Mature physically or mentally?
If you mean physically (which I doubt, but I try to cover all my bases), I'd say midgets might get mad.
If you mean mentally, I'd say that there are plenty of adults who are totally immature when it comes to politics and right and wrong who are allowed to vote. If the adults who are imature are allowed to vote, why can't the children vote? It's a double standard, and a way to keep certian americans from their rights. Children don't have freedom of speech, press, religion, as we've seen. The parent is heald responsible and the child is brushed aside. Seems like a double standard.
I make this argument because there are no minors on TFP to defend themselves.
