It was a feeble reply to a feeble post, Den. Your post said nothing except that you had an alternative view. But we all know that already.

I have conveyed my view, with justifications, on many occasions now, and so Andrew's 'straw man' argument that you have taken to repeating doesn't stand up in the first place.

Suggesting old people shouldn't vote on something because they won't be around in the future, is ageism and is prejudice and it is not acceptable to say old people have less of a say than young people, everyone has equal say, no matter what. (I am not saying you are personally saying this but it's the impression I am getting from others).

It is no point the young who were eligible to vote, complaining now, when they had the chance to vote and papa says, were too busy trying to hunt pokoman's.

It was the biggest mistake joining a union that became corrupt and so financially unbalanced, in where we have now only 10 member States, who put more in to the EU, than get out and we are one of them, that's some significant downfall and is not sustainable as we are finding out.

Thank goodness we are finally leaving that corrupted mess, the pathetic shackles they had on us will finally be removed. 40 years in the making, there is no way in hell, I would have voted for that, if I was eligible to, back in the 70's.
Agreed, Mick. In all previous generations, younger people have turned to older people to get the wisdom of their experience. Old people want the best for their younger ones and sometimes have to save them from themselves.
