Kid's should be able to vote!

Since Pro has failed to present any new points in this debate so far, i will spend this argument refuting what Pro has said. Pro starts his argument with saying that " what kid wants to smoke and drink? " Well what kid wants to vote and worry about the government? thats "adult stuff" and for those that DO read about the government they may not be allowed to vote but they can discuss what they think with their parents, who are in fact parents and are in charge of the child's life. How long is it when a new election is started? In the USA it is probably 2-4 years, Governments can make a lot of changes in that time. Pro misinterprets my way of saying that children fend for themselves, when i say "fend for themselves" i mean survival, what is a child to do without proper guardians? Who helps the child when they are struggling through school? Who signs those permission slips saying they are allowed to take part in activities? Who registers them in school anyway? Now why are children restricted, and not allowed to do what the adults do? Because the majority of the people believe that children are not responsible enough. And the average "onlooker" knows whether a child's guardian is taking care of them or not, giving them food, shelter and clothing. The basic necessities of life. So Pro says that everybody over 18 gets a chance to change the future, children can shape their own future, why should children NEED to vote? How many of these children WOULD vote? Not only would allowing them vote be a waste of time, but also inconveniently increase problems with the government. Actually to refute what Con said that people over 18 can change the law, how many laws are actually passed that the people get to have a say in? Why doesn't the over 18 year old people change the law however they please? Because they system is not that simple! And that is what Pro side fails to recognize. Pro also says, "Who sets up schools and makes rules for them? Who goes to these schools? Who provides health care for those under the poverty line? " So who sends these children to school? Who provides them with school supplies? Who SUPPORTS THEM so they can go to school? Why can't children legally make contracts? because the average child is not RESPONSIBLE enough. "Who denies the right for children to choose where they live? " If you want to run away that is completely your choice, nobody is forcing you to do anything, especially the government. "Why, children don't even have the right to not be assaulted! " That is just simply ABSURD, Pro if you desire to be assaulted you don't have to report it to the police, you can always just keep it to yourself. If you WANT children to be legally raped, attacked, robbed, and kidnapped. and have no government to protect you, then not only do you not deserve the right to cast a vote, you also don't deserve to have a right in a say in the government! "I never said that kids shouldn't listen to their parents, I just said that they shouldn't have to agree with them. And I never said that children should hold seats in the government" Then why do we have parents? Gallery let us think for a moment? Why do we have guardians to protect us? Why do we have people to make decisions for us? Pro then goes on to say that children should be allowed to be in the government, and does a explanation on how they should be, but then finishes with nobody would vote for them anyway. Then why allow them? To open a seat for a child is just going to cause more problems for the government itself, unless the child is a genius, the child won't know finances, the child won't know all the laws, the child won't know everything they need to know to LIVE BY THEMSELVES. I would like to ask Pro to name any politician who does not have a high school graduate ( mind you i never said college ). As i said before i would deal with Pro's final point in his argument which was about rights. He talks about sexism, and racism. These were huge problems which were profoundly wrong but children will legally be able to vote, when they are old enough! With these older problems, women could not vote no matter their age! Same goes for African Americans. But children will get the opportunity to vote when they are old enough, and according to the government, and the vast majority of North America, the age is at 18. So Gallery what have we seen? In the end of Round 3, Pro still fails to realize what adults do in his life, and what responsibilities he will face when he becomes of age and must start thinking about fending for himself. But evidently he has not yet done so. And as did you Pro, I eagerly await your proud response.
