through an anonymous voice. There are a few restrictions on voting‚ which include age‚ citizenship‚ and in some states weather you’re a convicted felon. I believe that it is unfair that some states make it so felons can’t vote. I really believe felons should be allowed to vote simply because everyone makes mistakes‚ and some felons have to rejoin society eventually. Felons are looked at by some as the bad people of society. Some people even believe that once they have messed up they don’t deserve

Should young women vote for our next president based on their gender? Although many women wish to see the glass ceiling broken‚ I don’t believe it’s right to vote based on gender. People should choose a candidate that have a similar stand on issues as their own. I was surprised to read that Gloria Steinem said the only reason young women are voting for Bernie Sanders is because of the boys‚ young women are voting on the issue not for the attention boys will give them. I can assume most young women

In my opinion‚ I think capital punishment is immoral and Canada should not reinstate the death penalty. The death penalty is unethical and doesn’t speak for the morals Canadians hold so close to their hearts‚ and the decision to reinstate it would create a huge negative impact on foreign relations around the world. Canada is a strong advocate toward fighting injustice and for human rights‚ and if we decided to reinstate it‚ countries would highly condemn that decision and would leave Canada out of

Most people around me believe that the voting age should also be lowered‚ and each of them care more about politics than most of the adults we know. If teenagers were able to vote‚ then there wouldn’t be a controversial topic on making not voting illegal. Yes‚ there is talk about making voting a law‚ and those who don’t shall be punished.

The second reason why we should not allow guns on college campuses would be because some student could be emotionally traumatised from an experience involving guns. Such as Danielle Vabner‚ a UT student who “lost her 6-year-old brother in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting” joined a rally to support the need of Gun Free colleges. Especially if the intention was “to harm others”‚ this person could potentially feel triggered by that situation when in the presence of a gun. The third

Ex felons should be able to vote after finishing probation or parole. voting would help them readjust to everyday life‚ we let them drive and buy alcohol‚ so why not let them vote. If we truly want people convicted of felonies to re-engage with society‚ become rehabilitated‚ and feel a part of a broader community (thus creating incentives not to recidivate) our state should do everything possible to re-incorporate these individuals into mainstream society.
