That's a misconception. It isn't a right, it's a privilege.

Oh where I live is a constitutional right.

if you're speaking of the U.S., it's not. if you aren't, awesome.

Nope Australia. It's also classed as one of our civil duties.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think it's cool that it's a civil duty. I still think there should be some way to make sure people are informed but it's a neat idea.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Ok that's cool. In the U.S. it's a privilage because your ability to vote can be revoked.

You dont deserve to vote if you have zero knowledge whatsoever on the issues and policies at hand.

Yes, because we all know how people just love to vote.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They already did that in the past to keep black people from voting, and seriously they will just use the test against certain people today.

I see your point. Sadistic reasoning aside, Grandfather clauses were brilliant.

I feel like you should have to pass the citizenship test. Because plenty of citizens wouldn't be able to...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That'd be a good way. People originally from other countries have to pass it, why not people born in the country?

(Sqwancho):its called the years of social studies/history/government classes we have to take.

But you don't have to pass that to vote. You can be a dropout and still vote (at least in America, I don't know where you are)

I think you should have to take a test before you are allowed to reproduce.

That is racist because African Americans actually had to take tests before they could vote during the segregation times

(<br+/>+<...): Are you trolling? How is that racist if EVERYBODY does it?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

A couple things: 1. You don't ask a troll if they're trolling 2. It's prejudice not racist. 3. If everyone calls a black people NIGGER with malicious intent it's racist

by Anonymous 13 years ago

1) Whatever. 2) So... It's prejudiced towards black people if EVERYBODY has to take the test? 3) Obviously. What does this post have to do with the n-word? It's not about everybody making African-Americans take the test, it's about a law making every person take the test, regardless of color or creed.

Im aware of that, remember im the OP, but its prejudice because of the resent history. and sorry the N word had to do with the anon.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I still don't get how it'd be prejudiced. Especially if you're the OP, why would you suggest this if it'd be prejudiced, unless you're racist?

I hate mexicans.

Also it is prejudice against the ignorant and stupid. Should have mentioned that.
