My point was that you shouldn't discourage people to vote for any reason, especially when you're not of voting age. Why? Unless you've had some sort of rigourous Jesuit-like education involving major critical thinking and logic skills, you simply haven't had time to develop them on your own at your age. You end up with fascile statements like "McCain is on cocaine. Obama's an Obamination." Bad puns do not political discourse make, my friend.

There is too much voter apathy like it is. You say the youth are passioniate and that is simply not true. Take a look at youth turnout numbers, they've been running in the 20 - mid 20%s for a long time now. That means that 20% of registered youth voters are getting out there. It's rather laughable.
Simple joking around, and yet, you still attempt to pick at the bones of others. You act so far above everyone, but you really aren't much but all talk. The youths [later teens] are passionate about this proposition, and you can't say otherwise without showing incredible ignorance, dearest fossil.
