If a five year old wants to vote, I dont see why not. They aren't going to though, so there is no problems.

As for the Golden rul question, Im not sure how a rapist would feel about being raped- especially by the woman he is raping.  My feeling is some wouldnt mind.

Because the number of five year olds who actually want to vote is much much lower than the number who will simply however their parents tell them.

Not to mention they'd be almost completely unable to understand the issues. Try explaining the budget to a five year old.

Letting five year olds vote is a bad idea - I don't let bad ideas stand without being refuted by sound reason, otherwise more people are likely to listen to them. You're honestly too smart to think that five year olds should be allowed to vote.

5.) The government's main responsibility should be to keep order. Agree

6.) Music and the arts are essential for a community to flourish and should be funded by the government. Agree -sort of, though not to the first part of your sentence.  Government should provide some measure of support to public school districts around the country that offer programs in the arts.

8.) Improvement of the human race through eugenics should be a goal of the government. Strongly disagree

I honestly don't see the problem. Five year olds will not vote, anyways. There will of course be laws (if they dont already exist) against parents forcing their children to vote they way they want to. There will be so few five year olds voting that it would not effect the results. In fact, nothing bad could come of it, you're just worried about nothing. Think outside the box.  Of course if this were to happen, and there were problems with it (that could not be fixed  by strict laws) then I will say the voting age should still be very low.

I'm not so sure about that.  The people at the polling stations can enforce and heavily fine any offenders.

When I was 5, I didn't know what the word "politics" really meant; when I was 10, I just supported whoever my parents were rooting for during the TV coverage.  The voting age should be, at minimum, 14, but 16 is better.

All the more reason to support this, as 5 year olds wont vote anyways. And, people vote for who their family votes for all the time, no matter what your age is. That's a terrible argument!

Any forcing they do in the vicinity of the polling area would be restricted of course. It may make more sense to have a voting age, but I don't believe it is what democracy is about.
