And lets beat those uppity kids when they speak out of turn as well.

I say we lock 'em all up till their 40, that way, they can have no effect what so ever on our daily lives. Them kids, how dare they open their mouths and try to learn something.

What, did a college kid take a leak in your cheerios or something.

Ageism issues much? Scary, scary ideas.

I was quite surprised to see another response to my post, especially since this thread was last active 5-6 weeks ago.

By your reply, I infer that you feel that the average MTV viewer, whom the article above discusses, has a firm grasp of issues and current events. I'm sorry, no matter how hard I try, I can not agree with that.

Also, from my understanding of your reply, unknowledgable voters are of no concern, so we should encourage someone, who has no idea what a widget is, that they should vote in favor of widgets because a cable music channel is pro-widget.

If you took ageism, which personally I find humorous because I'm not that far out of the MTV demographic, as the point of my post, you were looking to rebutt a point that was not there. Age is not my concern, ignorance is. I'll reiterate my point from my previous post: "To put it bluntly, I do not feel comfortable encouraging people to vote who have no grasp of the issues outside of that they know their candidate wears boxers."
