Lowering The Voting Age

You'd trust me with a car, but would you trust me with a ballot?

The National Youth Rights Association came up with a list of Top Ten Reasons To Lower The Voting Age. After reading this I have my own opinions about these points. Let's take this one at a time as I put in my 2 cents.

Reason #1: Youth suffer under a double standard of having adult responsibilities but not rights.
To be fair, some minors do not have have the same responsibilities as adults because of their parents. But in most cases yes, this is true. It's like he have to have all of the work adults do with no reward.

Reason #2: Youth pay taxes, live under our laws, they should have the vote.
Any tax-paying citizen should vote.

Reason #3: Politicians will represent their interests if youth can vote.
What interests do we have right now? Half-price sales at Hot Topic?

Reason #4: Youth have a unique perspective, they'll never have those experiences again.
No one will never have the same experience more than once. By unique perspective, I mean

Reason #5: 16 is a better age to introduce voting than 18; 16 year olds are stationary.
Probably half of 18 year olds are actually in college and not high school, so for the most part they are stationary, but I know quite well that during the transition from high school into life is hectic and usually involves a lot of moving and packing, which would make no room for going out and voting. Although, 16 year olds voting just because their stationary doesn't mean anything

Reason #6: Lowering the Voting Age will increase voter turnout.

Reason #7: If we let stupid adults vote, why not let smart youth vote?
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

Reason #8: Youth will vote well.
Maybe.

Reason #9: There are no wrong votes.
ha

Reason #10: Lowering the voting age will provide an intrinsic benefit to the lives of youth.
