This is almost like Mafia games. Everything gets twisted by an unknown group of troublemakers.

To vote you have to have died in a war. Otherwise, no vote for you.
Sensible.
I didn't say that.

And here we see Jamie supporting a policy of giving Hitler the vote...

(for fans of long term Jamie-Oct discussions, and admittedly this is a club that has only one member, what we have here is a truth told in the general direction of a lie)

Read Starship Troopers by Heinlein. You all probably did already.

Which disenfranchised pacifists, Quakers, and those physically unfit for military service.

It would better to require a civics exam which would disenfranchise in the US the Trumps and most of his supporters

You're correct Octavious, it's absurdist comedy from Fluminator. Perhaps like The Tourist's first innings at the Gabba?

Nonetheless I find it gender insensitive.

Trolling? In what sense is it trolling? It's just gentle humour, no different to some absurdist fun at a debating society.

Honestly I'd thought trolling was against the site rules. Rule enforcement in this game is uneven, however.

Shouldn't this be in the "Politics" subforum?
If you think that it's a serious post, certainly. Do you?
Almost nothing Fluminator posts is serious.

I was talking about America MajorMitchell. When I say "the world" I obviously mean America because the world is kind of irrelevant beyond the borders of the greatest nation on the earth.

"We tried giving suffrage to all, and look at where the world is now"

I wasn't aware that the entire adult population of the world had ALL been voting in relatively corruption free elections, this is encouraging news regarding those enfranchised(?) citizens of numerous totalitarian or corruptly dysfunctional nations, they have the Oppressors for whom they voted.

The breathtaking leap of causality, the current state of our world is entirely the result of democracies in action, no other influences, causes exist that have shaped our societies, nations and world. Zuckerberg won't like hearing that, or the Media Magnates, poor Rupert Murdoch, decades of wielding power for zero effect?

That causality link from Fluminator, from wildly inaccurate claim about universal suffrage existing to our current global circumstances, that intellectual concoction from Fluminator is outstanding on the imaginative input yet perhaps a deficiency in logic reveals Fluminator's purpose, it's a prankish fishing exercise.
Such a surprise? Not seen before from Fluminator?
