BS question. They do what they are told to do by someone with experience - just like any kid who hopefully has parental guidance. I guess the logical extension of your nonsense is that any kid growing up should never have chores or duties or be expected to attend school because that forces him/her (without a voice or recourse) to accept the control of someone else. War and voting was the great liberal argument used to tap into a wealth misguided idealism.
Question: if the point were valid, then why did the lowered voting age extend to females who were largely not a part of the "crisis" and why did it extend to anyone who wasn't "forced to go off to war"?
Raising a kid(s) alone, is certainly not ideal. but does she have them outside playing, or does she let them lose themselves in the TV and video games so she can get some peace and quiet?
not judging here, because I can't imagine raising a kid by myself, just saying there is more to it.
He's in the dark - literally and figuratively. It's a shame to glorify kids who play on the computer with the term "engineer" when they have no real aptitude for the broader world. When you look back at many failures, too many times you find people who were unable to reconcile what instruments and computer displays told them with the mechanical events that were happening.
You see people capable of building an electric car without the common sense to ask some of the other basic questions. What happens when the power grid goes down - first clue: walk in most stores and try to buy something during a power failure.
Your logical extension of my logic is illogical.
Is it your stance that 18 year olds should be draftable, allowed (forced) to fight and die in war, legally allowed to marry and have kids BUT NOT be allowed to vote?
