yes, why not restrict the vote to landowners the way it was in the 18th century.

The young have always stereotyped the older generation and visa versa - the young are oft accused of struggling to string a sentence together without patois and garbled speech and the older generation do it too.
It's not right but it's human behaviour.
There are indeed some youngsters who I would trust with the vote but for now I feel it's OK where it is.

umm
what i meant to say was not so much interested in the news, more obsessed with their phones, tablets, as in twitter, facebook, one nephew is only 9 but spends time on the computer youtubing, he is good at what he does but i worry he's too young, but my brother thinks its ok, so who am i to argue.
the other nephew loves football and any chance he gets he plays, but is also obsessed with video games..

Careful now - the young could equally turn around, look at our generation and say:
"Surely you lot were the laziest, most entitled generation the country has ever seen? Looking at the 1970s, it seemed that all you ever did was go on strike, and run the country into the ground whilst smoking Capstan Full Strength, watching the wrestling on 'World of Sport'."

I don't think it's such a bad thing. It fills up dead time. If people have their noses in their phones on the bus, or tube, they're only staving off boredom.
And previous generations were the same - the amount of media consumed has remained the same - it's just that young people consume media on different hardware. Older people switch on the telly, whereas younger people switch on their tablets or phones.
