There is a major difference between the regressive, less educated, and less tolerant older generations, and the forward thinking, well informed, and socially tolerant younger generations in the United States.
Older people are far less likely to support basic rights such as the right for a woman to choose, the rights of LGBTQ couples to marry, or the right of people of color to peacefully protest the systematic racism in this country. Voters under 40 often tend to be far less bigoted, and believe in freedom for all citizens, not just white males.
Older voters are far more likely to support policies which will cause extreme harm to the environment, this country, and the world as a whole. Meanwhile, more educated younger voters often choose to implement policies which value the world we live in over the making of a quick buck or two, such as a ban on fracking, a ban on nuclear power, and a focus on renewable energy.
Older voters are far more likely to support imperialistic wars in Mideastern countries which pose no threat to the USA, as well as support the genocidal murder of Palestinian children by the illegal state of Israel. Younger voters understand the importance of peace in this world, and are far less likely to provoke a meaningless war overseas or support enemies of justice such as Israel, Turkey or Colombia.
In fact, an argument can be made that not having a maximum voting age kills 32,000 a year. Older white men make up the majority of gun owners in this country, and even as the rest of the country seeks to end meaningless violence such as the massacres in Orlando or Dallas, old white men who treat guns as more precious than the lives of innocent children are allowed to vote, and by voting, they stall any common sense gun reform that can be made in the usa. These geriatric republicans think that people need guns 'to defend" themselves, not knowing that having a gun makes it 50 times more likely for you to be shot, and that the vast majority of gun violence is committed by people who bought their guns legally.
I personally believe that a maximum voting age limit of 65 should be immediately implemented. This country is on the right path, and the older, less intelligent white men who hold this country back are slowly but surely dying out. However, progress needs to be made faster if the USA does not wish to be embroiled in new foreign wars, be known for its rampant homophobia and systematic racism, and lose 80 people a day to gun violence within the next ten or twenty years.

Should there be a maximum voting age limit?
what a stupid rant and silly stereotypes. Its bannerrhoid movement nonsense. Most violent crime is caused by people under 30. Most illegitimate births are from mothers under the age of 25.
Yes. The older generations benefit from the wisdom that can only come with experience, while the young are more prone to flights of fancy, immanentizing the eschaton, narcissism, irresponsibility, and ignorance.
Your argument is basically that people who disagree with you shouldn't be allowed to vote. It seems the young are also more likely to support tyranny in order to achieve political power.
We do need a way to filter out the uniformed and the unintelligent from controlling the worlds' hyperpower and making decisions for the rest of us. Age, however, is a poor indicator beyond general adulthood (though if we wanted to, I could see benefits from raising the voting age a bit). Instead we should require voters to pass the US Citizenship Exam in order to get their (free) Voter ID. That way, those who have no idea what they are doing, don't get to do it.
The older generations "benefit" from the experience of growing up in a time of Jim Crow laws, homophobia, blatant misogyny, and extreme nationalism and a fear of anything declared "socialist" by Joe McCarthy.

This gets really silly when you consider your proposed voting age limit along side these stats...
Sanders - 74 years old
Trump - 70 years old
Clinton - 68 years old.
"illegitimate births" Ok dude, I haven't heard that phrase used since the 1800's.
So what if the mother and father aren't married?
And I don't believe the bull**** about violent crime being caused by people under 30.
The vast majority of the 32,000 yearly deaths by gun violence is committed by legal gun owners. Most gun owners happen to be old white men. Common sense suggests that the majority of gun violence is committed by older white males.
So, you're not for the age limit? :lamo"illegitimate births" Ok dude, I haven't heard that phrase used since the 1800's. So what if the mother and father aren't married? No human being is "illegitimate"

120 is good.....
Increased in 5 year increments every ten years.

So, basically, you want to artificially socially engineer society to your liking by barring what you see as less desirable demographics from voting.There is a major difference between the regressive, less educated, and less tolerant older generations, and the forward thinking, well informed, and socially tolerant younger generations in the United States.

you are lying
1) 2/3s of those deaths are suicides. That is not "gun violence" or "gun crime"
2) 80% of all illegal homicides perpetrated by an armed attacker involve CRIMINALS who cannot legally own guns. so you are lying again
3) black males commit over half the murders in the USA-so you are lying again
you start here on this board with a ton of fail. An Auspicious start for sure
In your welcome thread, you say you went to a nationally rated college. That's acceptably impressive - a good education is generally a good sign of intelligence.
Turtle, can you match the educational experience of someone who went to a nationally rated college?
Well, yeah, but...
1. You use words that are, like, really old, and
2. He, like, went to college, and stuff. He knows things.
