Comment on UK voting age to be lowered to 16 by next general election in ~society

If they’re too young, they’ll be incapable (due to being unable to comprehend grabbing a pen and, is it colouring a lozenge?) and if they’re a bit older, they’ll probably just vote for what their parents tell them to. I can see why someone, maybe most people, would object to that. but everyone?

What they aren’t allowed to do is buy alcohol (there are other restrictions etc. but not too relevant).

A decrease of agricultural jobs in America could be due to many other factors apart from automation (eg. importing foods, increased yields per crop, etc.). However, I do think you’re probably right

It’s the constant access via smartphones that leads to serious problems. I mean how many teens do you see accessing TikTok from laptops/PCs? Surely banning young people from having phones is a much more realistic strategy for a government (and potentially more affective)

That’s to say they were put onto medication from a young age as their condition was very severe and therefore noticed earlier on as opposed to them being messed up by the medication?

I believe modern windows now has a pop-up which asks how you’d like the program to be dealt with
The poll that you linked to specifically asks the question
Whereas, the online safety act applies much more broadly than just for “pornographic material” from here
The full act includes restrictions on much more than just porn, such as “bullying” which is such a vague term that I feel could be generalised to pretty much apply to any site.
The article you linked even mentioned as part of its argument that the change in wording from “pornography sites” to the more general “pornographic material” may have lowered the percentage of people who said they support the act. So what’s to say that if you generalised the wording even more to a representative wording that the majority would disagree with the act.
