General Election UK, June 8th...

No, I reckon all old fogeys shouldn't be able to vote. The world belongs to the youth, not them. Let the youth decide its future.

No it fucking doesn't, it belongs to all humans, old and young.

If you want to take my vote, you'll have to prise it from my cold dead hands!

Come to think of it, my vote will vanish anyway when I shuffle off this mortal coil...

(which does not necessarily apply in some US voting districts, I gather; cemeteries are valid voting addresses for republicans in certain electorates...)

That's no joke. The cemeteries in Chicago are why John F Kennedy beat Nixon.

Indeed, let those who aren't financially supporting an organization determine its plan and actions. That's a sensible course of action when dealing with any large group.

The world isn't an "organisation". It's life.

How do you figure it's not sensible in letting those who aren't financially contributing to society (includes more than just some teenagers) contribute to the determination of its plans and actions?

The government is an organization, and that's what people vote for. Life is not up for a vote, at least not yet, until certain people get their way.

People without a dog in the hunt think differently about the hunt than those with dogs in the hunt. It's also known as not having a "skin in the game."

You think people who don't pay into society don't have a dog in the hunt of how the world progresses?

Government is just a mechanism for managing society and the world. Everyone has skin in the game of life and surviving. However, young people have far more to lose than old people if shit goes wrong.

Britain lost the American colonies because of no taxation without representation.

Well then, imagine if we implemented a system of no representation without taxation. The left would never win an election ever again.

It could be a good idea. Then the likes of Trump and other 1% wouldn't have a say either..

Tory MP drops out of election after telling pupils 'homosexuality is wrong'

A long-serving Conservative MP has said he will not stand in the general election, just hours after A-level students revealed he had told them that he believed “homosexuality is wrong” and “dangerous to society”.

Andrew Turner, who has represented the Isle of Wight since 2001, made the comments during a question and answer session at Christ the King College in Newport. One student describing herself as a “passionate campaigner for LGBT rights” asked her local MP if he was involved in the Isle of Wight’s first ever Pride event.

In a post on Facebook, Esther Poucher said she was shocked to the point of outrage by Turner’s response. “He told us that he’d been invited, but wasn’t intending to go. This is because (and this is a direct quote) he thinks that homosexuality is ‘wrong’ and “dangerous to society’,” she wrote.

“At this answer, I had to leave. It’s terrifying that in this age and point in our development as a society, there are still people that can’t care enough about a person’s wellbeing to just accept who they are. And the most terrifying thing is that we as an island consistently vote him in to represent us.”

One down...

Well, they are definitely doing it wrong.
But, if you like doing it wrong, is it wrong to do it? So long as nobody is wronged in the process. I think you have a right to do it wrong, right or wrong, and he was wrong to write that it's wrong.
Am I right?

Well, clearly practicing homosexuals haven't got it quite right yet...

How are we Anglos not the master race, all you colonies and rebels ( I'm looking at you USA.) We are just awesome despite the lefty/liberals trying to bring us down (self loathing gimps.) Asians might have a higher IQ but what have they invented except paper and gunpowder which they didn't utilize (creativity FTW.) Same with black and brown people creativity off the scales yet what did they invent, well nothing. It is no surprise the English master race elect conservative governments whilst the rest of the world being retarded fickwits still think 'this time it will work', 'It wasn't true communism.'

The Tories will win end, of. The labour party selling out the working class (the labour party was set up to represent), Yeah I can imagine the coal miners, dockers. steel workers. labourers and retail workers totally being on board with middle class feminist and right on self loathing liberal twats.

What I don't get is how you retarded lefty/liberals still exist. You have no rational position, no scientific evidence supports you. Without name calling, shaming tactics and buzzwords plus censorship what have you got as a political position other than smugness? Lefty/liberals are a bane on humanity and I look forward to the day of the rope and your free one way helicopter riders. You traitors are fucking scum, fuck you.

[Brian Peacock]

Pretty sure you called the Tories Cuckservatives last week, chiding them for not being truly, properly conservative. Your Truthfeed has clearly changed It's mind again, and yours along with it - they'll be telling you that we've always been at war with Oceania next...

How out of touch are you with the general population. Don't worry it is a rhetorical question and you are so far gone up the cultural Marxist elitist,globalist, Corporationalist. Open borders really help high wagers. lol. The welfare state being stretch to the limit then collapsing. It is so pathetic that you lefty/liberals claim to be against capitalism and the banksters whilst doing their bidding, it is beyond stupid. Christ even I as a full on Tory capitalist wouldn't agree to the selling out of the workers that you middle class wankers love so much. KYS.
