Why was it illogical? I didn't actually say anyone should be disqualified from voting, that was Castro.

Your parallel example didn't logically add to your argument, it was just two separate issues side by side.

Google exception to the rule and work that principle into your post. You use something to prove something, it should actually prove it.

Okay, fair enough.

Would you agree that Castro's point that people who believe in conspiracy theories should be disqualified from voting as illogical? Even if the conspiracy theories are bullshit, it isn't cause to disqualify them from voting. People are motivated by a lot of bullshit when they vote, my previous example being a hatred of immigrants. The argument that people who believe wild conspiracy theories are dangerous could be applied to people who hate immigrants and want them deported. After the referendum, a Polish man was murdered by racists.

I'm not agreeing anything.

I can't be arsed to read any post more than four lines long on this thread as my life is too short.

Castro was the one who said he was 'frightened' that people who believe conspiracy theories can vote. My analogy was that if old people can vote on the future of younger generations, even if they won't witness or suffer the consequences, then people who believe in bizarre conspiracy theories can vote.

A significant minority of people in this country hate immigrants, for no logical reason. They can still vote and their voting habits are definitely more dangerous than those people who believe the CIA might have had something to do with the attacks on the WTC.

I don't believe old people should be disenfranchised from voting.

I didn't say I was frightened that they could vote. You don't seem to get the subtle nuances of the English language. Maybe you could borrow one of the translating machines that visitors to the planet have used whilst they communicated with the natives telling them to construct the nazca lines, build the pyramids and a host of others before handing on the secrets of technology we are now using to world leaders.

More old folk vote than young ones. It is suuuuchhhh a drag having to leave the comfort of your armchair whilst on social media to get to a polling station which could be a whole few minutes walk away.

Millennials aren't perfect. They tend to be whiny and entitled. Not as whiny and entitled as baby boomers though.

How about banning 15m people who watch other people baking cakes and while we're at it ban those ****ing idiots who've been following a court case in the Archers and get emotionally involved in it as if it's real. Also ban the ****ers on the BBC that think it's ****ing newsworthy. ****.
