Anyone, about anything.
Come on, give it to me. You know you want to.
I'll start off I suppose. The right to vote is bullshit. You should have to earn it.

How would you earn the right to vote, besides age, residency?

So your an elitist but I bet you would have a different opinion if you were the one denied. hmmmmm How would you say one earns it. How about something even more important like being an American citazen how about earning that. Like you have to serve a standard 8 year contract in the military, 4years active and 4 years inactive reserve. hmmmmmmmm??????

Because I can bake one hell of a good apple pie.
All kidding aside, the right to vote isn't about earning, it's supposed to be about maintaining it. You can lose your right to vote by becoming a convicted felon or by getting a dishonorable discharge from the military.
Sad thing is, with the candidates we've seen the last 40 years, that isn't a deterent anymore, but a hidden benefit.

Well for a start the 1/5 people who can't find the fucking United States on a map of the world wouldn't be voting. And possible culling should be considered.

Elitist? If you mean smarter, faster, tougher and richer than most other people, yeah.
Why would I care if my right to vote is taken away?
Sounds like you should join the army then.

Join the army why do that when I'm already a " MARINE "? Go ahead explain that one to me. So is that what they teach you in the army no that your better than those you serve? I doubt it maybe you just misunderstood your oath and what the fuck your there for and who your there for. Let me also let you in on another little fact. Those ignorant fucks you have been taught to look down on. Well you better hope your not alive when or if this nation finaly snaps and all hell breaks loose. Because you better hope your fast because your money ain't going to save your ass it is those (what you call poor)you look down on. Now if your going to associate elitism to survival of the fitist guess what your dead wrong. Elitist are not smarter , tougher and faster when it comes to fighting that is why they make up bullshit laws to hide behind and protect them. like not allowing all free citazens to vote.

It's called a Timocracy. I don't mean to open the door for dumbass contemporary reference, but a famous example is Sparta. Not the right to vote, but the right to move up the social ladder.
