scottishkilty Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 A referendum won by yes campaign on 16 year olds with little knowledge of life in the real world. You will tear your country apart with all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It's not too long ago that Better Together were boasting that a huge majority of 16-18 year olds where voting No. It seems that the tide is turning and the Noborders crew are starting to have a wee panic. Pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 16 year olds are innocent enough to shape the world into a better place. Knowledge is corrupted by experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 There are people of all ages who will be a lot thicker than the 16 year olds who will vote today. The OP included I'm willing to wager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP included I'm willing to wager.The 16 years I have seen on the debates were certainly more intelligent and had clearly done their research. More than can be said for a lot of adults I have spoken to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. The OP doesn't want them voting but has no objection to these voters going off to a foreign war on behalf of the UK. Fucking idiot.

Fucking idiot. While you can join the forces at 16, under 18's are not deployed to war zones. The only reason the forces are happy to take under 18's is they are easier to train (mould) and they are scared they will pick another career before they turn 18 and then don't want to join up.

The forces are very narrow minded like that, you know the routine Addie, if you can't take the joke then you shouldn't have joined up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many 16/17yo's died in WW2. Edit: Obviously loads of people died, I mean 16/17yo UK soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Addie, Scotland may vote YES but it does not include you getting the land from Hadrians wall to the border for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
