Thread Name: BS: Should 16 year olds get the vote
Subject: RE: BS: Should 16 year olds get the vote
There is a 16-yr-old boy living in this house. On good days, I acknowledge him as my stepson. He thinks he knows everything, except how to do chores.
Does thinking you know everything qualify you to vote?

Right now, we're negotiating to receive physical labor and a modicum of responsibility, in exchange for occasional use of the car. Negotiations are not going well. We're losing.

Despite all that, I kinda like the kid - but I can hardly wait until he grows into a civilized adult, like my kids are....
