CHEESE IS A VIRTUE: Signal Boost: Big NYRA Lower the Voting Age Campaign Tomorrow
Tomorrow (April 8th) as you know is the hearing in Takoma Park to lower the local voting age to 16. Tomorrow we will launch a voting age campaign. These are the plans for the campaign tomorrow.

Untitled: Support Youth Rights
As our society has achieved progress in some areas, we’ve determined that all people deserve fundamental rights regardless of race. We’ve concluded that everyone deserves basic human rights regardless of gender. We’ve decided as a society that homosexual and transgender people deserve basic human…
Small Town Mentality: Sorry...another rant.
You know what gets my goat?
When adults assume all young people are bad. Whey categorize us to all be hooligans. At my friends 16 birthday party 3 years ago, me and 5 friends decided to walk to the local corner store to rent a movie and buy junk food. On the way to the store, there was a school,…
Anonymous asked: you know children and teenager are like autist in their frontal lobes and development. my brother is now 26 even if he is cute and smart (for what he is) i won't let him vote and go wherever he want and that's the same with children even if they want to! i know i did stuffs my dad or teacehrs told me not to and now i regret it, you'll regrret once you're older and smarter and laugh at wht you wrote here... i hope i didn't push you to suicide like some kid complain lol" what censorship listen at
Two reasons why your brain statement could not possibly be true. First of all, If all people under a certain age were autistic, then It would be impossible to diagnose autism under that certain age. Second, there were similar studies back when there was slavery and oppression of women which said basically the same thing, that blacks/women were incompetent, which leads me to believe that your studies were either fabricated, or that there is a link between oppression and stunted brain development, either that or you are referring to the study that the NYRA people are constantly referencing, the study that says that children’s brains don’t reach there peak of performance until 21, and then soon after start lowering slowly until your dead. In which case, why aren’t we censoring 70 year olds, and revoking their rights to vote? (Unless your talking about the SOFA Link, See post below)

Anonymous asked: when you're young it's not censorship because you don't know what you're saying and it could be dangerous for you and or others.... you could say stupud shit like racist that you'll regret later or ridiculous stuffs your employeer can found so it's normal and well for you future that your parents keep an eye on what your saying, it's no "stop censorship"! once you'll be thankfull!! nina 28 yrs old canada i've been youth i know what i am saying
There are some young people who are irresponsible and can’t handle the powers of the Internet, in the same way that minors are sometimes too short to reach the cookies on the top shelf in the pantry. However just like you can’t judge a person just ‘cause they are black, or like you can’t judge a person just ‘cause they are a female, you can’t judge a person just ‘cause they’re young. That’s called ageism. Also because of the modern advances in social networking technology called privacy settings, for the most part not even meet your parents can find your accounts, much less an employer, as long as you don’t use your last name. And even if you do use your last name, like on facebook for instance, if you have your account on the lowest privacy setting, all your employer can see is your picture and a few details about yourself. And also the last I checked youth have brains, and usually for the most part they know what they’re saying. (Oh and If your talking about the banner in the top right corner, thats for a bill called SOFA which to my understanding, basically says that if a corporation accuses the site of infringing their copyright, that website gets shut down immediately whether or not copyright was infringed. Yeah, that banner has nothing to do with youth pride)

I'm a Killjoy: Age
Now here’s a topic that’s controversial and often talked about.
Age. Let’s see, where to begin… Hm. I suppose we can go with stereotypes.
A relative of mine has a habit of telling me whenever I’m being somewhat snarky or overly sarcastic that I’m being “teenager-ish.” This inexplicably pisses…
