I’m assuming by the fact that your rebuttal is still incorrect that you are being impulsive as well.

Where did I say that impulsivity was solely the domain of the young? When did I say it becomes a non factor? When did brexit become the litmus test for impusivity? Shouldn’t that honor go to Trump’s election?

All I said. ALL I am saying. Is that impulse control isn’t finished developing until our twenties, and yes that means that Teena agers are more impulsive.

That’s not a controversial stance. It’s facts.

So your attempt at a rebuttal isn’t even discussing the point. Which isn’t that impulsivity ever goes away, but that our development in that area isn’t “finished” in our brain during that time.

Other factors affect impulsivity, from education to personal experiences so it’s never really " done" developing in many ways. And a younger person who has gone through some serious shit will usually be way less impulsive than a sheltered older person.

But I digress. The point is, you’re incorrect…

Yeah, I’m not saying I have all the answers or that I’m not missing something, but the way it stands it’s a bad idea. It needs thought, a process developed and guardrails in place.

I will say this. As well. I have a 17 year old extremely intelligent son. He works. He ain’t ready to vote. He’ll be the first to say it as well.

Those are good questions

I do think that our voting public needs more education and we needed to have age appropriate, and yes , at times medical consitions may have to be looked at.

I feel that the last part I can speak to a bit( I am not a doctor or anything) as I grew up with a mother who was left with extreme tbi after an accident but could still function in society.

But she didn’t vote. She didn’t have any grasp of what was happening politically. She was never told not to, but I think somehow she knew.

Honestly there are ways to disseminate the voting information enough that those who can grasp the vote should.

I have no easy answers though. It’s not an easy question

Yep. To all of what you said.

Still. It’s a bad idea. I think we all know it if we really think about

No. They made no point. What they did was blame the poor showing in that vote on older people. That isn’t what I said at all.

Said nothing about brexit, nor does the reply to me address anything I posted.

So no. You and they have missed the point.
