I do think there should be a maximum voting age like there is a minimum voting age, I'd say retirement age you should stop voting too so about 65. You have had your turn and no longer have a long term vision, generally contributing less to the economy etc

And we have compulsory voting anyway so it would have to be you are not included or we could make it voluntary after 65.

One thing I've learned in life at my vast age of 59, is that mindsets change as you get older, along with perspectives and outlooks.   We think at any given age that we know it all, that we can't learn anymore, and that we've reached the nadir of our wisdom.  Truth is...   We never stop learning and we do get wiser, and most older people in our society have much to offer and have lived through and learned a hell of a lot more than someone of your age.  That's not an insult, and it's not meant to be personal, it's just a fact.    I'm not the same person I was at 33.

Hmmm...who wants to kill babies for mother Britain?  I'm afraid your countrymen have grown up.  Too bad for you.

National service is just a preparation....no one gets killed....it's not on a par with your Vietnam war.

In preparation for what?  Perhaps delivering warm puppies to all the innocent children of the world?

I would be willing to bet that in the first week they are given a kill weapon of some sort...and trained to use it.

Preparation for what may happen (God willing it wont) in the future.

We have recently seen in other countries young men leaving by their thousands instead of staying to defend themselves, their families and their country.....In recent history the only time Brits have left in their thousands is to fight for others.
Nothing wrong in being prepared.

You sound as if you would oppose anymore foreign adventures.  So...in preparation for what?  Do you expect an organized military invasion on British soil?

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

I love foreign adventures.

Does your country not train young people to fight Quill? Don't you have a military for eg??

thats the point
You grow old and slow i can already see myself slower to adapt to change (i acknowledge that 30 years I'll be too slow, like victor and nicko)

SOCIETY needs to change faster therefore it is only logical that this wisdom is actually a curse, cause it is not wisdom but the brain cells decaying and becoming too lazy to learn new things and to treat new situation as new
thus the increased releance on sterotypes etc.

that is just REAL science, not Old peoples 'feelings'.  

I have not finished learning I work in bleeding edge tech, the day I stop is the day I retire.
