Though there is a difference in watching and believing it. Still yeah, I saw lots of people on reddit (when I still used it) who at every opportunity pointed out how biased RT was (which yes, it is, but if you know, you just take it with a grain of salt and be good) while praising CNN as a credible source of information. Hurts your brain.
This would very much go against my understanding of equal opportunity.
Your first point without any further consideration just erases 50% of the populace just on the basis that they have been born as women.
The age I can get behind as with it comes wisdom.
Must have children is kind of BS. A person no matter how stupid can have children, while others choose not to. Why would you exclude them from participating in democracy on that fact alone?
With that military service thing we are getting into Starshiptroopers territory. While I do see the merit in having a requirement for a person to having served the community in order to participate in it, making it dependend on military service alone will lead to cultivating an electorate of military minded people over time - not something I would be fond of. Actually the Terran Federation does offer civil alternatives to military service for aquiring citizenship (right to vote).
Postive tax contributor - no questions asked. If you are living on the backs of others, why should you be able to decide where the journey goes?
The 4th generation thing isn't necessary as long as the other requirements are met. A person who is pulling their own weight is what is needed, not their family tree.
In the end everybody should have the chance of meeting the requirements. If they fail, then that is the outcome. But barring a group of people from the get go will only lead to problems down the road.
What I cannot comprehend is that people rightfully think people should have to proof their capability to drive a car and pass a test for it, yet believe any idiot should have the right to vote - which IF democracy wasn't rigged would influence the life of everybody inside and even outside the country.
Everybody man or woman should first proof to have the mental capability to cast a vote before doing so. Unfortunately then again, who makes the test and what ulterior motive might that person have? It seems you can ever only choose between different evils.
Sounds just as bad as the Film Actors Guild from Team America.
You'd ask yourself, how does voting law affect their buisness at all? If it doesn't, what is their agenda that causes them to care about it? Sounds pretty sinister.
Same shit in germany.
One year since this bs started and they still say: "we have to lock down because overwhelmed intensive care system". A year passed and they could not manage to increase capacity? What a bullshit.
At the same time testing is at an all time high. No wonder the case numbers go up. If you test like crazy you find more cases (even if they feel not sick at all). Thing is before they just were not tested. There are not more cases just more known cases.
But well, most people are stupid enough to eat the fear mongering.
Bullshitting here, but entertain the thought: What if they were here, but were so disgusted by the insanity unfolding infront of their eyes that they turned around never to return, lest it might infect their own civilization. We are now living in the terran containment zone - no exit allowed.
You in a hundred years will happily vote democrat from six feet under is my prediction. Unless life expectancy makes quite the leap in the coming years.
