should there be an age requirement for prez of U.S.?

[Dis]

Seems silly to me now days. Age discrimination . Most likely voters will not feel anyone below the age of 35 is qualified, but why not let the voters decide this?

[b etor]

yes.

I say raise it to 40. I don't trust anyone under 35, and I'm not sure about a lot of them over 35.

why would older people be more trustworthy?

They know more about people, the way the world works, etc..

Let the voters choose. (I also feel the same way about naturalized citizens.)

which means they know more about manipulating people, had more times to acquire more loyalties to special interest groups...

You want a president to be manipulative, and the special interests are going to get to everyone anyway. It doesn't take long. The only way to stop the influence of the special interest groups is to wipe them out.

You start out insane and become sane, and what good is the ability to remember if you don't have any experience to remember?

Apparently you do the same thing with sense?

WTF?!

I didn't vote for the US can burn in hell.

[Dis]

nuke special interest groups. I like that idea.

Speaking of, election campaigns should be publically funded (I have no idea why they aren't), no campaign contributions whatsoever.

All people who didn't make it to prez at least twice before turning 40 are losers!

So I was a loser at 32? I think not. I was a loser before you were born son.
