From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Age of reason | Message | 14 year olds lack the high school and college education of most adults. Thus, while they can reason they are less experienced with life and rather uneducated. |

From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Age of reason | Message | What's the difference between 16/17? Yes, it's an arbitrary line, but is has to be drawn somewhere. |

From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Age of reason | Message | There is a difference, MP. The line is in education. There is mandatory education up to 16. Those 16 are juniors in high school and thus have enough knowledge from school to make some good decisions. |

From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Age of reason | Message | Also, the ICP loves the ironic name "Age of Reason." The Age of Reason was another name for the Enlightenment - a period of time in which the Church influence ended and athiesm and secularism spread. :P |

From | Hammerian Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Age of reason | Message | Are you seriously considering letting eighth graders vote and make choices independant of their parents? Christ, they're still making fart jokes at that age. |
