• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Elon Musk wants to restrict voting rights

I don't agree with everything he says, but this is actually a good idea as long as the childless are also exempt from the draft and jury duty. I mean, it makes sense. If they don't have kids then fighting in a war could end their entire bloodline. That would be wrong. Also if they aren't considered mature enough to vote, do you really want them to be deciding whether or not you are guilty or innocent at your trial?

In the early days of our Republic only landowners could vote and I think that was something which should never have changed.
 
That's just not how things work in a free society.

Best change you could make would be to eliminate nearly all interactions between the federal government and the individual. Revenue should be raised by taxing member states. And only the House seats should be directly elected by the people. That would dramatically reduce the scope of the government, and pretty much make progressivism extinct. Or at least it would be attenuated to the degree that it appears to be extinct.
 
Humans were built to have a die for you love of another. It brings the greatest perspective.
When society has a large % of childless it effects everything especially sanctity of life. In all aspects. The perception of humanity isn't the same for a parent let alone a parent with a family as it is a person who choses to remain childless and fameless.
