I would like to subscribe to hemp facts.

Good for them; hope it works.

There is not a single argument against lowering the voting age that holds water.

Try it for yourself: think of any argument against it. “But what if they…” fill in the blank. And then realize old people already do that and we don’t require them not to.

“They don’t understand the issues!” MF’er, do you? “The Issues” is such a vague, broad, and nebulous term that you could use this to argue that anybody who can’t reproduce your exact opinions on demand “doesn’t understand the issues.” And here’s the thing: you’re not required to. Old people can vote literally by throwing darts at a board and not be disenfranchised for it.

“They’ll just vote for a celebrity.” Young people didn’t have the vote when Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse “the Body” Ventura, or Donald fucking Trump got elected to office. Hell, old people elected former actor Ronald Reagan and 40-odd years later we still haven’t recovered from the damage he did to the country and probably never will.

“They’ll vote for whoever is good-looking.” Disregarding that literally nobody on earth is that shallow, young people didn’t have the vote when Kennedy got elected.

“They’ll vote for whoever their parents do.” One would hope so; that’s called “instilling values” and it’s something most families strive for.

“They’ll vote against whoever their parents do!” Disregarding that this is a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” logical-fallacy-circlejerk… one would hope so; that’s called “establishing your own identity” and it’s something most people should strive for.

And on and on. Every argument against lowering or even abolishing the voting age is like this. Either its a non-issue being made to sound like a catastrophe, or its something that old people already do and we don’t take away their rights for it.

This should be grounds for immediate revocation of his license.

People have already beaten me to Firefly over and over again so I’ll add one likely to have been forgotten:

Carnivale.

Ended on an unbelievable cliffhanger, left SO MUCH unanswered, could’ve run for another decade. I’m re-mad that this show got canceled now.

A Chihuahua is not a legitimate dog, it’s a rat with delusions of grandeur.

Whatever, would still headpat.

This is always the one I go to to really freak people out. The idea that there’s no way you can influence it so you shouldn’t actually worry about it takes a while to set it.

I mean, I’m kind of okay with that? We all die eventually; I would rather mine be going from “alive” to “not” all at once, without the “prolonged illness and/or other suffering” phase in the middle.

I have legit dropped a couple of communities just to make the relentless spam stop.

It takes a special kind of deliberately stupid to vote Republican in this day and age.
