No.
Generally with age comes more intelligence and experience. Thus, the older you get, the more informed, wise decisions you can make.

Good question in some regards. Obviously there has to be an age limit of some sort since children do not know most of the issues, but then neither do 80% of the people voting. It would however be totally appropriate to give children a "proxy" vote through their parents who presumably have the best interests of their children at heart. Maybe then the current voters would realize that they have a fiduciary responsibility to their children so as not to leave them with mountains of debt and economic misery for the future!

No, experience and knowledge comes with age and thus the wiser decisions come when one is older. I am 18 years old and I believe that the voting age is too low. People at my age are either too uninterested in politics, uneducated in politics, do not care because they aren't affected by politics that much, or vote exactly how their parents vote.

Would you suggest allowing 4 year olds to vote? If not then obviously you believe in a voting age. The question then becomes WHAT age.

Is it fundamentally wrong to have an age limit on when you're allowed to start driving?
Is it fundamentally wrong to have age of consent laws?
In short. No.
In long. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
