I support you this time. Even for 20, I still believe it is not enough for mentally challenged people. I would say the limit should be set at 25.

I know I am not the only person that values freedom and democracy above anything else.

I guess you have never need to worry about whether you will have bread on your plate, cloth to keep you warm and shelter above your head to keep you dry. So you can call out loud easily that you value freedom and democracy above anything else.

Have you ever heard about Maslow’s five-level Need Hierarchy? The lowest level is “physiological need” – food, air, water and shelter. The second level is “safety need” – secure and stable environment. When you are talking about “freedom and democracy”, it is at least at level three or four.

You may believe you are the true supporter and defender of “freedom and democracy” and we are not. The fact could be the opposite – we may be the true supporters of freedom and democracy. When China is stronger, more stable and having the power to protect its land and citizen, and more importantly its people receive the education needed, and only then, the realization of freedom and democracy can be possible.   

If you want to make a valid argument, please at a look at how the democracy of western countries was established and give us the examples and evidences to support your points, but not just bashing other people who are having a different opinion.

Only calling out loud – “my soul is not for sale” does not do any good to the democracy.
