h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello,
In my opinion young people are often discriminated in the modern civilized world, they are seen more as the 'children of today' than the 'rulers of tommorow'. Now dont get me wrong there are some people my age who dont know or care about national / international politics well sufficed to say I do. What do you think should young people be allowed a say in anything after all they are the rulers of the future.

Hi researcher, you have put this up 3 times, please don't put it up for a fourth!

yer sorry im new

No worries, thats why we point things out!!

How are you anyway?

I do agree with your views on ageism, by the way!

Im fine.

Thanks I feel very stongly about these points. Though i happen to know nothing i can do to stop them. Any ideas?

If there is a particular political party you are interested in then you can join the youth wing. Or groups like Greenpeace welcome all ages. I read at the weekend of a country which is thinking of introducing woting at birth, so that parents have a responsibility to educate their kids in politics and help them to make a choice.

Its a start!

A jolly good one too. Thanks for the advice. My opinion on voting under age is rather radical in the fact that if we are not voting for the laws why are we forced to obey them. If the English voting community decides to elect a government intent on abolishing certain human rights benificial to children is it just to let this pass without a child having a say in this.

P.S. which country was this?

I wish I could remember which country! I am thinking Australia or Germany, but I'm guessing!

If you look on the net or go to a local youth club you can find out about you local "youth parliament".

Thanks i will.
