@Fe4r_incarnate I got a better idea than land owners. Humor me and wait one
I think something that has been used against us, that we have been blind to, is voting. I think there is a huge misconception that Voting is relevant to freedom. It really isn't. It is quite the opposite. Any time you vote, you are voting for or against a restriction of freedom. You may not even have a dog in the ring, but you are allowed to vote. For example, recently here in Montana, We held a vote on whether or not to raise the taxes on cigarettes. Non smokers voted too. Restricting the right to vote to land owners, and limiting the calls for votes, both decreases potential overreach, mob rule, and odds are, if someone owns land, they are more intelligent and better understand the weight of taxes and laws in a community.
I firmly believe in service guarantees citizenship. And while most people associate that with the military, thats not my only option. So In my perfect system, in order to gain voting rights you'd need to be involved in some sort of activity that has a tangible benifit on your community. Most if not all will be volunteer professions, This can be firefighter, emt, owning a small busisness, forrest service, ect. The idea is if you work hard for the community, you'd want the best for something you helped create
The idea that someone with an IQ of 140 and someone with room temperature IQ should have the same control over one anothers life is laughable. The world is full of Shepherds and sheep. Expecting a sheep to lead shepherds is like expecting a shepherd to follow sheep. It makes no fucking sense and they aren't equals.
I didn't mean to laugh reacc
Its cool. And I forgot to add the minumum time to be in these activities is 2 years. It shows commitment and discipline
I have a few more ideas in how a perfect government should be set up. I've said them a few times, but I'm not up to rehashing them tonight for the most part
I ain't worried about it king
We all be full of ideas and... well... we all know best
But if any of yous is in the Montana area, we should make a Compound.
I got friends in missoula, so I might be up that way at somepoint king
voting age should be 33, you must have children.
@/K/aptainBlastin why 33 or children
I still don't vibe on Democracy - but I could agree to something along those lines
15 years as an adult?
invested in the future and thereby, your fellow men?
@INNYGMATYK that doesnt mean shit. Once an adult you're an adult. Merit should be based on service or property
@mcguyver123 apparently the brain is still developing til 25 ; and 15 years gives a breadth of time for you to get your "" childhood out ""
and find a family
33 because maturity. you just dont have the proper perspective untill you get 3 or more decades past. children because having children is the most likely thing to make someone care about things beyond themselves and about the future. you have stake in the real future once you have children.
we have 33 vertebrate
thats why jesus was 33
and the highest degree in freemasonry is 33
And, dont forget the important part. There were 33 millions jews killed in 9/11 and the holocaust
My birthday is 03/03/03
nice
when you turn 33 you will be an arch angel or some shit
be prepared
I cant tell if autism or trolling
33 voting age and children dead serious
So why not increase owning a firearm to 33
if you're a big TOOL fan, you probably know ' The Grudge ' is about some astrological Saturn shit that happens when you're 32
because you need more wisdom to guide society***
33 being after that, sort of lines up
a gun will allow you to significantly effect the lives of you and a few others, the effects of guiding law are innumerable
Merit by service and property make more sense. I know 30 year olds that arent mature by whatever standard you measure that by. Having kids doesn't mean you love or loveless
there are exceptions to my rule but in large you will see that they apply
no - but it [ parenthood ]*does* encourage a necessary sort of forward thinking attitude
in general you are mature by 33 and having kids makes you more responsible
